Open Linked Governmental Data for Citizen Engagement – A workshop about the benefits and restrictions of open linked governmental data and the role of metadata in citizen engagement (Anneke Zuiderwijk, Marijn Janssen, Keith Jeffery, Yannis Charalabidis) #cedem12
This document discusses the development of an open data e-infrastructure called ENGAGE. It begins by outlining the benefits of open data but notes that many organizations release data without considering how it can be reused. The researchers then describe their approach to identifying requirements for an open data e-infrastructure through literature reviews, interviews, questionnaires and workshops. They identified 95 requirements across 12 categories. ENGAGE aims to meet some of these requirements by facilitating data provision and reuse, linking of datasets, user ratings and cooperation. While no single infrastructure can fulfill all requirements, ENGAGE contributes automated processes, metadata standards, and tools to stimulate open data advantages.
The document summarizes the ENGAGE project, which aims to create an open service platform to integrate large amounts of public sector data and resources to support research communities and citizens. The platform will gather data from government organizations, process it, and provide access in a personalized manner. It will deliver public sector data and citizen needs to researchers and governments. The project will connect to data sources, build directories, develop usage scenarios, and set up the initial infrastructure version to deploy first services.

Data Science: History repeated? – The heritage of the Free and Open Source GI...Peter Löwe
This document discusses the history and lessons that can be learned from the development of geographic information systems (GIS) and how they relate to the emerging field of data science. It argues that data science may follow a similar path to GIS, and outlines several lessons: (1) the importance of standardization, (2) the benefits of free and open source software in enabling analysis, education and improvement, and (3) the value of communities organized around open science principles of sharing and reuse. It highlights the Open Source Geospatial Foundation as an example of an "umbrella organization" that has supported collaborative development through established best practices around governance, software quality and merit-based participation.
The document discusses the ENGAGE metadata architecture for open government data (OGD). It proposes a three-layer metadata model using the CERIF standard to provide richer contextual metadata than typical OGD standards. The model includes discovery metadata mapped to common standards, contextual metadata using CERIF to represent semantics, and detailed subject metadata. This allows generating different metadata formats from CERIF while maintaining structured querying capabilities and enabling semantic web representations through linked open data. The metadata architecture is part of ENGAGE's overall data infrastructure that aims to go beyond existing open data sites in metadata quality, dataset diversity and user services.

Openness a principle in need for a code of conductLeo Plugge
The document discusses the concept of openness and some of its principles. It notes that openness presupposes a common interest and agreement on how resources and information can be accessed, used and shared. The document outlines several examples of openness in areas like education, research, data and infrastructure. It argues that openness is an important concept but requires cooperation, coordination and agreed upon policies to be successful.
The document discusses dati.piemonte.it, an open data platform launched by the Piedmont region of Italy. It provides guidelines for publishing open data, including making data available at marginal cost, using open licenses, and allowing comments and suggestions from users. The goals of the platform are to increase transparency, enable public participation, and foster new business opportunities using the data. So far it has published around 45 datasets that have been downloaded over 2,300 times, with growing interest from both the public and private sectors. The vision is for dati.piemonte.it to help establish a systematic model of open data publication and exchange to facilitate value creation.
The aim of the workshop was to discuss the state-of-art of the Smart City concept and how to translate existing approaches to the reality of the local governments, as well as the institutional capacity for making smarter decisions.
Robert Scholz presented the importance to investigate concepts, which enable the unification and the common understanding and the replication of ICT architectures. He pointed out how to achieve an unified approach which aims to fulfill complex and integrative ICT solutions for Smart Cities. The presented approach aims to base on the idea of openness with 1) respect to interfaces 2)software components and 3) data. It was shown that those are seen as the main ingredient of an ICT eco-system for Smart Cities.

Open data has the potential to enable new public services co-created by governments and the public. However, there are also many barriers. A survey of experts found the key barriers to be a lack of available, high-quality open data, low awareness of open data's benefits, and cultural impediments to co-creation. Successful policies take a comprehensive approach, publish important datasets, and support capacity building to turn barriers into drivers and create a virtuous cycle of open data provision, awareness, and co-created public services.
This document discusses open data and its goals of increasing transparency and reducing the gap between citizens and public administrations. It describes barriers to using open data, such as poor data quality, lack of metadata, and empty or incorrect values. The document then introduces datalets and controllets, which are tools for exploring, filtering, grouping, and visualizing open datasets. An edge-centric architecture is proposed to address issues with open data. Future work areas are also discussed.

The document discusses using fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as decision support tools for smart cities, specifically for smart mobility applications. It aims to simulate urban mobility decision-making processes based on an ongoing research project involving several pilot cities. Key aspects discussed include identifying smart city concepts, exploiting social media and open data to inform policy scenarios, and creating theory-driven and data-driven decision support tools like FCMs. The research outputs will evaluate the potential and barriers of using social media, open data, and FCMs to support evidence-based decision making in smart cities.
The document discusses the evolution of the digital divide in the smartphone era. It argues that a dual digital divide has emerged: 1) Between smartphone users and non-users and 2) Among smartphone users due to differences in skills and access to applications. While access gaps are shrinking, inequalities persist due to high subscription fees and limited skills that prevent full utilization of smartphone capabilities. The author calls for policies to promote digital inclusion and reduce disparities in quality of smartphone use.
The document discusses open access publishing and the motivations behind it. It provides an overview of open access, describes the JeDEM eJournal which has been published since 2009, and evaluates JeDEM based on DOAJ and QOAM criteria. It then outlines a project to develop a methodology for evaluating users' perspectives on open access journals like JeDEM through surveys. Key research questions are presented along with potential motivational factors. The remainder involves workshops at the conference to discuss perspectives on open access from academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
This document discusses how social media, including "matome sites" which aggregate content from sites like 2channel, have become hotbeds for the proliferation of hate speech and racism against Zainichi Koreans in Japan. The rise of these hate groups on social media is linked to political events straining Korea-Japan relations. A survey found that using matome sites is associated with higher levels of both old-fashioned and modern racism toward Zainichi Koreans, and there appears to be a "vicious circle" where racist users are exposed to and reinforced by more racist content on these sites.
This document summarizes a comparative survey on social media and citizen engagement in Asia. It discusses how the survey examines patterns of political engagement in the digital era, with a focus on Confucian Asia. The survey compares countries like China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. It finds that while these societies share cultural traits, they have different political systems that shape the impact of social media on political life. The survey examines topics like types of social media use and engagement, exposure to disagreement, and selective avoidance. It finds exposure to diverse views can encourage engagement but also lead to selective avoidance behaviors like unfriending. The right balance is discussed to ensure citizens benefit from diverse views while certain contexts still enable opinion

The project defined sources of energy demand and supply in the city, created a baseline model of 2012 energy usage, developed 15 alternative energy efficiency scenarios, and used multi-criteria decision making to evaluate and prioritize the scenarios. Key findings indicated that upgrading the energy efficiency of all city buildings could make the most significant contribution to improved energy efficiency, while other high-impact scenarios involved upgrading public lighting and increasing renewable energy production. The research concluded that defining and measuring city-level energy efficiency is important, and that governments play a vital role in long-term planning and implementing local energy efficiency policies.
This document summarizes a presentation on the social media strategies of political institutions in Germany and Japan regarding environmental issues after the 2015 Paris Climate Conference. It finds that the German environmental ministry (BMUB) has a more active social media strategy than its Japanese counterpart, with more tweets engaging other accounts. The BMUB strategy aims to set the agenda, while Japanese officials do not alter strategies between media. Limitations and opportunities for further analysis are discussed.
This document discusses the tension between open government principles of making government data openly available to anyone in the world, and the principle of national sovereignty where governments prioritize serving their own citizens.
It argues that existing principles support openness of government data within national boundaries for a state's own citizens, not globally for anyone interested. Initiatives like open data charters that promote openness to all users worldwide are contrary to national sovereignty.
While e-governance initiatives aim to build information systems, declarations promoting openness to all lack theoretical foundations to justify changing this balance between openness and sovereignty.
This document discusses health risk communication in the digital era. It notes that effective health messages aim to alert people to risks and convince them to behave in recommended ways, traditionally through media. Social media is now an important channel for health risk communication due to its speed, affordance, openness and connectedness. An experiment was conducted looking at risk message context on a news website, news Facebook page, in-group Facebook page, and out-group Facebook page. The findings showed the in-group Facebook page was the most effective at changing behavior as it increased identification with the source and perceived severity and efficacy of the risk. Strategic use of message context and identification with the source can be important for health risk communication on social media.
This study analyzed 425 Facebook pages run by Japanese local governments to examine how they are using social media. The researchers found that the most common policy areas local governments focused on were community development and promotion. Employment, agriculture, and childcare tended to have smaller fan bases, while tourism and public relations had larger fan bases. Most policy areas had low user engagement, but childcare, education, and public relations had more mid-range or higher engagement levels. The number of fans and engagement varied depending on the specific policy area each page focused on.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
