The document discusses eParticipation and eDemocracy projects and strategies in Austria. It defines key terms like eDemocracy and levels of eParticipation. It outlines Austria's eDemocracy strategy, which aims to strengthen democracy through citizen engagement and transparency. It describes several Austrian projects, including Youth2Help (top-down) and MyParliament (bottom-up). It concludes by looking at future trends in digital participation and open innovation principles.
The document discusses e-democracy and e-government initiatives in the EU, Austria, and Southeast Europe. It outlines Austria's official e-government vision of establishing transparency and strengthening trust through participatory and interactive digital systems. Key aspects of Austria's e-democracy strategy are described, including increasing transparency, improving e-participation, and developing new cooperation models between citizens and government. Examples of e-participation projects in Austria, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina are provided. The outlook emphasizes open government principles and innovation through societal cooperation as important directions for future policy.
The document introduces the concept of Web Science and discusses its emergence as a new field of study. It describes the Web Science Research Initiative which aims to take a multidisciplinary approach to examining the Web. It then discusses different perspectives on what constitutes "The Web" from both user and scientific perspectives. Finally, it outlines some of the challenges in understanding the Web that Web Science seeks to address, such as its social and technical aspects as well as how it influences other domains.
This document summarizes the key points from Dr. Jenine Beekhuyzen's doctoral research on unauthorized file sharing communities online. She conducted an ethnographic study of an underground file sharing community called "Roswell" over 120 days, including interviews and covert observation. Her findings showed that the community had strong social norms for participation and contributed content in a meritocratic way. She found that members' motivations for file sharing included issues of cost, convenience, and choice compared to legitimate options. Her research provided insights into these underground communities and implications for the design of legitimate online music systems.

New technology impacts on social practices and our own perceptionsRonglin Yao
The document discusses how new technology, as represented by computers and the internet, has brought about major shifts in literacy and social practices according to Walter Ong. It argues that new technology both reflects existing social practices to a great extent, as technological innovations are developed to meet social needs and demands, and also changes social practices and ways of thinking to a great extent, profoundly impacting areas like work, communication, and daily life. Examples are given of how the internet has revolutionized work patterns through remote work and e-commerce, changed communication and social interaction, and transformed how people access information and do everyday tasks.
1999 ACM SIGCHI - Counting on Community in CyberspaceMarc Smith
This panel discusses research projects studying the formation of online communities. Each panelist presents empirical research on a different social cyber space:
1) Marc Smith studied Usenet and found islands of cooperative behavior exist, contradicting the idea it has succumbed to a "tragedy of the commons".
2) Steven Drucker analyzed graphical chat system V-Chat and found the graphical features were used extensively without direct prompts, showing why people communicate this way.
3) Barry Wellman studied residents in a wired Canadian suburb, finding how existing online services are used and what future services people want, providing insight into future connected communities.
4) Robert Kraut found that greater internet use was associated with declines in
Inclusion through Learning and Web 2.0 - A New Project for Better Policies an...Sandra Schön (aka Schoen)
The document summarizes the LINKS-UP project, which aims to collect experiences from European projects using learning and Web 2.0 for inclusion. It will develop recommendations for better future projects and policies in this area. The project involves case studies of existing initiatives and innovation laboratories to test hypotheses. Four case studies being analyzed are projects focused on rehabilitation, professional orientation for young migrants, a social network for seniors, and an e-portfolio training for teachers. The results of LINKS-UP aim to provide guidance for more effective inclusion initiatives using emerging technologies.
Characterizing Online Participation in Civic Technologies - PhDPablo Aragón
This document summarizes research characterizing online participation in civic technologies. It discusses how online platforms have transformed society and the rise of civic tech tools intended to facilitate democratic participation. However, platform design is not neutral and can influence how citizens engage. The research aims to better understand how technical features of civic platforms impact participation through case studies of online discussion forums and petition platforms. Key findings include that conversation threading on one forum increased discussion depth and reciprocity, while changing the ranking algorithm on a petition site made it harder for new petitions to gain visibility and support.
This document outlines a framework for the emerging field of Web Science. It discusses the need to understand how decentralized information systems like the World Wide Web have evolved and continue developing in response to scientific, commercial and social pressures. The document proposes that Web Science should take an interdisciplinary approach to both analyzing the Web and engineering its further development in a way that respects its architectural principles and social aspects. It surveys some of the key issues that Web Science may address, such as the development of the Semantic Web and ensuring important properties like privacy.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Tracey P. Lauriault on data power. The presentation discusses how data is not objective and exists within social contexts. It also examines how data analytics reflect particular worldviews and epistemologies. Additionally, the presentation explores the concept of data assemblages and how data is part of larger socio-technical systems. Finally, it poses critical questions about data power and the role of data science in understanding and navigating issues of datafication.
WeGov - Where eGovernment meets the eSociety @ EGOV2011 conference - Overview...Timo Wandhoefer
This document provides an overview of the EU Project WeGov, which aims to enrich two-way dialogue between citizens and politics through social networking sites. The project extracts functionality from social networks to build a toolbox that supports policymakers' work and allows for citizen-politics dialogue through use cases. An initial prototype was demonstrated to the German Parliament and the toolbox is being evaluated before a final version is released in December 2011.

Abstract:
In a technological society such as Canada, it is suggested that a specialized kind of expert citizenship is needed (Andrew Feenberg). In the era of big data, others suggest that there is a need to learn how to read algorithms and to study its high priests and alchemists (Genevieve Bell). While, doing citizenship requires a political ethics of technology to thwart technological and quantitative fundamentalism (Darin Barney). Finally, in the midst of a data revolution we need to critically re-conceptualize data (Rob Kitchin). Quite simply, in today's Canada doing citizenship requires data literacy, technical, philosophical and political. Access to print media - books, government documents, academic journals - in libraries and archives enabled a literate society, the prerequisite of a democratic system. I argue that good governance in knowledge producing institutions, is to have technological experts, both data creators and preservers, working to store, manage, disseminate and preserve data so that we have the requisite artifacts to increase our literacy and build upon collected knowledge. Data literacy I suggest, is indispensable in the current democratic system, and that requires having access to data, data infrastructures - knowledge and technology - and dedicated skilled people and resources to sustainably care for them. I consider research data management to be our duty.
This document summarizes a research study on the use of Twitter by the local government of Duisburg, Germany. The study analyzed all 792 tweets from the city's official Twitter account from May to October 2009. Key findings included:
1) Most tweets focused on local topics and events within Duisburg to promote a sense of locality. Common topics were local news and information about daily events.
2) The tweets helped create an online information network by cross-linking to other city media formats, increasing awareness of the city. However, interaction and participation through the tweets was limited.
3) While the number of followers grew steadily, Twitter remained a niche channel for the city. The tweets mirrored and reported local news

This document summarizes research into the existence of a public sphere in the Australian .au domain and how technology can reinvigorate political engagement. The research used web crawls and content analysis of online discussions around electoral and environmental issues in Australia. Key findings include the identification of a public sphere populated by civil society organizations, with political discussions online mirroring and impacting offline debates. Issues are discussed individually rather than through collective allegiances, with political identities constructed separately online. The research also examines the opportunities and challenges of digital political participation, including its impact on traditional institutions.
Civic Technologies: Research, Practice, and Open ChallengesPablo Aragón
This position paper discusses governing data assets from platform labor as a commons. It notes that digital workers currently lack power due to an inability to unionize and firms enclosing data about worker activity. The paper proposes using civic technology to facilitate collective action by workers. Specifically, it suggests converting enclosed platform data back into a common-pool resource for workers to access, in order to mitigate power asymmetries between firms and workers. Key questions discussed include learning from precedents for converting enclosed goods to commons, and how to create sustainable governance models for shared worker data through civic platforms using participatory design principles.
The document summarizes an investigation of internet-based Korean politics using e-research tools. It discusses the development of tools like WeboNaver, Cyworld Extractor, and Twitter Extractor to analyze online prominence of politicians across platforms, semantic networks, and sentiment analysis. It also covers the theoretical framework and current status of e-research in South Korea.
Visible Effort: A Social Entropy Methodology for Managing Computer-Mediated ...Sorin Adam Matei
A theoretically-grounded learning feedback tool suite, the Visible Effort (VE) Mediawiki extension, is proposed for optimizing online group learning activities by measuring the amount of equality and the emergence of social structure in groups that participate in Computer-Mediated Collaboration (CMC). Building on social entropy theory, drawn from Shannon’s Mathematical Theory of Communication, VE captures levels of CMC unevenness and group structure and visualizes them on wiki Web pages through background colors, charts, and tabular data. Visual information provides users entropic feedback on how balanced and equitable collaboration is within their online group are, while helping them to maintain it within optimal levels. Finally, we present the theoretical and practical implications of VE and the measures behind it, as well as illustrate VE’s capabilities by describing a quasi-experimental teaching activity (use scenario) in tandem with a detailed discussion of theoretical justification, methodological underpinning, and technological capabilities of the approach.

Ansoff's product/market matrix suggests four growth strategies for businesses:
1) Market penetration focuses on selling existing products to existing markets through competitive pricing, advertising, and loyalty programs.
2) Market development sells existing products in new markets like different countries, packaging, or distribution channels.
3) Product development introduces new products to existing markets and requires modifying products to appeal to current customers.
4) Diversification, the riskiest strategy, markets new products in new markets and requires experience in unfamiliar areas.

Digital Democracy by Katarzyna Anna Klimowicz and David Duenas-CidLuke Turkus Solarski
Presentation by Katarzyna Anna Klimowicz and David Duenas-Cid.
Until recently, digital democracy might have seemed like a scenario straight out of science fiction. Today, thanks to the innovative efforts of so-called „network” or „digital parties” (such as the International Pirate Party network, the Podemos party and the Barcelona en Comu movement) and other actors specializing in the design and implementation of online platforms for collective decision-making and other participatory digital tools, various forms of online participation are becoming an increasingly integral part of our hybrid reality.
Does it always really work that way? And what are the challenges involved?
My name is Katarzyna Anna Klimowicz and I invite you to the next meeting in the Teal Breakfast series, where my colleague David Duenas-Cid and I will try to answer some of these big questions and discuss with you how technology combines with politics.
This document discusses the challenges of governance in a complex world and proposes research directions for ICT-enabled governance. It notes that society is increasingly fast-changing while governance remains siloed and linear. This creates a gap between society and governance. It proposes that by 2020, policy-making could involve more collaborative and data-driven approaches utilizing modeling, simulation, and collective intelligence tools. Key research challenges include developing integrated and reusable models simulating large societal phenomena, facilitating collaborative modeling between citizens and groups, and ensuring real-time open government data. The document outlines several European research projects exploring these directions to support more evidence-based and participatory decision-making.
The document discusses e-participation strategies in Austria. It describes:
1) The Austrian e-democracy strategy aims to increase transparency, improve communication, develop electronic participation models, and promote social networks to strengthen democracy.
2) The project "Youth2Help" allowed Austrian youth to decide on the content and features of a government website to provide them information. It received over 900 contributions and 2000 votes.
3) Lessons from the project showed that moderation, public relations including social media, web accessibility, and addressing important topics like law were key to success with youth.
E Participation in Austria - The Project jugend2helpJohann Höchtl
The document discusses e-participation strategies in Austria. It outlines Austria's e-democracy strategy, which aims to increase transparency, improve communication, and promote electronic participation and social networks. It also describes a project called "Youth2Help" that asked Austrian youth to provide input on the content and features of a government website for young people. Lessons from the project highlighted the importance of moderation, public relations, and ensuring web accessibility.
Participative local democracy: Possibilities with new technologiesDaniel Gracia
In this report I examine the possibilities t offered by new technologies, such as the Internet, informatics devices and telecommunications, to improve legitimacy. I will be focusing specially in local institutions, like the city council of Illescas. Due this space allows implementing these tools faster with less cost and risk. From this point, I distinguish four fields in which new technologies may be used in order to reach a remarkable political participation: 1) elections, 2) referendums, 3) transparency, and 4) legislative initiative. However, before assessing the possibilities of new technologies in the field of local democracy; I determine the requirements to succeed in our idea.
This document discusses the potential for direct digital democracy using collective intelligence and connectivity enabled by modern technology. It outlines how social media and smart devices allow for an exponential growth in connections between expert citizens and shared information. This global collective intelligence could be applied to politics through problems mapping, collecting proposals, and final evaluation votes to decide solutions. The document calls for connecting and enhancing existing e-democracy tools in Europe, and introducing direct digital democracy at all government levels, allowing real-time voting and mass citizen participation without political party filters. The goal is knowledge socialization to address rational ignorance and corporate/multinational influence over governments.
This document discusses how new information and communication technologies (ICT) can impact civic participation models in democracy. It begins by defining key terms like electronic democracy, e-participation, and e-tools.
It then examines how ICT can both increase and potentially limit civic participation. ICT allows for more direct communication between citizens and government, removing barriers to participation. However, not all citizens have access or skills to use ICT, and online debates risk being dominated by a few vocal users.
The document also analyzes conditions for online civic participation, noting benefits like improved access to information but also challenges like ensuring political awareness and "civic culture" among participants. While ICT offers new options, critics argue it
The document discusses access to knowledge and the digital divide. It outlines several frameworks for understanding how access to technology relates to development and network societies. These include theories of human development, network societies, and strategies for addressing the digital divide through infrastructure development, legal frameworks, digital literacy training, and increasing access to content and services. The document also discusses different types of digital literacy and how access to knowledge and technology can empower citizens or lead to inequality and exclusion in information societies.
The document discusses integrating e-participation into political education to foster youth engagement. It argues that developing a participatory culture through web technologies can decentralize information sharing and collaboration. For effective e-participation, it is important to establish spaces for participation in political education curricula and develop citizens' skills and abilities to participate through informed discussion and decision making from the bottom-up. Political education should encourage independent action, student-centered learning using new forms of expression, and civic engagement through new media.
This document summarizes a report on growing a digital social innovation ecosystem in Europe. Some key findings include:
1) Digital technologies are well-suited to helping civic action by mobilizing communities, sharing resources, and spreading power. Examples of digital social innovations (DSI) range from social networks for health conditions to open data platforms.
2) The report identifies four main technological trends in DSI - open hardware, open networks, open data, and open knowledge. Examples like Safecast and OpenCorporates are provided.
3) Over 990 DSI organizations and 6,000 projects have been mapped. Most projects focus on education and participation. The network is still fragmented with few well-connected
Electronic media has become the leading source that society uses to obtain information on current events, surpassing print media. Radio and television grew from providing news and entertainment to complex platforms. Radio evolved from navigation to include various content. Television also expanded its small screen to include more. While electronic media has benefits like instant access, it also has risks like prioritizing entertainment over substance and weakening societal values. The dominance of electronic media shapes how people understand world events now more than print media.
The document discusses the concepts of network society and open government. It defines key aspects of network society including the shifting of communication models from one-to-many to many-to-many. Open government principles around transparency, participation, collaboration, and being open to innovation are also outlined. Examples of open government tools and initiatives to promote citizen participation and collaboration are provided.
introducing sheets as panelist on ‘Challenges on Accessibility on Digital Services’ at the International Conference on Digital Society and eGovernments (ICDS) & International Conference on eHealth, Telemedicine, and Social Medicine (eTELEMED).
March 25 to March 29, 2018, Rome
The eSociety Institute conducts conceptual, exploratory research projects and innovation trajectories to develop a strategy for a national digital society using an integral approach to equip digital citizens. The institute partners with various government organizations, research platforms, and educational institutions. Key research areas include e-government, e-health, open data, and citizen information management to support an active, participatory digital society.
This document summarizes key debates in internet studies. It discusses the origins and growth of the internet from the 1960s to the 1990s. It then covers two case studies: 1) the shift from viewing the digital divide as an access issue to promoting digital inclusion, and 2) research on how the internet can enhance online political participation and e-democracy. The document also examines what internet studies encompasses as a field and different approaches to critique within internet studies research.

"Understanding Broadband from the Outside" - ARNIC Seminar April1 08ARNIC
The document discusses various approaches to understanding broadband and technology from a community perspective, including:
1. Starting with community needs and involving local stakeholders.
2. Considering multiple perspectives from fields like development, education, and natural resource management.
3. Using systems thinking and participatory action research to understand complex relationships and emergent behaviors.
This document summarizes a study on the political engagement of young people in Austria online. It finds that most young people are more "lurkers" than actively engaged. They are more interested in entertainment and social networking than politics. When searching for political information online, they have trouble finding reliable sources and often end up on social media instead of official websites. The study also examines a student protest movement called "unibrennt" that was organized largely through social media like Twitter. It concludes that while young people are active online, more needs to be done to build "bridges" between their online social networks and real-world political engagement and institutions.
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.
[X]CHANGING PERSPECTIVES:
ENRICHING MULTISTAKEHOLDER DELIBERATION WITH EMBODIMENT IN
PARTICIPATORY SOCIETY presented at the CeDEM17 Conference in Krems, Austria
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
This document discusses a research project called InSmart that aimed to model and evaluate energy efficiency in the city of Trikala, Greece. 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.

Call for Papers
In modern democracies, people are to be empowered by means of information and
communication technologies. Transparency and access to data, new ways of interacting with
government and democratic institutions cause profound changes in society. Social media and
the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation, collaboration and sharing
as well as network organisation change our understanding of politics and business.
Governmental and private internet services have increased the citizens’ independence and
flexibility. However, enthusiastic ideas and projects often failed to produce the expected
results as technology is only the basis for new forms of organisation and interaction.
CeDEM12 seeks to critically analyse present and future developments in e-democracy and
open government.
