This session looks at recent innovations in the field of legislative document management, including developments on open standards, and both XML- and non-XML based systems.

The challenges parliaments face are not simply ones of technology adoption; many are strategic and need to be addressed at a systemic level. To resolve this challenge, there needs to be a stronger focus on articulating, addressing and resolving the strategic barriers.
Day 2: Recent developments in parliamentary websites, Mr. Erdinal Hendradjaja...wepc2016
The website has become one of the primary channels for parliaments to communicate, share information and engage with the public. Today, the proliferation of mobile devices, the social web and higher bandwidth capabilities mean that websites increasingly include audio, video, data, are more interactive and are designed to work cleanly on a wide range of devices. This increases the complexity of planning, managing and resourcing a parliament’s web-estate, as well as the costs of operating it.
Day 3: Working together: global and regional collaboration, Ms. Sylvia Tosar,...wepc2016
Globalization of politics requires parliaments all over the world to cooperate and exchange information. The session will learn about existing forms of inter-parliamentary collaboration, and discuss perspectives for developing common approaches, including open source software solutions, and open standards for legislative document management, including XML.

Day 2: Openness: making use of open data, Ms. Dubravka Filipovski, Member of ...wepc2016
At first, it was assumed that if parliaments made their data available, people would come and get it. More recently, it has become clear that there is still much to do to make open data “profitable” and usable in a constant and reliable way. The session will also question parliament’s ability to access and use data from the executive branch of government and elsewhere in its own research activities.

It is perhaps too early to say that openness is ‘business as usual’ for parliaments, but it is certainly clear that making information accessible to people outside parliament is increasingly happening in digital, and specifically machine-readable, ways. The session will explore new and emerging forms of commitment to openness in legislation and parliamentary rules and practices.

A hands-on session to help parliaments analyze their citizen engagement strategies. Social media is now more widely used amongst parliaments than third-party television or radio. Yet the use of social media tools within parliaments has to be appropriate, and finding the balance with traditional methods of engagement takes practice and fine-tuning.

The Government of Republic of Moldova has been implementing an interoperability platform, named MConnect, to facilitate data exchanges between government entities. MConnect is the core of the process for public services re-engineering, since it allows streamlining public services delivery, both, for citizens and businesses, as well as optimizing internal governmental business processes. MConnect is a technological solution based on the WSO2 stack and provides the foundation for implementing the e-Transformation Agenda of the Government. This session describes the implemented solution.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

10. Open & Transparent Parliament
What we are committed to ensuring that
our Parliament is as open and transparent
as possible
Instead of technology we must focus on
the processes, the human processes,
organization of staff, that they all know well
what to do and how to do.
11. Conclusion
Due to the high cost of open data technologies
many legislatures cannot easily implement
systems that enable open data and have to
operate in the similar way.
It is important as conference participants that we
have to work together to make the access to the
technology better and sustainable, for example
through inter-parliamentary cooperation, and
technical assistance.
Editor's Notes
Various stakeholders including Parliamentary Leadership, Ministers, Members of Parliament contribute towards this process
Staff are being trained and as part of the Strategic Plan parliament will setup legislative drafting office to assist with Private members bills
