Smart City and Digital Transformation for Urban Good Governanceabiyotb
Abiyot Bayou Tehone presented on smart cities and digital transformation for urban governance. Digital transformation is driven by changing citizen demands, competition, and new technologies. It can help governments engage citizens, empower employees, and optimize operations through technologies like cloud computing, big data analytics, IoT and social media. Ethiopia's CityNet project aims to develop a digital transformation strategy for cities through establishing common digital platforms, applications and infrastructure to provide efficient services and make governance more transparent. Challenges include developing strong digital ecosystems and leadership to implement strategies, though Ethiopia has opportunities due to its telecom infrastructure, IT graduates, private sector and policies supporting digital development.
Digital Governance Science Base: Central concepts of digital government sciencesamossummit
This document discusses key concepts in digital governance. It defines eGovernance and related terms that are often used interchangeably, such as eGovernment, digital governance, and digital transformation. The document notes there is little conceptualization or theorizing of these terms. It also observes that technology determinism often dominates eGovernance research. The document proposes steps for strengthening eGovernance research, such as more theoretical work distinguishing eGovernance from governance, clarifying the role of information systems, and increasing focus on unintended consequences. Finally, it provides preliminary definitions distinguishing digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation, and asks how these information systems concepts could be utilized in eGovernance research.

An intro to linked and open local gov dataIngrid Koehler
This document discusses linked and open data in local government. It provides an introduction and overview of open and linked data concepts. Some key points made include:
- Open data is non-personal government data that is freely available on the web for public use and reuse. Linked data allows different data sets to be combined.
- Potential benefits include increased transparency, opportunities for new applications and services, and better use of data within government.
- Momentum is growing for open data in the UK, but local government has not made it a high priority yet. Initiatives are underway to support standards and data sharing.
This document provides an overview of open government data, including:
- Definitions of open data, open government data, and linked data and how they relate. Open government data is data produced by the government that can be freely used, reused and redistributed.
- Expected benefits of open government data include increased transparency, releasing social and commercial value from the data, and enabling more participatory governance.
- Linked open government data follows principles of using URIs, providing data over HTTP, and including links between datasets to enable discovery and integration.
- European and UK policies aim to unlock the potential of open data through legal and non-legislative measures like national open data portals.
This document discusses open data and open government initiatives. It provides an overview of the Open Government Partnership which aims to promote transparency, empower citizens, and fight corruption through open data and technology. It also summarizes Hawaii's open data policies and initiatives, including the Hawaii Open Data Policy established in 2013, as well as open data certificates and educational resources available through the School of Data.
The document discusses open public data and its benefits, including improving accountability, enabling economic growth, and giving users more control. It outlines principles for open data like being freely reusable and machine-readable. Examples are given of open data applications, and considerations around ensuring data is open, readable, granular, timely, and easy to find are discussed. Limitations including privacy, affordability, and consistency are also covered.
Linking Open Data to Accelerate Low - Carbon Development Martin Kaltenböck
Presentation in the course of the Workshop in Abu Dhabi on 18.01.2012: Linking Open Data to Accelerate Low-Carbon Development - A workshop for decision makers in clean energy organisations - by Martin Kaltenböck, Semantic Web Company (SWC) including:
Linked Open Government Data: Open Government & Open Government Data; Putting the L in Front: from Open Data to Linked Open Data (LOD) -
- Nigel Shadbolt and Tim Berners-Lee were appointed in 2009 to create data.gov.uk and promote open government data.
- Open government data is now being released by governments, local authorities, and cities as it provides benefits such as increased transparency, accountability, and opportunities for economic and social gains.
- Key datasets are being released with open licenses and standards to encourage app development and public use of the data.
This slide set examines the contention that opening data is an inherently good thing - that the case for open data is an open and shut case. It sets out a contrary view that whilst open data is desirable, much more critical thinking is required as to what this means in practice and the possible negative implications of opening data, and calls for a wider debate about the relative merits and politics of open data and how we go about opening data.
Intro to Open data - presentation made as part of Food and Agriculture Organization meeting with Statistician Generals from around Nigeria + other government reps. **References are in the ppt notes
Professor Rob Kitchin from the Programmable City and Maynooth University presents the possible pitfalls to opening data in addition to the costs associated with this practice.
This document discusses open data and open APIs in the U.S. and worldwide. It notes that open data can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose. Governments share data to meet compliance requirements, better communicate with citizens, create efficiencies, and spur innovation and economic growth. The U.S. has over 135,000 open data collections and 450 APIs available. However, challenges remain in making non-machine readable data accessible via APIs and ensuring data quality and privacy. The document advocates expanding open data ecosystems through community engagement to realize open data's potential.
This document defines open data and provides examples of its use. Open data is publicly available data that can be freely used, shared and built upon. Examples like Citymapper, Zillow and FlightAware demonstrate how open data from transportation, real estate and aviation has been used to build useful applications. The document discusses open data essentials, guidelines, formats, sources, challenges and how people can participate by contributing, advocating or finding innovative uses for open data.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

2. Open data
• is the idea that certain data should be
– freely available
– to everyone
– to use and republish as they wish,
– without restrictions from copyright, patents or
other mechanisms of control.
2
3. Public/Government data
3
– Objective
– Factual
– No personal data
– On which public
service run and
– policy decision
are based
– collected and
generated in the
curse of public
service delivery
4. 4
• The data must be available as a whole and at no
more than a reasonable reproduction cost,
• preferably by downloading over the internet.
• must also be available in a convenient and
modifiable form
Availability
and Access
Reuse and
Redistribution
• The data must be provided under terms that permit
reuse and redistribution including the intermixing
with other datasets.
Universal
Participation
• everyone must be able to use, reuse and
redistribute –
• there should be no discrimination against fields of
endeavor or against persons or groups (including
commercial use)
Open data
Data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone -
subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share
alike
5. • Open Government
– Government should be
– Transparent:
with information about agency operations and
decisions available to the public online.
– participatory,
tapping the collective expertise of the public in
government decision-making processes.
– collaborative,
using technology to share and cooperate with other
agencies, businesses and nonprofits, and the public at
large.

6. What is Open Government data
• Public data
– help people understand how government works
and how policies are made
• Already available,
– “Open” brings it together in one searchable
website.
• Making this data easily available
– it will be easier for people to make decisions
and suggestions about government policies
based on detailed information.
• Improving the relationship between the
government and its constituents
• Encourage “Government as a platform”,
• Citizens can use open government data to build
their own tools and collaborate directly in the
process of governing
• Promote Data Journalism
Example: The White House
digital government
strategy
– explicitly embraces
releasing open data in
APIs to enable more
accountability, civic utility
and economic value
creation.

7. Benefits of Open Government Data
Transparency.
Citizens need to know what their government is doing.
They need to be able freely to access government data and information and to share that
information with other citizens.
Sharing and reuse allows analysing and visualising to create more understanding.
Releasing social and commercial value.
Data is a key resource for social and commercial activities.
Governments as one of the largest producers and collectors of data
Open government data can help drive the creation of innovative business and services that deliver
social and commercial value.
Participatory governance.
Directly informed and involved in decision-making
• opportunity to actively participate in governance processes, (Not only Voting)
• able to make better decisions
Reducing government costs.
sharing of information within governments in machine-readable interoperable formats,
Innovative services

9. How it helps
How Open Data can help you
• Excerpt from VanRoekel’s (Federal Chief
Information Officer of the US) interview
• For example real estate. When you're
buying a home, why doesn't it manifest to
you the myriad of data that the
government has locked up about
– school quality,
– healthcare quality,
– infrastructure investments,
– broadband, everything else that
people really care about when
they're picking a place to live?
• We don't do that — we do roof
composition and the number of
bathrooms, and that's typically the extent
of it. Some services are doing a better job
with other government data but largely
it's pretty silo'ed and not very specific to
what Americans really care about.

11. Technical & Legal Access to OGD
Technical & Legal access to OGD should,
• Ensure no dependency on the original
provider of the data by using bulk download,.
• Allow anyone else that obtain a copy can
redistribute it.
• Facilitate others to develop their own
services using the data,
