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 discusses social media use in government. It notes that the top 5 uses of social media by federal agencies are to communicate with citizens and other agencies, collaborate internally, conduct marketing and promotion, conduct research and gather information, and support informed decision making. The top 5 benefits are increased education of the public, information access, agency promotion, cost savings and efficiencies, and increased collaboration. It provides examples of GovLoop, a social network for government, and how the CDC has used social media analytics to improve engagement. It also discusses challenges in measuring social media return on investment and provides recommendations for doing so.
The document discusses Kenya's Open Data Initiative (KODI) which was launched in 2011 by President Kibaki. KODI makes key government data freely available online, including census data and expenditure information. Over 17,000 people have accessed the data and tools have been built to make the data more useful. Open data in Kenya aims to improve governance and transparency. It is a platform for innovation that can generate economic and social value through new businesses and improved services. The document calls for raising awareness of open data, establishing supportive policies and infrastructure, and public-private partnerships to sustain open data initiatives in Kenya.
The document discusses leveraging technology for community consultation and engagement. It provides an example of how the City of Kingston used technology throughout their LivingKingston2035 consultation process to create broader awareness, increase participation, and manage and derive value from the large amount of data collected. Over 6,000 community members participated, providing over 13,500 ideas. Technology allowed effective sorting and analysis of this data to inform decision making. Lessons from this case study emphasize planning technology use, making data central, and preparing for open data initiatives.
This document discusses the concept of reciprocal open source government (roseGOV), where governments openly share open source approaches for public services like licensing, health, education, and justice. The idea originated from presentations by Tim O'Reilly on "Government as a Platform" and the UK's "Better for Less" initiative. Proponents argue that open sharing of approaches between countries like Norway and the UK could reduce costs while improving services. International groups like the Digital 9 nations have endorsed principles of open standards, source, government and connectivity to share digital best practices globally. The document proposes that roseGOV sharing will spread to help governments worldwide respond more effectively to "wicked problems" like climate change and poverty.
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and Government 2.0, and how large organizations like the ABC can adopt Web 2.0 approaches. It notes that Web 2.0 is characterized by collaboration over control, with users helping to build value. For Government 2.0, this is even more difficult but follows similar principles. The ABC is encouraged to make more content openly available, engage communities around programs, and get more community-generated content while reducing barriers to online engagement.
This progress report provides an overview of the Obama Administration's efforts to implement open government based on the values of transparency, participation, and collaboration. Some key initiatives discussed include making government data and spending more accessible and searchable online through sites like Data.gov and USASpending.gov; soliciting public input to inform policymaking through forums, challenges, and social media; and facilitating collaboration between agencies and citizens to solve problems like public health issues. The report outlines the Administration's vision of openness and highlights several projects across federal agencies that aim to put these principles into practice in service of national priorities.
Open Data for Development - John Ndungu, iLabAfricaWeb Gathering
The document discusses Kenya's open data initiative, which launched in 2011 and made government data freely available online. It summarizes the types of data released, like census and expenditure information. Developers have used the open data to build tools that make the information more useful. Over time, more datasets have been added and downloaded. The goals of open data are to improve governance and transparency, enable data-driven decision making, and generate economic and social value through innovation. For open data to have long-term impact, the document recommends raising awareness, developing supportive policies and infrastructure, and encouraging public-private partnerships around open data in Kenya.
The document outlines Sanjeev Bhagowalia's presentation on the Hawaii GIS Program and vision for the role of GIS in Hawaii.

The presentation aims to discuss how GIS can be further developed and leveraged across government agencies in Hawaii.
The document discusses the goals and progress of Data.gov, a US government platform that provides access to government data. It aims to 1) gather data from agencies and make it openly available, 2) connect developers, scientists and citizens to find solutions, 3) provide infrastructure based on standards, and 4) encourage apps and visualizations using the data. Since 2009, Data.gov has grown from 47 to over 400,000 datasets and driven the creation of hundreds of applications and visualizations that have improved lives. The document outlines plans to further open data internationally and drive innovation.
The Collaboration Project: Building Open, Participatory and Collaborative Gov...Franciel
This document discusses how government can build a more open, participatory and collaborative model using Web 2.0 technologies. It argues that government should engage citizens and stakeholders by pulling them into the process rather than just pushing information out. Examples are given of how tools like wikis, blogs and social networks can foster more transparency, collaboration and civic participation. The document concludes by recommending that government build an open infrastructure, treat data as a national asset, and create a culture of collaboration.
lessons in Gov 2.0: building strategy from the inside outPatrick McCormick
In the seminar, Pat will share his experience and provide an overview of:
the application of social media to the business of government and engagement with citizens
developing a strategic approach to using social media as well as supporting a culture of collaboration.
Pat\'s presentation will draw on a range of practical Gov 2.0 examples in the Department of Justice such as Fire Ready mobile applications, Championship Moves, Cameras Cut Crashes, and the Sentencing Advisory Council.
The document discusses the principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration in government and how social media can help implement these principles. It defines social media as connecting, communicating, and collaborating using technology to remove barriers like geography. When people converse and collaborate, communities emerge with different roles like leaders, influencers, evangelists, and viewers. The goal is for government to be more open and engage citizens using these social media concepts and tools.
The document is an outline for the FY 2011 Annual Report of the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies (OCSIT).

I use the term "Generation C" describe all people who engage one another on the Internet with a 2.0 mindset: creative, collaborative and community-oriented. I also give several ideas for bridging the generation gap in our workplaces and classrooms through social media.

Federal Family Portrait: Boomers Passing the Torch to Gens X/YAndrew Krzmarzick
This document discusses challenges in the federal workforce as baby boomers retire and attracting younger generations. It notes that 60% of federal workers will be eligible for retirement by 2015, creating a potential "brain drain." Younger generations have different expectations of work, seeking flexibility, meaningful work, and opportunities to advance. The document outlines characteristics of different generations and presents 12 potential solutions to address recruitment and retention, such as internships, rotational assignments, social networking, and making government service appealing. The goal is developing strategies to transition responsibilities to new generations and maintain institutional knowledge.
Everyone knows that the Federal hiring process is broken. One of the ways we can streamline it is through the use of social media. In this slide deck, I provide an overview of the intersection of the four generations and social media, and offer 13 ideas to to recruit, retain and train the next generation of government.
The Training Officers Consortium (TOC - http://www.trainingofficers.org), founded in 1938 in Washington, DC, is a nonprofit organization of federal trainers and other professionals from industry and academia who are interested in contributing to the knowledge and practice of human resources and training. This slide show was presented at the 2009 Annual TOC Institute in Williamsburg, VA.

“Nondisclosure should never be
based on an effort to protect the
interest of Government officials at
the expense of those they are
supposed to serve.”
“All agencies should adopt a
presumption in favor of
disclosure….”
Presume openness;
disclose affirmatively;
and modernize.

54. 5 Mega Trends
with Social Media
and Government*

“This is a terrible time to be a control freak”
– Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State
• broad recognition that government information belongs to the people
• technology is enabling a new wave of sharing
• Best practice: U.S. Government Printing Office site
o volumes of documents now available at visitor finger tips

economic or technological. It’s emotional.”
— Aneesh Chopra, Former CTO of the U.S. Government
• Challenge.gov rewards citizens with cash prizes for solving
government problems
• Crowd-sourced budgeting processes
• NASA has a range of programs encouraging active participation in
agency project – customize your own NASA project page

57. 3. Humanizing government
“Social media is not a second website,
it’s a community.”
— Tristram Perry, U.S. State Department
• people are people, brands are building an emotional connection
• citizens are expecting government to do the same
• City of Reno poked fun with YouTube videos, crooked Christmas tree.
• U.S. Embassy, Jakarta = more Facebook fans than all embassies combined:
o Spark discussion and give people a reason to belong.
o Customize your information for your audience.
o Develop unique, engaging content.

59. 5. Real-time response (and mobile)
• in private sector, there are many case studies about companies using social
media as an effective tool to solve problems in real-time
• these practices are being adopted by state and city (and federal)
governments.
• with a tweet or text (or an app) — potholes, broken street lights and other
issues are being reported and fixed.
• 311-Twitter service in San Franciso, for example, has answered over 7 million
calls and thousands of more requests online.
Why wouldn’t citizens expect national
governments to do the same?
