Danae Isis Morales García, Egbert J. Sánchez Vanderkast: National Policy on O...KISK FF MU
Talk given at the BOBCATSSS 2015 conference - http://www.bobcatsss2015.com/.
The National Policy on Open Data aims to develop mechanisms for transparency and accountability of government to citizens. Therefore I consider it necessary to make an analysis model to assess the international guidelines, and analyze how they are applied to the models implemented by the governments of different countries. This analysis applied in Mexico. The objective is to analyze in which way the open data in e-government environment strengthen transparency.

Slides used giving an overview of public sector use of open data standards, URIs and role that linked data can play (and where it might be useful) plus the role in things like earth observations and INSPIRE… creating hooks for the later talks at the Space Applications Catapult workshop
This presentation covers some of the major trends in marketing that are now taking hold. It covers whether newspapers as we know them will survive, cable television, yellow pages and what will replace them as they die.
How a new national approach to IT procurement will help to drive innovation , interoperability and data sharing across the public sectors. Success would significantly boost public sector efforts to deliver channel shift, early intervention and workplace transformation.

Introducing the Richmond Noticeboard - an open, free, independent spaceSarah Hartley
This is the slidedeck I presented to Richmondshire councillors at a workshop in the town ahead of their decision to be made about filming council meetings.
This presentation looked at what being local means in a mobile context. As well as setting the scene it looks at two specifica projects we've been working on at Talk About Local - a prototype AR app for local publishers (codenamed Apollo) and the ongoing development of the n0tice suite of tools which includes a whitelabel VIP service for publishers.
Talk given to the October gathering of the Digital Editors' Network in Preston which updated on some of the ongoing research I've been doing to track UK developments in the hyperlocal news space. More information and an invitation to share links at my blog www.sarahhartley.wordpress.com.

2. Introduction
Talk About Local provides consulting, training and business services to help
people understand local grass roots media.
Started in 2009 with funding from major broadcaster to explore new ways of
providing public service content
Has trained thousands of people in how they can use simple online tools to find
their voice.
Campaigns for greater access to information for all citizens with opendata
3. Hyperlocal sites
- specific issue to address
Work with individuals - isolated geographically or socially
- reduction in mainstream news
_ currently more than 600 UK sites
- many campaigning

5. Towards a local pubic data manifesto
- published in September
Schools – help third parties provide decent school application information processes – publish data on places,
intake and catchment areas
Health – better information to support tough decisions on local social care as local authorities assume
responsibility – publish detailed expenditure and performance data on social care and create pro-actively
transparent local health and wellbeing boards.
Crime – people able to see that justice is being done in their community on issues they care about. Who is
appearing in local courts for local crimes, what happens to them, sentences and when people are being
released.
Planning and built environment – citizens can’t get involved if they can’t easily navigate applications and case
histories about nearby planning applications. People need to know what is going on near them to contribute to
neighbourhood plans on an informed basis. Local planning lists and decisions should be published in real time
as open data.
Licensing – citizens need to be equipped with basic information to use new powers to control bars, clubs,
pubs, adult venues, gambling venues. Publish as open data applications for all classes of alcohol,
entertainment and adult services licences. Also data about the trends and (criminal) behaviour of the licensees
and premises.
Environment – inform people’s decisions about levels of pollution in their daily lives so that they can avoid or
campaign to change it. Publish pollution levels data from all local monitoring equipment. Bins and recycling
collections can often be baroque, publish timetables and services as open data.
Transport – getting more out of largely fixed local transport infrastructure and shrinking services can only be
done with better information. Publish local timetables, parking/waiting places, usage rates, subsidy and
restrictions as open data.
6. Still locked into older CMS and
Local authorities Low risk low cost
complex web of transactional
services
Local procurement remains slow innovation
Budgets USA mobile market
Improvise
about to pass 50%
shrinking smart phone
drastically penetration
Council senior
Startling shift to mobile executives
keep having
Customers expectations keep bright ideas
leaping ahead
7. We all need to share the
pain in an age of austerity –
the web budget is cut by
30%
Oh dear – I can manage as long as they don’t want
any new stuff. But that’s not likely to happen.
9. We need to talk to people
online we can’t afford as
much print or traditional
consultation
Help people find their own voice online without me
having a moderation and tech support liability
10. Give people skills not a
platform
Talk About Local trains
people to find their own
voice online for their
communities that they own
and run
Camden Council,
Broxtowe Borouch
Council, Cambs County
Council, Cabinet Office,
NESTA etc
11. We need a mobile app for
our staff to communicate
on the go as roving eyes
and ears of the council
Many already have own smart phones all have
camera phones – need mobile and desktop solution
for diverse use cases
12. Street reporting – n0tice
new hugely flexible
platform developed by
GMG
Create noticeboard for
area
Use employee phones
smart or camera
All geo tagged
http://n0tice.com
13. Neighbourhood plans are
coming. We need a
something on the web to
help residents work to with
planners to draw them up
Need to visualise built environment and provided
shared work space for public and council staff as
peers
14. Google SketchUp
(now by Trimble) for
3D visualistion
Use Google Earth
landscapes/terrain to
insert visualisations
Use Blogger or
Wordpress.com as
the discussion space
Google Docs for
drafting the plan and
managing documents
16. Get me some Google glass
goggle things
I saw this thing in Wired....
The in flight magazine had
this amazing...
A new way of showing people what is happening to
the place around them
17. http://talkaboutlocal.org.uk/ar/
Talk About Local has a
very simple approach to
augmented reality – just
paste in an RSS feed of
content with geo tags
and walk away.
Click, copy, paste
forget.
New posts with geotags
in your feed
automatically upload to
Layar – with click
through to your site and
‘take me there’
directions
