La nuova era del Open Government
Storicamente la Pubblica Amministrazione è stato un produttore,
raccoglitore e distributore di informazioni strutturate e certificate, tramite
documenti ufficilai e report
Il concetto di Openess nella Pubblica Aministrazione non è una novità,
soprattutto in relazione ai temi della trasparenza e dell’efficenza
Nei primi anni 2000, il Government 2.0 e le relative iniziative di "e-
Government" hanno cercato di sfruttare maggiormente l’IT per favorire
l’accesso alle informazioni
Le Pubbliche Amministrazioni stanno facendo progressi nel
fornire in modo aperto il loro patrimonio informativo, tuttavia la
natura dinamica dei dati, il crescere delle fonti e il differenziarsi
della natura, rendono lungo questo percorso evolutivo
Le decisioni relative agli Open Data dovranno essere più
“smart”, frutto di una definizione collaborativa di obiettivi comuni

Gli Open Government Data
Il processo di coinvolgimento dei cittadini è un
percorso fatto di atti di trasparenza, collaborazione e
partecipazione affinchè, avendo un accesso aperto
ai dati, i cittadini possano ispirare l'innovazione
necessaria alla Pubblica Amministrazione
L’ “Opening up” contribuisce a creare le condizioni per
l’integrazione delle istituzioni pubbliche nell’ecosistema così da
evolvere verso e sostenere un concetto di “government-as-platform”
Cittadino
Le imprese possono giocare un ruolo importante
come fattore abilitante sia in termini di infrastruttura
che di individuazione di forme di
commercializzazione/monetizzazione dei dati
Imprese
Definire e misurare la “Openness” sviluppa la consapevolezza
necessaria a disegnare un percorso vincente e sostenibile sia in
termini di disponibilità che di fruibilità delle informazioni
Capitalizzare su la “Openness” in modo da utilizzare al meglio la
potenza delle masse all'interno e all'esterno del governo,
analizzando l’utilizzo delle informazioni e misurando gli impatti, i
benefici e il progresso generato

Open Data for innovative communities: Dublinked
https://www-304.ibm.com/connections/blogs/ibmireland/entry/innovative_new_data_sharing_network_to_create_commercial_opportunities1
A city intelligence platform sharing
information between Dublin’s local
authorities, Universities and major
businesses.
Launched in October 2011 with over
3,000 individual data sets across
environment, planning, water and
transport.
The purpose of the partnership is to
exploit the intelligence platform to
transform city systems and stimulate
the creation and growth of high-value
businesses with international markets.
10’s of applications have been
implemented from the Open Data
platform resulting in the first new
businesses backed by VC with global
markets
The partnership has generated specific
business cases for Dublin to invest in
transformations of city systems with
proven social, economic and
environmental benefits.
"The amount of public information produced by us
and other public service providers is breathtaking,
but can be difficult to assimilate. In creating
Dublinked we are calling on the expertise within all
sectors to help develop solutions to regional
challenges and avail of opportunities to test those
solutions in our City, towns and neighbourhoods."
John Tierney
Dublin City Manager, speaking on behalf of the four Dublin Local
Authorities

Open Data creating change: Helsinki
The IBM Smarter City Challenge
http://www-05.ibm.com/fi/ibm/wdc2012/pdf/IBM_SCC_Helsinki__English.pdf
A team of six IBM experts worked for 3 weeks to
deliver recommendations on visualizing open data
to Mayor Jussi Pajunen and city stakeholders.
The challenge addressed the challenge of making
digital data from the city’s open data initiative
accessible and useful to citizens through engaging
visualizations to support the World Design Capital
event in Helsinki in 2012.
The IBM team developed recommendations for:
Defining a vision for the future based on
citizen engagement through visualization of
open data
Defining the components necessary to grow
a sustainable, repeatable platform, process
and ecosystem to leverage the principles of
open data, and turn data into information, into
action and into change.
The City have announced that it plans to adopt the
recommendations made in the Challenge report.
