Architecting a country: how Estonia built its e-government successAndres Kütt
This document discusses architecting a country's e-government systems and presents Estonia's approach. It introduces fundamental concepts for technical architectures and provides background on Estonia. The document proposes a meta-architecture framework with layers for electronic identity, delivery channels, integration, and infrastructure. Questions are posed for each layer to guide technical decisions. The framework is then applied to describe Estonia's technical architecture, focusing on its distributed but interconnected layers built around electronic IDs, web and mobile delivery, a service bus for integration, and consolidated but dispersed infrastructure.
The document discusses how the digital divide impacts social capital, human capital, and knowledge capital. It states that the digital divide reduces access to information and social connections online, negatively impacting social capital. It also claims that a lack of access to digital resources prevents some groups from gaining important skills, reducing their human capital. Finally, it suggests that investing in internet access, implementing digital laws, exposing students to technology, and using technology in schools and businesses can help address issues caused by the digital divide.
Digital government depends on trust between parties, which can be enabled through cryptography and identification mechanisms. However, cryptography must itself be trustworthy to establish trust, as technology is difficult to control and math implementations get weaker over time. Trust is also fragile and important for digital ecosystems that span borders. To fully realize digital government's benefits, systems must balance tactical gains with strategic consequences like maintaining long-term trust.
This deck presents a range of models for thinking about digital government and its structure. The models stem from the fields of management, system dynamics and enterprise architecture and are applied in a governmental context

This document discusses the challenges facing the ICT profession in Europe, including a poor public perception of ICT careers, an insufficient number of people entering ICT education and careers, and a disturbing rate of ICT project failures. It notes that if steps are not taken to mature the ICT profession, the risks of these failures could grow to unacceptable levels. The document then provides data on ICT employment trends in Europe between 2000-2013, ICT graduates, and the potential ICT jobs and demand gap between 2013-2020. It outlines Europe's framework for ICT professionalism, including the European e-Competence Framework, ICT job profiles, and quality labels for ICT training.
This document compares e-governance efforts in Sri Lanka and Nepal. It provides details on Sri Lanka's launch of its e-Sri Lanka initiative in 2002 and its goals to achieve e-governance by 2007 using ICT. In contrast, it notes that Nepal ranks low on e-governance indexes and faces significant challenges to implement e-governance, such as low literacy, insufficient infrastructure, limited financial resources and lack of leadership commitment. While both countries have developed plans and policies, Nepal continues to struggle with implementing e-governance services due to these barriers.
Liana Meadon presented on critical digital literacies and their importance. Digital literacies involve more than just functional IT skills, instead describing a richer set of digital behaviors, practices, and identities that change over time and contexts. They are a set of academic and professional practices supported by diverse and changing technologies. Critical digital literacies also involve complex cognitive, social, and emotional skills that are context-dependent and learned through apprenticeship to effectively inform.

The Generations of Digital governance : From Paper to RobotsYannis Charalabidis
Digital or Electronic Governance relates to the utilisation of Information and Communication Technologies for achieving better digital services to citizens, enhance transparency and collaboration, and promote evidence-based decision making in the public sector. Along these directions, the talk presents the methods, the tools and the solutions that structure the main generations of Digital Governance. Starting from the introduction of computers in the public sector and reaching the emerging applications of artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies, the talk covers the benefits and the challenges for decision makers, from a technical and administrative viewpoint.
Presentation held by Dr. RAMAZAN ALTINOK HEAD OF E-GOVERNMENT ADVISORY GROUP OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER, TURKEY, within the Regional Workshop on Georgia's anti-corruption and public service delivery reforms (22-24 September 2011).
The document discusses the Sharing Ideas on E-Government (SIEG) initiative, which aims to establish peer-to-peer learning networks among regional countries to share e-government experiences and know-how. The key aspects of SIEG are:
1) Facilitating knowledge transfer between government agencies without any single dominant country.
2) Using a combination of online tools and face-to-face events to create social networks among e-government experts.
3) Focusing initially on neighboring countries where Turkey has offices, then expanding to a total of 12 countries over 5 years.
Project etapas ethical technology adoption in public administration service(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
The document introduces a draft code of conduct produced by the ETAPAS research project to guide public sector organizations on the ethical adoption of disruptive technologies. The code of conduct focuses on principles beyond legal requirements to stimulate discussion on effects of new technologies. It is intended to be used by public sector organizations as a starting point for developing their own more detailed policies on the use of technologies.
Keynote speech – ai as a mean to better inform policy makers true or false(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
This document summarizes a presentation on using AI to better inform policymakers. It discusses how social media is increasingly used to provide feedback on government services and the challenges this data poses. Specifically, it notes that social media data contains both structured and unstructured elements. It also presents two case studies, where AI was used to analyze social media posts about public services. However, the results varied between groups analyzing the same data. This highlights the difficulty in reliably interpreting social media for policymaking. The discussion advocates for more research on building ethical AI solutions and ensuring data analysis results are representative. The next steps focus on developing theories around using AI in government and addressing issues like reliability and data representation.

It discusses what collections have been digitized and are available in full text, improvements made to digital collections, and tools for searching and accessing electronic documents.
Impediments to Interagency Cooperation on Space and Earth Science MissionsArt Charo
The document discusses a study by the National Research Council's Space Studies Board on impediments to interagency collaboration on space and earth science missions. The study examined case studies of different types of collaborations and found that collaborations often result in increased complexity and costs compared to independent projects. The committee's principal recommendation is for agencies to conduct projects independently unless there are compelling reasons like unique capabilities or an intended transition between agencies. If collaboration is pursued, the document recommends specific incentives and support be provided and that key elements like clear decision-making processes be incorporated.
Communication Challenges in Federal TeleworkGov BizCouncil
To better understand federal teleworkers' experience with telework and mobile technologies, Government Business Council and Verizon Wireless undertook an in-depth research study of over 350 federal leaders from over 20 departments and agencies.
The document summarizes the failure of electronic government initiatives to deliver on their promises. It discusses how government agencies failed to cooperate on e-government projects, citizens did not widely adopt electronic services, and the initiatives did not meaningfully increase civic participation. While early efforts conceptualized e-government as a technical problem, the document argues for an "information government" approach that recognizes people and information flows are more important than technology alone.
This document discusses priorities for government CIOs, including expanding citizen services while controlling costs. It also covers the evolution of cloud computing and unified computing models. The document examines survey results on where IT investments can have the greatest impact on government performance and security. Finally, it outlines Cisco's cloud strategy to address customer needs through secure cloud solutions and enabling an open cloud market through technology innovation.
Establishing Inter-operability among Multiple Inter-Organizational Systems fo...AAEC_AFRICAN
This document discusses establishing interoperability among multiple inter-organizational systems for efficient cross-border trade. It notes the emergence of multiple "single windows" and the need for them to interoperate. The document outlines three single window architectures and argues that governments should encourage collaboration between systems through agreements on standards, business processes, data exchange, and more to create an open single window environment.
The document discusses collaboration between public schools and social services to better serve children. It outlines the various divisions within a Department of Social Services, including youth services, family services, and adult services. It also discusses barriers to collaboration like differing roles and responsibilities between schools and social services. The document recommends strategies to improve collaboration, such as open communication and agreeing on common goals. It provides examples of collaborative programs in the region that aim to coordinate services for children and families.
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of interagency collaboration for NASA missions, noting that partnerships can improve capabilities, augment budgets, and foster innovation, but developing and sustaining partnerships can be challenging due to differences in agency cultures and competing resource demands. It provides examples of elements needed for successful partnerships, including clear shared goals, ongoing assessment of progress, and real investment and commitment from both partners.

The document summarizes the results of an eGovernment survey conducted among Austrian municipalities in 2008. Key findings include:
- Municipalities saw a 13% decline in employees since 2002 but no increase in IT staff.
- 87% of municipalities did not plan new e-service projects due to exhaustion or lack of resources.
- Smaller municipalities had a higher ratio of IT staff to overall employees compared to larger cities.
- A mistake in the survey design flawed results about typical internet connection speeds among municipalities.
Semantic challenges in eGovernment InteroperabilityJohann Höchtl
This document discusses how semantic interoperability using OASIS SET TC can improve collaboration between eGovernment applications. It provides background on the Danube University Krems and its work in eGovernment research and education. It outlines the current state of eGovernment, highlighting a lack of consensus on interoperability between systems in different countries and levels of government. Semantic interoperability is needed because applications have different schemas and purposes. The SET TC work could help address interoperability by standardizing how similar entities like personal details are defined across applications. Future projects may apply the SET TC methodology to help systems like electronic document management exchange data automatically.

The document discusses Ukraine's national strategy for electronic identification from 2015-2019. It aims to create infrastructure for citizens to access electronic trust services and information from various sources online with reduced risks. The strategy addresses issues like the lack of a single national ID mechanism and gaps in regulation. It proposes building a national eID infrastructure, increasing interoperability, and encouraging citizens to use electronic trust services. Key goals include increasing the population using eID for e-services to 65% and harmonizing 100% of eID standards. The strategy also discusses the architecture and governance of the envisioned eID system.
The document discusses the e-SENS project, which aims to develop an interoperability layer for public services across Europe to help create a digital single market. It consolidates and improves upon existing projects to develop technical modules for cross-border electronic communication, including e-Documents, e-Delivery, e-ID, e-Signature, and semantics. These solutions will be implemented nationally and tested in real-life situations to establish a common digital infrastructure across borders for use in areas like e-Health, e-Procurement, e-Justice, and business lifecycles. The project benefits citizens and businesses by providing secure, paperless access to public administration services across the EU to save time and money.
The document discusses the EU-supported EGOPRISE project which aims to promote e-government services to improve support for small and medium businesses. The project involves 22 partners from 7 countries and has a budget of 2.5 million euros. It seeks to minimize administrative burdens on businesses by providing important information electronically. Belarus joined the initiative in 2010 to help establish its e-government system and transform public administration to better serve citizens. The project will simplify business registration across borders and help attract employers and employees between countries.
The document discusses smart cities and smart ICT. It describes the Center for E-Governance at Danube University Krems and their research projects related to government processes, stakeholders, and ICT. Their projects include work with the City of Vienna on open government and open data, and with the Austrian Chancellery on e-democracy, open government data standards, and the workplace of the future.
This document discusses a joint initiative between the OECD and EU to establish Digital Transformation Academies for countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The initiative is principally financed by the EU. It provides biographies for two people, Taavi Linnamäe and Liina Notta, who have extensive experience in digital transformation and Estonia's development as a digital society. The agenda outlines plans over the next few days, including entering Estonia to learn about its digital services and societal empowerment through technology.

Transformation of e government to m- government challenges and opportunities...Dr Usman Zafar
This document discusses the transformation from e-government to m-government and the opportunities and challenges it presents. It notes that internet and smartphone usage is growing worldwide. M-government can improve services, participation, and transparency through mobile applications. However, key challenges include ensuring security of data and transactions, reliability of services, accessibility of interfaces, and integration of existing and new services across departments. The UAE is highlighted as pursuing m-government initiatives through its Smart Government strategy and roadmap.
Рынок средств электронной индентификации в Европе: Технологии, инфраструктура...Victor Gridnev
This document summarizes a report on the state of the electronic identity market in Europe. It finds that the eID market is still immature and fragmented, and that eID technologies have not been fully utilized to enable the digital economy or cross-border online services. However, trusted online identity management and authentication are seen as essential for the digital economy. The report recommends further research on interoperable credentials, mobile authentication, and assessing the socioeconomic impacts of eID initiatives to help realize the potential of eID.
Digital governance or e-Governance can be defined as the use of information and communication technology by the government to provide the quality information and services to citizens, businesses, voluntary organizations, and other government agencies in an efficient, cost-effective, and convenient manner and to bring transparency, accountability in government functioning to strengthen democracy.

Ова е презентација од вебинарот: Научете како да ја заштитите приватноста во дигиталниот свет!
Презентер: Елена Трифуновска
Идејата за тоа што е приватност, што е личен податок и нешто кое ни припаѓа само нам е почетна основа за детектирање на можните проблеми со кои може да се соочиме во секојдневното користење на интернетот.
Кои податоци треба да ги третираме како приватни и да не ги споделуваме на интернет? На кого му се достапни нашите лични податоци кои ги користиме на интернет? Како да ги насочиме децата да ги користат придобивките на интернетот и да ги избегнат опасностите со кои може да се соочат?

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
