Impacts of Open Data Standards on Transparency Tools - Khairil Yusof (Sinar P...mysociety
This was presented by Khairil Yusof (Sinar Project) and Soe Lin Htoot (Myanmar Fifth Estate), at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC@Taipei) in Taipei on 12th September 2017. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://civictechfest.org/agenda
Abstract:
Most Open Data initiatives assume the provision of data by governments which will then be picked up and used by a variety of sectors for the good of all.
But for countries with opaque governments, or whose NGOs lack technical capacity, the promises of Open Data will fall far short of the reality.
This active research shows how adopting Open Data standards for government data helps civil society organizations collaborate in building usable Open Data sets for transparency, governance — and tools that increase participation by citizens.
And for those in places where government do not reliably release Open Data, discover how to source unstructured data by other means. Finally, Khairil discusses the contrasting impacts and uses of this approach in the two different environments of Malaysia and Myanmar.
OGPL is a joint product from India and United States to promote transparency and greater citizen engagement by making more government data, documents, tools and processes publicly available.
Accountability Initiative is holding a bar-camp on June 5-6. This bar camp would focus on accountability issues in India. This presentation is being made to facilitate ideas on what can be done in India.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
