Government Data Exchange and Open Government Data PlatformAnveshi Gutta
Governments worldwide have heaps and heaps of data that is
accumulated every minute across different domains - transport,
traffic, public safety, weather, utilities, urban development et al.
This data is growing at a rapid rate as
Governments launch new services and attempt to drive more
inclusiveness for the existing services.
At the same time, Government agencies have been guilty of
working in silos and having very limited cross-agency visibility
and coordination. This observation magnifies itself in the
Emerging markets. In most cases, it is the citizen who bears
the brunt due to an absolute lack of citizen-centricity.
This presentation was delivered at Open Group Conference as an attempt to provide guidance on how governments can adopt a transformation journey that drives value generation from the data that has always been there.
Open Government Data Ecosystems: Linking Transparency for Innovation with Tra...Luigi Reggi
Presentation at IFIP EGOV 2016 Conference. September 5, 2016.
Abstract. The rhetoric of open government data (OGD) promises that data transparency will lead to multiple public benefits: economic and social innovation, civic participation, public-private collaboration, and public accountability. In reality much less has been accomplished in practice than advocates have hoped. OGD research to address this gap tends to fall into two streams – one that focuses on data publication and re-use for purposes of innovation, and one that views publication as a stimulus for civic participation and government accountability - with little attention to whether or how these two views interact. In this paper we use an ecosystem perspective to explore this question. Through an exploratory case study we show how two related cycles of influences can flow from open data publication. The first addresses transparency for innovation goals, the second addresses larger issues of data use for public engagement and greater government accountability. Together they help explain the potential and also the barriers to reaching both kinds of goals.

Africa Information Highway Live Exchange #Session 7
8 October 2021
The AIH Live Exchange between the Africa Information Highway Team, partners and countries is a free monthly webinar hosted by the African Development Bank to discuss topics related to government data and statistics. This webinar series is the main platform for countries to share their experiences and best practices around open data including using their Open Data Platform of the AIH.
This session is co-organized with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) which is a mission-driven Research and Technology Organization (RTO) that develops advanced technologies and delivers innovative products and services to industry and society. These innovations can also be used to solve several societal challenges, particularly in the areas of the environment, security, education and culture, sustainable development, as well as the efficient use of resources.
Official statistical data are recognized as high-value datasets for the society and economy, to enrich research, inform decision making or develop new products and services. The use of these authoritative data sources contributes to building a society with more empowered people, better policies, more effective and accountable decision-making, greater participation and stronger democratic mechanisms.
Official statistics are produced to be used and re-used to make an impact on society through a higher degree of openness and transparency while ensuring confidentiality and, at the same time, providing equal access to information to citizens.
The value of data lies in its use and re-use. In this interactive webinar, you will learn new techniques to improve the use and re-use of your statistical data, going beyond the provision logic and adopting the ecosystem mindset. You will:
● Sharpen your capacity at identifying and engaging users and re-users and stakeholders (data ecosystem mapping)?
● Effectively tackle technical and organizational barriers to stimulate data use and re-use?
● Smartly orchestrate a self-sustainable data ecosystem to increase the impact of statistical data.
This session is an opportunity for Regional members countries to '' Sharpen their skills in making data used and re-used by developing an ecosystem mindset to effectively build sustainable community of users around their Open Data Platform thus promoting transparency and better decision-making”

The data-driven economy promises the creation of enormous amounts of economic activity and growth opportunities. However these projections lie to a large extent in the development of new services. Currently, the results in terms of service creation remain below the expectations of open data promoters. Indeed most services created are not sustainable and / or do not use the variety of datasets. They are to a wide extent relying on a limited number of very popular datasets. To increase the reuse and the value extracted by services from data, our hypothesis is that service innovation approaches can help understand the mechanisms that drive the creation of services. We therefore propose a review the current approaches to encouraging the creation of services based on data, an analysis of the creation of services from two open data platforms, in the UK and in Singapore, and a description of the roles that the data can have in the design of services based on a theoretical framework of service innovation.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Greater publication of machine-readable data,
less use of restrictive access and greater
interoperability among MIS systems are
essential.
• Release “data down payment” of high-
value data
• Schedule release of high-value datasets
(e.g., linked to EDPRS2)
• Ministries inventory their key datasets
• Organize inter-agency group to
recommend (a) use of a shared GIS
platform or (b) requirement of Open
Data + APIs for all GIS systems at
agencies
• Development of Open Data portal

Stronger evidence of data demand by civil
society and media, more automated (less ad
hoc) data sharing by agencies, and more public
release of data requested are crucial
• Targeted capacity building & outreach
activities for infomediaries
• Continuous data demand assessment

Growth of data journalism, more mobile apps
production and engagement by ministries in
co-creation are key
• Using available or early release data,
organize Apps Challenge/hackathons
• Design thinking exercises and
development of initial sectoral
dashboards using Open Data

Rwanda’s ICT infrastructure is robust, but
decisions on funding and technical/
management team for Open Data is also
required
• Confirm initial “quick start” activities
for Open Data and their expected
budgets
• Confirm funding sources for “quick
start” Open Data activities
• Confirm funding for small Open Data
team (2-3 staff full-time)
• Identify funding for 1st hackathon
focused on Open Data
• Identify funding for modest Apps
Innovation fund

adequate for Open Data initiative
• Data skills training for senior officials
and district officials
• Data analytics training for data
managers + researchers
• Develop training module(s) for
specialized skills (emphasize mobile)
