Esperienze di open data e open government nella prospettiva del Fraunhofer In...Open_data_emilia_romagna
L’innovazione tecnologica fa sì che i metodi di lavoro e le aspettative della società stiano cambiando. Questi mutamenti sono inoltre rilevanti per l'evoluzione del sistema politico-amministrativo, un processo che, per altro, è quotidianamente sotto gli occhi di tutti. Gli studi mostrano come molte pratiche amministrative e di governo siano percepite dai cittadini come non abbastanza trasparenti. In un contesto di politiche pubbliche, questa richiesta di apertura (‘openness’) si colloca all’interno del più ampio concetto di governo aperto (‘open government’). Ad esso si collegano vari aspetti, come la trasparenza, attraverso il rilascio di dati in formato aperto (‘open data’), la partecipazione realizzata grazie all’uso delle moderne tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione (ICT) e azioni collaborative di co-progettazione. L’intervento vuole concentrarsi sugli open data intesi come uno degli elementi per raggiungere la trasparenza. Per farlo si procederà ad una introduzione sul ruolo degli open data in una smart city descrivendo il processo di apertura delle informazioni e le piattaforme open data, prendendo come esempio la città di Berlino. Nella presentazione di Lena Sophie Mueller, Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication System (FOKUS) di Berlino, inoltre, si descrive lo stato dell’arte sui dati aperti in Germania, analizzando l’attuale piattaforma open government tedesca.

Cloud Interoperability Infrastructures for Governments: The Government Servic...Yannis Charalabidis
Currently, public services are neither user-driven, nor sufficiently sophisticated to support seamless, real-time collaboration between the service consumers and the service providers. They are provided in a rigid, linear manner, without taking into consideration the individual characteristics and needs of each beneficiary. Such traditional public services have not delivered their promised added value or lived up to the expectations of citizens and enterprises for actual cost-effective, one stop-shop provisions.
A Government Service Utility (GSU), or an Interoperability Service Utility (ISU) operating in the Public sector, is a vision of the Internet of the Future, where public organisations, citizens, enterprises and non-profit organizations can collaboratively shape public services at design-time and runtime, in order to be delivered as a utility-like offering at their own ends, to the channels they prefer and in the context and situation they are. As public services increasingly bridge real with virtual life, new value proposition models embracing the Utility Concept shall emerge, enabling a win-win collaboration among many of the stakeholders. Several models of operation of the ISU within the public sector are presented, allowing for the introduction of shared infrastructures in different levels of engagement. The roles that different ISU implementations can play in digital public service creation and provision are contemplated with relevant business models, prescribing little, significant or full outsourcing of operations from the public sector towards private enterprises of all sizes

This report is the second on the IntelCities Community of Practice (CoP) and outlines the integrated - innovation seeking and knowledge creating - model of eGov services developed under the shared enterprise of the organisation’s capacity-building activities, co-design actions, monitoring and evaluation exercises. This offers a synopsis of the information technology (IT) adopted by the IntelCities CoP to develop the organisation’s e-learning platform, Knowledge Management System and digital library as a set of semantically-interoperable eGov services supporting the crime, safety and security initiatives of socially-inclusive and participatory urban regeneration programmes.
Enhancing Academic Event Participation with Context-aware and Social Recommen...Dejan Kovachev
The plethora of talks and presentations taking place at academic conferences makes it difficult, especially for young researchers to attend the
right talks or discuss with participants and potential collaborators with similar interests. Participants may not have a priori knowledge that allows
them to select the right talks or informal interactions with other participants. In this paper we present the context-aware mobile
recommendation services (CAMRS) based on the current context (whereabouts at the venue, popularity and activities of talks and presentations)
sensed at the conference venue. Additionally, we augment the current context with the academic community context of conference participants
which is inferred by using social network analysis and link prediction on large-scale co-authorship and citation networks of participants. By
combining the dynamic and social context of participants, we are able to recommend talks and people that may be interesting to a particular
participant. We evaluated CAMRS using data from two large digital libraries - the DBLP and CiteSeerX, and participants from two conferences -
ICWL 2010 and EC-TEL 2011. The result shows that the new approach can recommend novel talks and helps participants in establishing new
connections at conference venue.
This is a lecture I gave in Thapar University in Patiala, India on Entrepreneuship. I try to demistify the terms of scalability, explain why you can become extremely rich by running a business on intangible products and services. Also I try to dive into understanding hw to develop new ideas for startups. Enjoy !

After analysing the key AI technologies that can be applied in the public sector, the course gives an overview of potential applications (e.g. chatbots, intelligent agents, decision making algorithms, machine learning systems, etc) in various European countries and sectors of the economy. Furthermore, the aims, the benefits and the possible challenges and risks of such applications are being presented, together with the means for risk mitigation. The course also presents the main initiatives for promoting , monitoring and regulating the use of artificial intelligence in the public sector, in Europe and the world.
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.

7. ON OPEN DATA
Open data is the idea that certain data should be
freely available to everyone to use and republish as
they wish, without restrictions from copyright,patents or
other mechanisms of control. The goals of the open
data movement are similar to those of other "Open"
movements such as open source,open content,
and open access … (wikipedia)
8. Why is Open Data important ?
Organises public knowledge
Leads to better, new services
Fights against corruption
Supports transparency
Can motivate citizens
Can contribute to better democracy
Gives data to other sciences
Gives ideas for start-ups
9. Can you give us some good examples

15. Challenges for Open Data Platforms
Metadata schemas “2.0”: automated filling & self
classification, multiple levels of abstraction for
different user groups
Develop auto-calculating new, metrics for open
datasets: semantic closeness / distance, linking
possibility, data quality will allow for
automatically linking open data (A-LOD)
Full API and SaaS operation: automated input
and publication of open data “from the source”
Novel ways of visualisation for open / linked
data
Build ecosystems around open data, for sharing
and usage that can make our lives better, for
16. ON METADATA as it is used for two
The term metadata is ambiguous,
fundamentally different concepts (types). Although the
expression "data about data" is often used, it does not apply
to both in the same way. Structural metadata, the design
and specification of data structures, cannot be about data,
because at design time the application contains no data. In
this case the correct description would be "data about the
containers of data". Descriptive metadata, on the other
hand, is about individual instances of application data, the
data content.
17. Metadata provides the means for discovery of relevant
datasets
Metadata provides the context for understanding the
dataset
Metadata provides the restrictions on use of the dataset:
rights, possibly costs
Metadata provides the access to the dataset
Metadata can assist in the further processing of the
dataset(s) by providing information on data syntax (type,
structure) and semantics (meaning)
Metadata can record provenance (what has been done to
the dataset)
Metadata can record information for digital preservation to
assure the future existence of the dataset
Metadata can record user reaction to datasets: quality,
18. Conventional metadata for PSI (data.gov.xx)
is:
• Flat (lacking structure)
• Inadequate for describing the context of the
dataset
• Inadequate for software processing of the
dataset
• Inadequate for scientific use of open data
• Inadequate for automating linking
• Inadequate for automating visualisation
• But ... suitable for initial discovery
19. • In ENGAGE we shall provide:
• Much more detailed metadata
• With formal syntax (structure) and declared semantics
(meaning)
• From the world of research information
• Congruent with the EC e-infrastructure and associated
projects
• Within an architecture allowing the end-user to
• Use conventional PSI browsing and query
• Semantic web / linked open data /Simple metadata
• Access to datasets and limited processing / visualisation
• Or use information system query, reporting, analysis,
visualisation, simulation
• Rich metadata / Full range of relational processing
20. We will try in the next slides to show you what
is the level of expectation from metadata
handling from a 2nd generation open data
system
21. Imagine you are in front of the ENGAGE
system, and you have your URI from a
dataset, somewhere in the cloud,
(copied as string in the clipboard)
And begin …
23. (then for 30 seconds you see this

24. (When finishing import, the report)
Report
ENGAGE managed to automatically, provisionally fill in ( 21 ) of 43
metadata attributes for your dataset.
Your current validity is at ( 45% )
For your dataset to be inserted in the database, you need to continue
filling in ( 5 ) mandatory attributes.
Your dataset will then be inserted with validity ( 55% )
If all ( 17 ) non-mandatory attributes are filled in, validity will be
maximum, at 70% / limit of the insertion phase.
Please select next action: Continue Park
25. After import …
… and then, we enter the metadata
insertion page with pre-filled data, etc.
When we finish, we get a similar final
report.
When all metadata fields are filled-
in, we can ask all types of queries for
open data, at an international scale
26. Open data, collaborative governance and ICT will be
key pillars of the new, value-based administration in
this century
Open data and applications can play an important role
for entrepreneurship and development
European Union member states, having already
adopted a collaborative governance example, can now
partner and work together with Gov 2.0 initiatives
internationally
In the Greek Interoperability Centre and the University
of AEGEAN we can leverage on European
experiences and best practices, delivering them
worldwide
27. ON COLLABORATIVE
GOVERNANCE
Collaborative governance is a process and a form
of governance in which participants (parties, agencies,
stakeholders) representing different interests are
collectively empowered to make a policy decision or
make recommendations to a final decision-maker who
will not substantially change consensus
recommendations from the group
28. The Problem: Gap between
Society and Governance
Society: increasingly Governance: often
interconnected, silos-based, linear,
flexible, fast-evolving, obscure, hierarchical,
unpredictable over-simplified
Policies, Disciplines
and Actors are
isolated
Policies Health R&D Social
Disciplines Economics Mathematics ICT
Actors Government Citizens Industry

governments
Societal Simulation, Data and Opinion Mining,
Service Co-creation will be the next “big things”
for governments that wish to make a difference
We need to go beyond pure ICT approaches and
embark in a multi-disciplinary journey. That’s
why we need a science base for ICT-enabled
Governance
But most importantly …
36. eGovernance Research is about our
children’s future:
It is not enough to “do the things right”
… we have to “do the right things”
