Open data
This document discusses open data and issues around data sovereignty. It notes that open data is data that can be freely used and shared, subject to attribution. However, it also discusses problems that can arise from open data, such as inaccurate or flawed data being open, and marginalized groups having their data "colonized" and used against them. It advocates analyzing open data issues through a power differential lens, with those in power being more open and those without power having more control over their own data. The document also lists some organizations working on data sovereignty and indigenous data governance.
English 2.8 presentation
The document discusses information literacy skills, which include the ability to recognize when information is needed and locate, evaluate, and effectively use needed information. It outlines the research process and key steps, such as defining the task, seeking information from various sources, evaluating those sources, synthesizing information from multiple sources, and assessing the overall process and results. Various techniques are presented for effectively searching for information, evaluating sources, avoiding plagiarism, and citing references. The overall skills discussed empower users to make well-informed decisions and complete research tasks confidently.

Daniel's blizzard project
A blizzard is a severe snowstorm with winds over 35 mph, heavy snowfall, and visibility under 1/4 mile for over 3 hours. Blizzards are dangerous due to whiteout conditions making driving and walking impossible. High winds and cold temperatures can cause frostbite or hypothermia very quickly. The 1888 Great Blizzard was one of the worst, dropping 40-50 inches of snow along the East Coast and causing over 400 deaths.

Open Data: How it is leading
The document summarizes the history of population censuses in Nepal, beginning with early counts of households prior to the 19th century. It then discusses how early population estimates were made and challenges in collecting data at that time. It provides examples of early census methods from the UK and US, and how technology has advanced census taking over time. Finally, it defines open data and discusses why opening government and other data is important for innovation, efficiency and transparency.
Grassroots awareness and the impact of Civic Tech in Nepal
Nepal made a significant improvement in the field of Openness, especially in Open Data. The government showed some commitment by starting a discussion and made some notable decision to promote the culture of collaboration. This was made possible because of the active participation of CSOs and grassroots awareness. Civic technology has been the backbone, projects like Open Data Nepal, AskNepal etc are making an impact. In the session, I will share how we can run the grassroots awareness to create an inclusive ecosystem and use civic technology to develop reliable products.

On intro presentation - Victoia Room
This document discusses Open Nepal, an initiative to promote open data and its use for development in Nepal. It is a collaborative platform involving intermediaries and data users to make data more accessible and help with analysis. The National Federation of NGOs in Nepal (NFN) and Freedom Forum are two organizations supporting Open Nepal. NFN aims to establish a database of NGOs on the portal to promote transparency. Freedom Forum works on issues like democracy and human rights and wants to contribute to Open Nepal to increase aid transparency in Nepal. Both organizations will build capacity of journalists, NGOs and other intermediaries on accessing, analyzing and using aid and budget data.
Understanding Open knowledge
Open knowledge refers to content that is freely available for people to use, modify, and share. It contributes to universal access to information and freedom of information exchange. The document discusses several key aspects of open knowledge, including its definition in relation to open source, the types of knowledge, and factors that contribute to open knowledge such as open educational resources, open access, citizen journalism, and open licensing and copyright policies.

OER16 - Skills not Silos - Open Data as OER
Open Data is produced and used at various levels in research, governance, policy making and civil society. So far though, conversation around its value and significance has tended to occur within an Open Data silo, existing in parallel with other open discussions around Open Educational Resources and Open Access. In our presentation we explore practices which make use of Open Data as OER, with a focus on the the opportunities and challenges inherent in this approach.
For the OECD, “All citizens should have equal opportunities and multiple channels to access information, be consulted and participate. Every reasonable effort should be made to engage with as wide a variety of people as possible.” A central challenge in higher education is to develop skills useful not only at subject/professional level, but which also engage students with real-word problems. The skills needed to participate in democratic discussions can be understood as transversal skills, defined by UNESCO (2015) as “Critical and innovative thinking, inter-personal skills; intra personal skills, and global citizenship”. If one of our goals as educators is to develop these transversal skills in students, towards enabling them to function as citizens, to actively participate in the discourse and debates of society, then we propose that Open Data can play a key role.
Open Data has been understood as key to research, policy and governance development, and also heralded as a force for democratic discourse and participation, but in our view, this is not achieved by opening data alone. By using Open Data in research- and scenario- based learning activities, educators can enhance the information, digital, statistical and data analysis literacies that can empower students, and ultimately citizens and communities. Such pedagogic activities allow students to learn using the same raw materials researchers and policy- makers produce and use.
Drawing from a series of case studies of the use of Open Data as OER, we suggest educators consider the following elements
Focus: define the research problem and its relation to the environment students.
Practicality: match technical applications and practices to expected solutions.
Expectations: set realistic expectations for data analysis.
Directions: support in finding data portals which contain appropriate information.
Training: provide training materials for the software students will need to analyse the data.
Location: use global, local and scientific data which is as granular as possible.
Modelling: develop model solutions to guide students on the challenges and activities.
Collaboration: support students to work collaboratively and at multidisciplinary level.
Communication: support students in communicating their findings to local or wider communities.
Talk for NextGen October 2013
This document summarizes a presentation about empowering people through open knowledge. It discusses how open data and open knowledge can be used by anyone to solve problems when information is made accessible, understandable and meaningful. Open data comes from many sources like government, companies and individuals and can be in many formats. The Open Knowledge Foundation builds tools to work with information, helps people learn data skills, and connects organizations working on open data projects. Open knowledge empowers people but also requires tools, communities and skills to access and use data effectively. Personal data also generates important open datasets when anonymized and aggregated but personal information requires careful consideration regarding privacy and control.

TraSync Pitch
TraSync is an online booking engine for travel agencies in Nepal that allows customers to book flights, hotels, and transportation directly from travel agency websites. Currently, most travel agency websites only allow inquiries to be submitted, which are then processed manually. This leads to less than 20% of websites generating tourists, with an average of 15 hours needed to process each inquiry. TraSync aims to automate this process, allowing 100% guaranteed services to customers and reducing processing times to zero. The system will first focus on flight bookings before expanding to include hotel and transportation services. TraSync expects to generate $8 million in revenue in its first year after launching the full platform.
When Technology meets Tourism : trasyn.com
Nepal has great potential in tourism due to its natural beauty and cultural values, but it is not effectively promoting itself or providing timely information and responses to tourists. Most tourists only know about Mount Everest and Kathmandu, and find information through outdated travel sites or emails that may not get a response. In comparison, popular tourist destinations like Dubai Mall, Louvre Museum, and San Diego Zoo attract much larger numbers of visitors each year through better online systems. A new platform called Trasyn aims to create an automated online tourism system in Nepal to help book flights, buses, taxis, hotels and plan destinations.
Common Issues found in Government Site
The document discusses common issues with open data in Nepal, specifically budget data from Kathmandu Metropolitan that was published in a PDF file format using a non-Unicode font. This made the data non-editable and difficult to understand. The document proposes using open standards to publish data in open formats like XML, CSV or JSON and in a Unicode font to make the data more accessible and usable. It provides contact information for the Open Knowledge Foundation Nepal to discuss open data issues.
Opportunity and Challenges of Computer Science and Information Technology
The document summarizes some of the challenges and opportunities in computer science and information technology (CSIT) studies based on the experiences of Prakash Neupane. It notes that while the industry demands experience, students need the industry to gain that experience. However, it encourages students to believe in themselves, take responsibility, participate in their environment, and start projects today rather than waiting. It outlines opportunities for students through projects, research, meeting industry demands, further study, and startups. The document concludes by asking for examples of successful people to help motivate students.
Wikipedia Open content Repository
Wikipedia is a free, multi-lingual, online encyclopedia written and edited by volunteers from around the world. It currently has over 30 million articles across 287 languages. Anyone can create or edit articles, subject to certain guidelines, with over 500 million unique visitors per month making it one of the most popular websites globally. The open and collaborative nature of Wikipedia has made it the largest repository of open knowledge content in the world.
Community for Students : Firefox Student Ambassador
The document discusses the Firefox Student Ambassador program. It provides an overview of the program, including its mission to promote Firefox and educate others about Mozilla's mission of an open web. It outlines the responsibilities of student ambassadors such as event speaking, recruiting contributors, and graphic design. Ambassadors receive benefits like leadership experience, networking opportunities, and potential internships. The document provides details on how to get involved, recognition for participation, and office hours for answering questions.
Open GLAM
The document discusses Open GLAM, an initiative promoting open access to cultural heritage held by galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM). It notes that GLAM institutions hold records of human knowledge and the internet allows broader access and participation. Open GLAM principles include releasing metadata and representations of public domain works openly, using open formats, and engaging audiences. The document lists open-source tools developed by Open Knowledge Foundation partners for working with open cultural data, including Textus for collaborating on digitized texts and CrowdCrafting for crowd-sourcing tasks.

Sort filter-visualization Data
Spreadsheets are a basic tool for organizing and analyzing data. They allow users to sort data into logical order, filter out unwanted values, and visualize data through graphs and charts. This helps users gain insights from datasets by orienting themselves to extremes, focusing on relevant values, and understanding trends in a graphical format rather than just numbers. The document demonstrates these spreadsheet functions through examples to show how they are commonly used to wrangle and better understand data.
Open Spending
Open Spending is a project that aims to track all public government and corporate financial transactions around the world and present the data in useful and engaging formats.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
