Delivered this presentation on how to develop an Open Data Policy. This presentation overviews how the City of Houston approached the creation of an Open Data Policy, what elements were incorporated into the policy, and the challenges encountered from development to implementation. To ensure that an open data initiative achieves the best results for a government organization and its constituents, a well crafted Open Data Policy is needed to direct strategy and mitigate risk for the organization.

SGCI Science Gateways: Addressing Data Management ChallengesSandra Gesing
Data management challenges include:
* Meaningful data aggregation and analysis
* Real-time analytics
* Privacy and security demands
* Lack of usability of solutions
* Missing integration of data sources and instruments
* Complicated US and European privacy laws on health data
* Diversity of stakeholders
Science gateways can address the first five challenges, can
assist with data and measures for easing policies on health data and support diverse user roles via easy-to-use end-to-end solutions.
This presentation was provided by Timothy Cherubini of The Chief Officers of State Library Agencies (COSLA), and Kurt Kiefer of The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction during the 13th Annual NISO-BISG forum "Interoperability: From Silos to An Ecosystem," held on June 24, 2020.
Open Data: Barriers, Risks, and OpportunitiesSlim Turki, Dr.
Despite the development of Open Data platforms, the wider deployment of Open Data still faces significant barriers. It requires identifying the obstacles that have prevented e-government bodies either from implementing an Open Data strategy or from ensuring its sustainability.
This paper presents the results of a study carried out between June and November 2012, in which we analyzed three cases of Open Data development through their platforms, in a medium size city (Rennes, France), a large city (Berlin, Germany), and at national level (UK). It aims to draw a clear typology of challenges, risks, limitations and barriers related to Open Data. Indeed the issues and constraints faced by re-users of public data differ from the ones encountered by the public data providers. Through the analysis of the experiences in opening data, we attempt to identify how barriers were overcome and how risks were managed. Beyond passionate debates in favor or against Open Data, we propose to consider the development of an Open Data initiative in terms of risks, contingency actions, and expected opportunities. We therefore present in this paper the risks to Open Data organized in 7 categories: (1) governance, (2) economic issues, (3) licenses and legal frameworks, (4) data characteristics, (5) metadata, (6) access, and (7) skills.

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.
Impact of DDOD on Data Quality - White House 2016David Portnoy
"The Impact of Demand-Driven Open Data (DDOD) on Data Quality" was presented on April 27, 2016 at Open Data Roundtable held at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
It discusses the data quality problems prevalent in open data and their impact, the origins of the DDOD concept, how it works, progress towards its goals, several use case examples, and how to implement it at other organizations.

ZGB - The Role of Generative AI in Government transformation.pdfSaeed Al Dhaheri
This keynote was presented during the the 7th edition of the UAE Hackathon 2024. It highlights the role of AI and Generative AI in addressing government transformation to achieve zero government bureaucracy
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

1. Increase number and timeliness of datasets on Data
Portal
227 datasets only a handful are set to automatically
refresh
2. Improve the usability, quality and consistency of our
data
Ensure datasets aren’t just data dumps; provide
meaningful data
3. Support increased use of data in decision-making
Doing more with less by looking at the data
4. Identify and foster innovations in open data and data
use
