Government as a platform - A historical and architectural analysisFrancis D'Silva
We frame our study with two perspectives; a historical institutional perspective that traces the roots of Altinn back to the Middle Ages, and an architectural perspective that allows for a more detailed analysis of the consequences of digitalization and the role of platforms. We offer two insights from our study: we identify three evolutionary mechanisms of national registers, and we discuss a future scenario of government platforms as “digital commons”

Canada’s Information Commissioners have adopted a resolution toward Open Government and part of the open government process is open access to public administrative, census, map and research data. A number of Canadian Cities, innovative government programs such as GeoConnections, forward thinking research funding such as International Polar Year have become OpenData cities, implemented data sharing infrastructures and fund data sharing science. Access to data are one part of the open government conversation, and it is argued that opendata bring us closer to more informed democratic deliberations on public policy.

Open data portals have been a primary source for publishing datasets from various sectors of administration, all over the world. However, making open data available does not necessarily lead to better utilisation from citizens and businesses. Our paper presents a new framework and a prototype system for supporting open application development by citizen communities, through gathering and making available open data and open web services sources from governmental actors, combined with an application development environment, training material and application examples.

e-Governance Implementation In Ebonyi State Nigeria: Challenges and ProspectsEditor IJCATR
The deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in different facets of the world’s economy has yielded very reasonable results. ICT has blured the barriers of hinderances in tourism, trade, healthcare, education and training. In governance and administration, ICT applications have enhanced the delivery of public services to citizens and clients not only by improving the process and management of government, but also by redefining the traditional concepts of citizenship. This paper examined the challenges facing the implementation of e-Governance in Ebonyi State – Nigeria and highlights the prospects. The research used a primary source of data by distributing, collecting and analysing a total of 500 questionnaires administered to respondents in the research area (Ebonyi State). The research found that the most difficult challenges facing the deployment of e-governance in Ebonyi State were lack of steady power supply, poor communication infrastructure and high cost of computer and internet equipments. The survey also revealed that the use of e-governance would bring improved efficiency in government operations without necessarily increasing the cost of state governance. e-Governance would strengthen democratic principles and ideologies which inturn brings good governance to the people.

The presentation analyses the open data movement across the world and in India. The current experiments in benchmarking open data initiatives are also briefly mentioned.
Disclosure of information about government actions and spending puts government and public officials under the constant watch of the public, allowing them to track what resources are spent, who contracts are awarded to and so on.
When designing proactive disclosure systems or voluntary disclosure has five principles governments should follow. Information needs to be: available, findable, comprehensible, low cost or free, up-to-date and relevant.

#opendata: Una oportunidad en el ecosistema público privado Open Data @ CTIC
Open Data es una oportunidad para (1) la administración publica, que necesita pensar en si misma como una plataforma de prestación de servicios. (2) Para el ciudadano y para la empresa y la emprendeduria. Es el aliciente para el nuevo ecosistema publico privado por el valor colectivo que aporta.
Los datos pueden ser usados mas efectivamente para crear mejores y mas baratos servicios públicos.
Las mejores ideas para crear servicios útiles para la ciudadanía vendrán de fuera de la administración porque a pesar de las iniciativas de modernización administrativa emprendidas, la administración sigue orientada entorno al procedimiento administrativo y no a la prestación de servicios centrados en las necesidades de la ciudadanía.
un vistazo a la interación ciudadanía-gobierno, cómo está cambiando, el papel esencial que la apertura de datos juega y algunas pautas para hacerlo bien
Not intended as a talk but as a tale, this is a visual journey to the center of government and how government infrastructures keep data away from their real owners: the people, and how to overcome the current situation and empower them.

Los organismos públicos y las administraciones publican cada día más datos en la Web. Compartir estos datos facilita lograr una mayor transparencia, permite ofrecer un mejor servicio público, y fomenta un mayor uso y reutilización tanto pública como comercial de los mismos. Algunas administraciones incluso han creado catálogos o portales que los datos sean más fáciles de encontrar y utilizar. Aunque las razones varían de caso en caso, la problemática y logística de publicar dichos datos es la misma.
Para ayudar a las administraciones a abrir y compartir sus datos, el Grupo de Interés sobre eGovernment en W3C ha desarrollado un conjunto de pautas. Estos sencillos pasos enfatizan estándares y métodos que fomentan la publicación de datos del sector público, permitiendo su reutilización de maneras nuevas e innovadoras.
Esta ponencia repasará las pautas anteriormente mencionadas y los modos de publicar datos del sector público, poniendo el énfasis en el mejor método existente: Linked Government Data, así como mostrará casos y aplicaciones reales de la aplicación de dichos métodos en proyectos desarrollados por la Fundación CTIC para diversas administraciones, así como de otras partes del mundo.
¿Por qué los servicios electrónicos se usan tan poco? cómo hacer frente a la ...Open Data @ CTIC
En el actual panorama nacional e internacional de administración electrónica el impulso de los servicios electrónicos se ha realizado en base a una premisa: incrementar el número de servicios electrónicos online con el mayor grado de sofisticación posible. Pero esta premisa no ha dado el rendimiento esperado. A pesar de que varias administraciones ya superan los mil servicios online con el máximo grado de sofisticación, el uso de los mismos es bajo y, en algunos casos, preocupantemente bajo. ¿Cuáles son las causas? ¿Cómo hacerles frente? ¿Cómo optimizar la inversión en servicios electrónicos, aumentar el rendimiento y el número de usuarios? En esta ponencia, José Manuel Alonso hace un breve repaso al panorama actual, a las contradictorias asunciones, y da algunas recetas sobre como optimizar las inversiones, reducir los costes y maximizar el impacto de los servicios públicos.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
