XML Drafting Discussion - PCC IT Conference 2013Gareth Oakes
This document discusses using XML for legislative drafting. It notes that legislative drafting requires precision and accuracy, but current processes can be costly and slow. XML tagging can make documents "machine friendly" by adding semantics and metadata, allowing automation and improved collaboration. While no single XML standard exists, legislative documents have an intrinsic hierarchical structure that could be represented. XML offers benefits like re-use, reduced costs, and preparing documents for future needs like open data initiatives. Success requires clear goals, a phased implementation plan, and choosing the right technologies and partners to meet objectives.
The document discusses a research project funded by the World Wide Web Foundation and Canada's International Development Research Centre that aims to explore the emerging impacts of open data in developing countries. The project has four main research objectives: to explore how open data improves governance, supports citizens' rights, and promotes inclusive development; to support knowledge sharing and policy learning; to develop methods for assessing open data initiatives over time; and to identify how global open data standards and platforms impact developing countries.

The document summarizes the UK experience with open data and the establishment of data.gov.uk. It discusses the objectives of creating a single portal, establishing public data principles, providing datasets using open standards, and developing an open government license. It also discusses lessons learned, such as using various arguments to promote open data, the need for engagement at multiple levels of government, and continuously engaging with developers to highlight applications. The overall message is that open data, standards, licensing, and engagement can create social and economic value when approached adaptively.
The document discusses data workflows and integrating open data from different sources. It defines a data workflow as a series of well-defined functional units where data is streamed between activities such as extraction, transformation, and delivery. The document outlines key steps in data workflows including extraction, integration, aggregation, and validation. It also discusses challenges around finding rules and ontologies, data quality, and maintaining workflows over time. Finally, it provides examples of data integration systems and relationships between global and source schemas.
This document discusses the implications of open data for teaching and learning. It notes that vast amounts of data are created every day both publicly and within governments. Open data refers to data that is accessible, machine-readable and free to use. Open data can provide new resources for teaching, influence what topics are taught by emphasizing digital literacy, and change academic publishing by making more research openly accessible. Overall, the document argues that Ireland is well-positioned to benefit from open data and should work to publish more public sector data through a central portal using open standards. This could provide economic and civic benefits if used to improve education.

Big Data Meets Open Data: Challenges and Issues presentation of Roger Longhorn, Operations & Communications Manager, GSDI Association, delivered at the Taiwan Open Data Forum, 9 July 2014 in Taipei
This document discusses publishing EPA data as linked open data. It notes that the goal is to make open data, content, and web APIs the new default. Linked data allows data to be connected and treated like web pages. The EPA has published facility and substance data as linked open data and is piloting additional datasets. Publishing linked open data requires identifying relevant datasets, modeling the data, publishing it according to best practices, maintaining scripts to keep data current, and reviewing usage to support users. Recommendations include publishing in reusable formats like RDF, using open rather than proprietary formats, and defining URI strategies without reinventing existing best practices or vocabularies.
This presentation was given by Christian Reimsbach-Kounatze of the OECD at the CERI Conference on Innovation, Governance and Reform in Education on 5 November 2014 during session 6.b: The Role of “Big Data”.
This document discusses open data and its potential economic and social benefits. It provides an agenda for a workshop on open data, including introductions, a video on what open data is, and discussions on how to make open data work and next steps.

Data for Good: How Data is Transforming Business and SocietyJeanne Holm
From high tech to rural Uganda, the data that companies and governments share is being used around the world by all kinds of people to make life better.
The document discusses open satellite data and geospatial information systems (GIS). It notes that satellites gather high-fidelity, real-time data about locations and conditions on Earth, oceans, atmosphere and socioeconomic factors. Examples are given of how such data has been used for applications like analyzing global climate change, earthquake activity, earth and ocean science, helping with disasters through early warnings, and creating a multi-billion dollar weather and GPS industry. The document advocates for open data and citizen science, including crowdsourcing to solve food security challenges and correcting data. It asks what GIS data is needed in Uganda and suggests ways to utilize and explore such open data.
Connections between big data and open data. Includes a case study of Data.gov and the ways that companies, charities, and others are using open data to improve the lives of people around the planet.
Data.gov provides access to over 400,000 datasets from 180 US agencies and organizations in easy to use formats. It encourages developers to build innovative applications using open data and drives knowledge sharing and innovation globally and across 18 communities. Data.gov is migrating its platform to the open source Open Government Platform to improve search capabilities, enable application statistics tracking, and allow federated searching of agency and local government catalogs. The presentation calls for continued collaboration to securely share and link government data and empower communities and businesses to use data to address global issues.
1) The document discusses how open data and interoperability can drive innovation by empowering people and communities through access to government data.
2) Key points include how open data can meet regulatory needs, communicate with citizens, and spur new economic development and innovation.
3) An open data ecosystem is created by gathering and connecting data, infrastructure, developers, and communities to empower choices and change behavior.

38. Creating Community
• Communities are public-facing
spaces that present
data, information, and subject

one place
– The topics for communities can be
chosen based on priorities from the
public, departments based on their
mission, or issues of national
importance

6. Content: What content should be displayed
7. Interactivity: What ways will the community interact with the
leaders, with each other, and with the public?
