The document summarizes the state of open data and freedom of information in Bremen, Germany. It finds that while Bremen has made efforts to increase open data and comply with freedom of information laws, there is still an "organization gap" where individual departments may not proactively publish all relevant documents and data. Fully implementing open data principles and complying with overlapping transparency laws would require significant resources for reviewing systems and data. Coordination is also needed to avoid duplicate collection and publication across different legal mandates and platforms.
The document introduces a new metric called Tau to measure the timeliness of data in catalogues. Tau is calculated by comparing the timestamp of when data was last updated versus the current time. The document provides three case studies calculating Tau for different data catalogues, with values ranging from 0.25 to 0.52. It encourages readers to try out Tau themselves and discuss related work, in order to build an evidence base for evaluating open data timeliness.
This document discusses the European Commission's efforts to create a common European data space by combining government, business, and scientific data. It notes that the European Council called for special emphasis on access to, sharing of, and use of data. The document outlines the milestones of EU open data policy from 2003 to 2019 and reviews directives and guidelines around open data and data reuse. It also discusses ongoing work to provide guidance on private sector data sharing between businesses and between businesses and government to support innovation, efficiency, and evidence-based policymaking.
Dutch Minister Schultz van Haegen wants to put the Netherlands on the world map with unmanned trucks. That is good news for the European transport sector. Unfortunately, Europe isn't exactly ready for unmanned trucks.
The current spatial planning is a problem. Platoons of three or four unmanned trucks will soon be transporting large volumes according to a timetable across vast European transport corridors in the TEN-T network. This will demand more horizontal collaboration between companies, with control towers directing the transport flows.
Each of the nodes in the TEN-T network will need to have a large-scale distribution park where shippers and carriers can bundle and unbundle their transport flows. The problem is: there is hardly any room for such large-scale distribution parks.
The unmanned trucks will be driving across borders. Not only the hard technology on board, also the soft information technology for directing transport flows needs to be standardized at the European level. But also: who owns all that big data that the trucks and the local road authorities collect regarding the transport flows? Open data need to be truly open to everyone. The traffic laws and rules of play and the qualifications required of professional drivers in the various European countries need to be synchronized. The borders between countries cannot be borders for transport.
Autonomous driving will fundamentally change the European market for long-distance transport. Logistics service providers will need to adapt their strategy towards operational excellence at the Champions League level in terms of the planning, execution and financing of their European transport networks. They may encounter competition from unexpected sources. What is keeping Scania from organising its own European transport network if drivers are no longer necessary?
Trucks are becoming high-tech command centers. They communicate with traffic managers via intelligent transport systems (ITS) in order to make optimal use of the infrastructure. This means much more responsibility for the highly trained driver – comparable to that of a pilot of a Boeing jet. The sector needs to get started with training the drivers of the future using first-rate driving simulators.
The deployment of unmanned trucks will demand collaboration between carriers and shippers, room for distribution parks in the TEN-T network, open and transparent data, the best drivers and a European policy for road safety. Only then will the logistics sector stand to benefit from this innovation.

The 3-year project, funded by the EU, aims to (1) produce a research roadmap for using big data in transport; (2) involve stakeholders to identify opportunities and barriers; and (3) disseminate findings. It will conduct 7 case studies on topics like rail transport, open data, and logistics. The project aims to enhance sustainability and competitiveness in transport through big data analysis of modes, sectors, technologies, policies, and evaluations. It will provide a framework for a consistent European big data strategy in transport.
Local Open Data. Presentation for Cambridgeshire InsightMark Braggins
The document defines open data as factual information from various organizations that can be used to improve local services, support communities, and economic growth.
1. The public sector cannot create data value chains alone and needs to co-create them with the private sector. Co-creation can augment data quality, combine public and private sector data, and enable new AI services and business models.
2. Case studies of data sharing initiatives showed that without standardization of data models, APIs, and unified access, it is difficult to build applications that can utilize different data sources.
3. Data sharing spaces need to evolve into data ecosystems and platforms with interoperability, common data models, value-added services, and data governance frameworks to fully realize the potential of co-creating data value chains between the public and private sectors.
This document identifies 9 elements for the development of open data marketplaces:
1) Bringing stakeholders together to match supply and demand
2) Providing rich metadata
3) Enabling data quality assessment
4) Ensuring trust, security and critical mass
5) Having an appropriate revenue model
6) Providing use cases, training and support
7) Providing technical support like open data processing tools
8) Providing a full API for machine-to-machine operation
9) Targeting multiple nationalities

The roadmap is coordinated among network stakeholders and involves establishing several lighthouse projects in key application domains like manufacturing, digital humanities, energy, and healthcare.
This document summarizes funding opportunities for ICT projects in the Horizon 2020 framework program for 2014-2015. It outlines calls for big data, open data, and language technologies projects, including innovation actions to develop new solutions, research projects to advance technologies, and coordination actions. The goals are to help companies build innovative data products, address barriers to data reuse, and crack the language barrier in Europe to facilitate multilingual communication.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed 19 parliamentary information visualization (PIV) initiatives. It identified the most common types of parliamentary data visualized and visualization methods used. It then evaluated the initiatives based on criteria for PIV completeness. The study found that maps are most useful for projects involving federal systems. Visualization shaping allows for self-exploration and further insights. Large data sets benefit from detailed analysis and background information to support multiple interpretations. Disclosure of methodology enables further exploration of the data. Initiatives that best exemplified completeness included those from the French National Assembly, French Senate, and Italian Chamber of Deputies. The document concludes continuous effort is needed to improve PIV initiatives and their contribution to open parliament.

The document summarizes Moldova's efforts to implement an open government data initiative. It notes that Moldova launched an open data portal in 2011 that included datasets from several public agencies. It also details some challenges faced, such as data being published in unusable formats by state agencies. The initiative aims to publish high-value datasets each month and involve citizens by holding applications contests. However, improvements are still needed such as adopting open data laws, improving data quality, and providing training.
1. Open data evolution in Amsterdam started in 2010 when hackers and innovators requested the city's first datasets, with nearly 400 datasets now available.
2. Amsterdam has invested heavily in open data, growing its budget from zero euros in 2010 to 1.5 million euros in 2013, and launching an Open Data Program in 2013.
3. Amsterdam has supported open data through three EU projects and has built a strong ecosystem of partners including businesses, hackers, coders, and intermediaries that have helped launch over 30 civic apps using open data.
This document discusses open data initiatives in Amsterdam. It notes that while civil servants understand the importance of open data, many are unsure how to use it or what their role is in delivering open data. It then outlines reasons to promote open data, including economic gains and accountability. It discusses challenges faced by local governments, including legacy ICT focus and lack of understanding of open data. The document highlights open data catalyst projects in Amsterdam, including Code for Europe and Open Cities. It notes Amsterdam's strong open data ecosystem partners and the evolution of open data programs there from 2010 to today. It provides examples of best practices and observations about stimulating local open data programs.

Services to support these efforts are also mentioned.
Data in Switzerland: E-Government CH at OKCon 2013CH_Bundesarchiv
The document discusses Switzerland's strategy for open government data (OGD). It outlines that Switzerland has charged the FITSU agency with developing an OGD strategy by spring 2014, including implementing measures around law, licensing, financing and standardization to introduce OGD. The strategy needs to address launching an effective OGD portal for coordination, how users can access data, what data will be offered, who will finance the OGD offerings, and potential cultural changes around data sharing. The strategy may include principles, shared directions, and a master plan, and could look to other strategies like the cloud strategy for examples. The goal is an effective national strategy to introduce OGD in Switzerland.
The Regional Openness Index of ACTION SEE, targets the countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia, whereas Kosovo was ranked third. This index has an advanced methodology with around 100 indicators per institutions which measures their openness and Open Data.
In the last two measurements it has been identified that officials institutions are not familiar with concept of open data and even with what type of data they own which can be shared for a wider use. A more deeper look will be in connection to the data owned from the institutions and if they are released how it can beneficial to the interested parties. Also how Open Data Kosovo is working towards making governmental data accessible and free of usage.
This document summarizes information about an NGO in the Czech Republic called Naši politici o.s. (Our Politicians). The NGO was established in 2008 with the goal of providing independent and undistorted information about public administration to citizens. It focuses on analyzing links between politicians, lobbyists, and financial flows within public institutions. It also aims to increase transparency around use of public funds and EU structural funds. The NGO operates several websites including nasipolitici.cz, budovanistatu.cz, and fondyeu.eu to aggregate and analyze open data on politicians, public procurements, and EU funds recipients.
BE-GOOD: Building an Ecosystem to Generate Opportunities in Open DataSlim Turki, Dr.
The BE-GOOD project aims to unlock and extract value from public sector information to develop data-driven services for smart cities. It will create an ecosystem toolbox and deliver over 10 data-driven prototypes created by SMEs to address transnational public governance challenges. The project, led by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, has a budget of 6.4 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund and will run from 2016 to 2020. It seeks to create over 15 jobs and deliver tested solutions and validated business cases that generate opportunities from open data.
The document discusses the upcoming European Commission eGovernment Action Plan for 2016-2020. The action plan will focus on three pillars: 1) Digitalizing public administration with ICT, 2) Enabling cross-border mobility with digital public services, and 3) Facilitating participation in policymaking and co-creation of services. It will implement objectives agreed at the EU level and allow citizens to suggest voluntary actions. A stakeholder consultation platform will crowdsource ideas, apply selection criteria, and monitor implementation of actions using data. The overall goal is to modernize public administration and facilitate interaction between governments and citizens/businesses across Europe.

Local transparency and open data can provide significant benefits to local governments and communities. It fosters greater accountability, democracy and engagement through ready access and use of open data. This can innovate and transform local public services, empower citizens and groups, and support economic growth. While the pace of transition varies locally, the overall approach is moving from closed to open by default.
The document proposes a pilot project to implement an electronic legislative consultation system (LACS) in Poland to address the lack of public involvement in developing laws. LACS would allow citizens to participate in online discussions of draft bills on the Public Information Bulletin website. The pilot would be tested at the Ministry of Interior and Administration with the goals of increasing transparency, public education around laws, and involvement in the legislative process.
This document discusses open data strategies in Amsterdam.
