A call to librarians to use their library powers in the community beyond the walls of their institutions as the open data folks need their knowledge!
Title:
Open Sesame: Open Data, Data Liberation and New Opportunities for Libraries
Abstract:
Cities and data producers are quickly embracing Open Data, albeit unevenly. The Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) has been a pioneer in broadening access to data for nearly two decades. This session will examine the relevance of Data Liberation in terms of Open Data and explore how librarians can step up to the plate to make Open Data/Open Government as successful as DLI.

20yrs: 2001 Preservation Management of Digital Materials [the Digital Preserv...Neil Beagrie
20 Years in Digital Preservation: 2001 presentation on the Preservation Management of Digital Materials [the Digital Preservation Handbook] at the Digital Continuity Forum and workshop, Melbourne Australia.
This is the second of 12 conference presentations I have selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation.
This one is selected because of the subsequent influence the Handbook has had (I believe 15 years later it is still the most heavily used resource on the DPC website). It also seemed apposite with the online Handbook currently being worked and updated to its first major “second edition”.
The presentation is in two parts a keynote to the Forum on the Handbook and a set of workshop slides – consisting of a digital preservation questionnaire and a set of [institutional] responses probably from a repeat performance and workshop at a separate event in Australia.
I have almost no information left on these events but fortunately the Pandora web archive at the National Library of Australia has an archived description of the Forum: it just shows how useful web archives are!

Integrating principles of social innovation and knowledge ManagementRichard Vines
This presentation and discussion delivered by Richard Vines and Dan Cotton was one of the many presentations made at the National eXtension conference in 2014 in Sacramento California. It draws on the collaborations that have been emerging between Victoria's Department of Environment and Primary Industries, the Australian Grains Research and Development Corporation and the US eXtension Foundation. These collaborations involve the piloting of two learning networks in the Australian Grains Industry drawing upon the lessons learned from the eight years of operation of eXtension across the US Land Grant network of Universities. The discussion that followed brought to to the surface some of the underlying challenges that Australia might face as it investigates the relevance of the US eXtension model and how it might apply in an Australian context. It also raises an emergent hypothesis about whether there really is an appetite to investigate possibilities, principles and policies for multi-national science based collaborations.

Open Research Problems in Linked Data - WWW2010Juan Sequeda
These are the Open Research Problems of Linked Data slides that we presented at the Consuming Linked Data tutorial at WWW2010 in Raleigh, NC on April 26, 2010
In recent years governments and research institutions have emphasized the need for open data as a fundamental component of open science. But we need much more than the data themselves for them to be reusable and useful. We need descriptive and machine-readable metadata, of course, but we also need the software and the algorithms necessary to fully understand the data. We need the standards and protocols that allow us to easily read and analyze the data with the tools of our choice. We need to be able to trust the source and derivation of the data. In short, we need an interoperable data infrastructure, but it must be a flexible infrastructure able to work across myriad cultures, scales, and technologies. This talk will present a concept of infrastructure as a body of human, organisational, and machine relationships built around data. It will illustrate how a new organization, the Research Data Alliance, is working to build those relationships to enable functional data sharing and reuse.

Stuart Macdonald steps through the process of creating a robust data management plan for researchers. Presented at the European Association for Health Information and Libraries (EAHIL) 2015 workshop, Edinburgh, 11 June 2015.
This slide set examines the contention that opening data is an inherently good thing - that the case for open data is an open and shut case. It sets out a contrary view that whilst open data is desirable, much more critical thinking is required as to what this means in practice and the possible negative implications of opening data, and calls for a wider debate about the relative merits and politics of open data and how we go about opening data.

Week 13 (Apr. 8) – Assemblages, Genealogies and Dynamic Nominalism
Course description:
The emphasis is to learn to envision data genealogically, as a social and technical assemblages, as infrastructure and reframe them beyond technological conceptions. During the term we will explore data, facts and truth; the power of data both big and small; governmentality and biopolitics; risk, probability and the taming of chance; algorithmic culture, dynamic nominalism, categorization and ontologies; the translation of people, space and social phenomena into and by data and software and the role of data in the production of knowledge.
This class format is a graduate MA seminar and a collaborative workshop. We will work with Ottawa Police Services and critically examine the socio-technological data assemblage of that institution. This includes a fieldtrip to the Elgin street station; a tour of the 911 Communication Centre and we will meet with data experts.

From Aspiration to Reality: Open Smart Cities
Open smart cities might become a reality for Canada. Globally there are a number of initiatives, programs, and practices that are open smart city like which means that it is possible to have an open, responsive and engaged city that is both socio-technologically enabled, but also one where there is receptivity to and a willingness to grow a critically informed type of technological citizenship (Feenberg). For an open smart city to exist, public officials, the private sector, scholars, civil society and residents and citizens require a definition and a guide to start the exercise of imagining what an open smart city might look like. There is much critical scholarship about the smart city and there are many counter smart city narratives, but there are few depictions of what engagement, participatory design and technological leadership might be. The few examples that do exist are project based and few are systemic. An open smart city definition and guide was therefore created by a group of stakeholders in such a way that it can be used as the basis for the design of an open smart city from the ground up, or to help actors shape or steer the course of emerging or ongoing data and networked urbanist forms (Kitchin) of smart cities to lead them towards being open, engaged and receptive to technological citizenship.
This talk will discuss some of the successes resulting from this Open Smart Cities work, which might also be called a form or engaged scholarship. For example the language for the call for tender of the Infrastructure Canada Smart City Challenge was modified to include as a requisite that engagement and openness be part of the submissions from communities. Also, those involved with the guide have been writing policy articles that critique either AI or the smart city while also offering examples of what is possible. These articles are being read by proponents of Sidewalk Labs in Toronto. Also, the global Open Data Conference held in Argentina in September of 2018 hosted a full workshop on Open Smart Cities and finally Open North is working toward developing key performance indicators to assess those shortlisted by Infrastructure Canada and to help those communities develop an Open Smart Cities submission. The objective of the talk is to demonstrate that it is actually possible to shift public policy on large infrastructure projects, at least, in the short term.
This week we will learn about user generated content (UGC), citizen science, crowdsourcing & volunteered geographic information (VGI). We will also discuss divergent views on data humanitarianism.
Cottbus Brandenburg University of Technology Lecture series on Smart RegionsCritically Assembling Data, Processes & Things: Toward and Open Smart CityJune 5, 2018
This lecture will critically focus on smart cities from a data based socio-technological assemblage approach. It is a theoretical and methodological framework that allows for an empirical examination of how smart cities are socially and technically constructed, and to study them as discursive regimes and as a large technological infrastructural systems.
The lecture will refer to the research outcomes of the ERC funded Programmable City Project led by Rob Kitchin at Maynooth University and will feature examples of empirical research conducted in Dublin and other Irish cities.
In addition, the lecture will discuss the research outcomes of the Canadian Open Smart Cities project funded by the Government of Canada GeoConnections Program. Examples will be drawn from five case studies namely about the cities of Edmonton, Guelph, Ottawa and Montreal, and the Ontario Smart Grid as well as number of international best practices. The recent Infrastructure Canada Canadian Smart City Challenge and the controversial Sidewalk Lab Waterfront Toronto project will also be discussed.
It will be argued that no two smart cities are alike although the technological solutionist and networked urbanist approaches dominate and it is suggested that these kind of smart cities may not live up to the promise of being better places to live.
In this lecture, the ideals of an Open Smart City are offered instead and in this kind of city residents, civil society, academics, and the private sector collaborate with public officials to mobilize data and technologies when warranted in an ethical, accountable and transparent way in order to govern the city as a fair, viable and livable commons that balances economic development, social progress and environmental responsibility. Although an Open Smart City does not yet exist, it will be argued that it is possible.

Canada is a data and technological society. There is no sector that is uninformed by data or unmediated by code, algorithms, software and infrastructure. Consider the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and precision agriculture; or smart fisheries, forestry, and energy and of course governing. In a data based and technological society, leadership is the responsibility of all citizens, a parent, teacher, scholar, administrator, public servant, nurse and doctor, mayor and councillor, fisher, builder, business person, industrialist, MP, MLA, PM, and so on. In other words leadership is distributed and requires people power. This form of citizenship, according to Andrew Feenberg, Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Technology, requires agency, knowledge and the capacity to act or power. In this GovMaker Keynote I will introduce the concept of technological citizenship, I will discuss what principled public interest governing might look like, and how we might go about critically applying philosophy in our daily practice. In terms of practice I will discuss innovative policy and regulation such as the right to repair movement, EU legislation such as the right to explanation, data subjects and the right to access and also data sovereignty from a globalization and an indigenous perspective.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A look at the way Data Liberation (DLI)
started a move toward open data
CLA 2012
Wendy Watkins
June 1, 2012
4. Why Should We Care About Data?
• We use data to understand the world in
which we live
• Gives us evidence for decision and policy
making
– Individuals
– Corporations
– Governments
• Good data are essential
for good governance
5. What is the Data Liberation Initiative?
• Program to provide affordable access to
Statistics Canada’s public datafiles and
databases to academics
• Not really open – subscription based
• Partnership between Statistics Canada and
Canadian post-secondary institutions
• Housed in academic libraries
– Logical place on campus because of service
orientation and campus-wide coverage
– Used to administering licences
6. Why and How Did It Start?
• Canadian universities unable to afford
StatCan data
• Used US data or simply did without
• 1992 paper suggested a solution
• 1996 government adopted the plan
• Expected 30 universities to join
– 50 became members within the 1st year
– Far exceeded expectations
7. What Does It Include?
• All public Statistics Canada databases
– Tables, graphs, time-series aggregate data
• Geographic files at every level
– National
– Provincial
– Sub-provincial
• 350 Public Use Microdata files
– Anonymized records of individual responses
– “Designer data”
8. Statistics and Data
• Statistics are data that have been
organized
• Data are raw numbers that must be
processed to make sense
9. Statistics and Data – an analogy
• Using statistics is like buying a postcard
– Someone else defines the view
• Data have the power of a camera
– Researcher makes decisions on content
10. What Are DLI’s Benefits?
• Dedicated and knowledgeable team at
Statistics Canada
• One-stop-shop for all data and statistical
products
• Ready help via the listserv
• Annual regional training programs
• National training (every 4 years)
• Boot camps for new members (as needed)
• Community of data professionals
11. Transition to Free Statistics Canada Data
• No change for DLI
– Stopped paying for data in 2000
• All about data management
– Robust metadata
– Quality control
• One licence per institution for the collection
– non-DLI – one licence per PUMF per person
– Not a workable solution for academic libraries
• Access to valuable data NOT available outside DLI
– Canadian Centre for Health Information (CIHI)
microdata Discharge Abstract Database (DAD)
– Other important microdata under negotiation
13. Programs/Projects as a Result of DLI
• Research Data Centre Network
http://www.rdc-cdr.ca/
– network of 27 research centres with secure access
to Statistics Canada’s confidential data
• <odesi>
http://odesi.ca
– a digital repository for social science data
– data exploration, extraction and analysis tool
– built by academic data librarians
• Data Liberation International
14. Remember, librarians built the
infrastructure for DLI, <odesi>, Equinox
and much much more!

16. A view from the Developing World
• AKA: Data Liberation International
- Different set of challenges for developing
countries than Canadian DLI
- But the principles are transferable
- This presentation will outline the path
followed by developing countries to reach the
goal of data to support research and learning
in the context of their economic and social
development
17. Data and Development
• The value of data to guide economic and
social development has been recognized a
long time ago
- World census of population and agriculture
program
- UN Statistics Division coordination
- Periodic household surveys sponsored by
international donors
- A greater focus on macro financial time series
after the ‘Mexican Peso Crisis’
18. Barriers to Use of Sound Data
• Relevance
- Aligned to national or sponsors’ priorities ?
- Optimal timing and sequencing ?
• Data Quality
• Reliability
• Comparability
- Over time, and across countries
20. Barriers Cont’d
• Accessibility
Legal, technical, political, psychological issues
• Usability
Poor documentation risk of misuse
Lesson: Even if data are open, one
must pay attention to quality and
accessibility issues
22. The Marrakesh Action Plan
• Established the
• PARIS21 Secretariat under OECD umbrella as a
consortium of development agencies
• International Household Survey Network (IHSN)
to develop tools and policies
• Accelerated Data Program (ADP) to work with
countries
25. International Household Survey Network
IHSN is a partnership of international
organizations
• For better data collection
- Coordination for better survey planning
- Harmonization of recommendations
• For better use of existing survey data
- Tools and guidelines for better data
documentation, dissemination, preservation
(Microdata Management Toolkit).
26. Microdata Management Toolkit
• Document data according to international
XML standards and good practices
• Availability in several languages and open
source
• Benefits:
- Preserve institutional memory
- Data quality control
- Better documentation lower risk of misuse
- Easy dissemination (html, PDF output)
27. Microdata Management Toolkit
A specialized metadata editor for
data documentation and quality control Automatic generation of
user friendly outputs
28. Accelerated Data Program (ADP)
Providing support to countries to :
• Establish national microdata archives
• Document, disseminate existing data
• Analyze existing data for selected key issues
• Assess reliability, relevance, comparability
• Support new survey programs
• Sponsor lots of training
29. A web-based database of surveys,
searchable by region/country,
type of survey, year, etc.
Advanced search (by topic)
being developed.
30. Survey Description
For each survey,
information
is provided
in four pages:
description,
content,
documentation,
and dataset
31. Conclusions
• Data need to be transformed from their raw
state to make them more useable
• The key to success for IHSN, ADP is
standards based tools and out reach
• Tools and infrastructure for managing data
can be shared (tool kit etc. are open source)
• Data and information specialists need to
work with data producers in this process
• There is a role for professional librarians in
making data more accessible

Données sources
Au niveau municipal, les
données sont accessibles
indirectement sur le site de la
ville de Montréal. En d'autres
termes, ces données n'ont pas
été prévues pour être utilisées
de manière directe mais sont
affichées sur une carte dans la
section Info-Travaux.
Au niveau provinciale, les
données viennent du
Ministère des transports du
Québec et de son
service Québec 511. Là aussi le
MTQ se démarque de ses
homologues canadiens en étant
a priori le premier à proposer
des données GPS pour la
localisation des chantiers.

40. RAPLIQ
Accessibility – Auditing Physical Space
Whether a location is
accessible depends on
more than the
presence of a ramp.
RAPLIQ audits a
building on several
dozen criteria
important to people
with different
disabilities.

41. Accessibility Audit Prototype Map
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
This is a prototype of a map of
accessible businesses in
Montreal, based on data
compiled over the last several
years by RAPLIQ.
We're interested in finding
potential partners or
sponsors.
Qui sommes-nous?
This prototype was built by
Michael Lenczner, Josh
Vanwyck, Keharn Yawnghwe,
and Michael Mulley

• Community:
• Wished access was faster and atlas and data
were housed in community
• Wished adding content was easier
• Needed flexibility for types of data and
metadata to be saved and how to present it
• Nunaliit:
• Distributed network of replicating nodes,
including nodes in communities, and on
mobile
• Simplified data collection app replaces half
a dozen devices for offline data collection
• Document oriented database with data and
applications loosely connected via flexible
schema system
