Government as a Platform: New foundations for a digital stateTom Loosemore
A talk given to the Westminster eForum on 24 June 2015, it shares a vision for a simpler, cheaper government built on new Internet-era institutional and data foundations. Aka Government as a Platform.
The document discusses the journey of entrepreneur Marc Canter and his vision for using technology to create jobs and connect communities. Some key points include:
- Canter believes social media and public funds could be used more efficiently to create jobs rather than traditional methods.
- He wants to use live video and two-way conversations on the real-time web as a safety net to provide help whenever needed.
- His goals in Northeast Ohio include developing the "Digital City project", teaching, starting another billion dollar company, and finding diversity.
- His vision involves connecting the online world to the real world through things like citizen dashboards, webcams, and digital jobs to create multimedia content.
Tom Loosemore discusses the work of the Government Digital Service (GDS) in leading the digital transformation of the UK government. Some key accomplishments include launching the GOV.UK website in 2012 to consolidate government information and services in a user-focused design. GDS has also focused on transforming 25 high-volume government transactions and establishing an open supplier market through the G-Cloud framework. Looking ahead, Loosemore speculates that future government services may be distributed through civic networks and platforms rather than centralized, with GDS continuing to establish open standards and tools to support new digital public services.
The document discusses the shift from Government 1.0 to Government 2.0, enabled by digital technologies and social media. Government 2.0 aims to empower citizens to participate in decision-making and access public data. It notes that over 70% of Australian government agencies now use social media for official purposes, primarily for stakeholder engagement. Examples of Government 2.0 initiatives in Australia include thousands of online consultations, hundreds of government Twitter accounts and Facebook pages, and crowdsourcing competitions. However, social media does not replace all existing approaches and does not work for all audiences or issues. Managing risks is also important.
The Future of Broadband: Telemedia, Futurist Gerd LeonhardGerd Leonhard
This document discusses the transformation of technologies and the creation of new demand for information and communication technology (ICT) services. Some of the key points discussed include:
- Social networks are becoming the new cable TV without the cable infrastructure.
- The future of digital technologies is already here in the form of "digital natives" and the growing "networked society".
- Content will continue to be a key driver but it will need to be accessible over different networks and devices.
- New business models will be needed to address issues like piracy and the need for affordable, legal access to content across different platforms and locations.
- The ecosystem of telecommunications, media, advertising and other industries will
The document discusses the opportunities that open science provides and the challenges of implementing open science practices. It argues that open science allows data and research to have a longer lifespan by enabling others to build upon it. While making data and methods openly available requires extra effort, databases and tools are helping to make open science practices more practical. The document urges researchers to look beyond just preventing bad practices and to focus on the potential benefits of open science, such as maximizing the usefulness of research and stimulating new discoveries.
The Flemish Department of Mobility and Public Works aims to promote multimodal transport through four main actions:

This document discusses open geospatial data, standards, and software. It begins by introducing OpenStreetMap, an open crowd-sourced map of the world. It then discusses how OpenStreetMap data has been used for humanitarian efforts. Next, it outlines several open geospatial data standards and services for finding, rendering, and processing map data. Finally, it promotes open source geospatial software projects like OSGeo Live, an open source geospatial software distribution with over 60 applications.
This document discusses generating linked open data from structured data sources using the RDF Mapping Language (RML). RML provides a uniform and declarative approach to generate RDF through mapping definitions. It supports mapping any structured data, regardless of format or source, to RDF. The document explains key concepts like linked data, RDF, and mapping approaches. It also outlines the RML mapping and generation process, which involves defining mappings, retrieving input data, and editing mappings. RML aims to enable publishing linked data from heterogeneous sources in an integrated and interoperable way.
iRail is a Belgian non-profit organization that has been operating since 2010. They provide open APIs and real-time transit data for Belgium. Their APIs allow users to query station and route information for Belgian railways and view departures/arrivals and vehicle details. iRail also publishes General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data for Belgium that powers third-party transit apps. Their goals include improving the availability of real-time transit data and track shapes through their open GTFS feeds.
This document summarizes the city of Ghent's efforts to publish open data as linked open data from 2011 to 2016. It began by publishing apps using open data in 2011. In 2012 it launched its first data portal and by 2013 had made open data part of its regular operations. It launched a new city website in 2014 and began publishing linked open data in 2016. It provides examples of SPARQL queries that can be used against the linked open data and discusses next steps of increasing internal knowledge, using linked data internally, publishing additional leisure data, and collaborating with other governments on ontologies.
The document discusses linked open government data, including:
1. Linked data is a set of principles for publishing machine-readable data as a service using standard protocols and formats.
2. The key benefits of linked open government data include breaking down data silos, accessing full datasets rather than individual files, and the network effect of increasing data value as more is linked.
3. Implementing linked open government data requires selecting high-value datasets, defining persistent URIs, using standards to model data, selecting an open license, and guaranteeing data persistence.
The Large-scale Reference Database of Flanders as Open Data - Liesbet De WolfOpen Knowledge Belgium
The Large-scale Reference Database of Flanders (LRD) is a public-private partnership that contains geographic reference data for Flanders including 4.3 million buildings, 64,000 km of roads, and 4.7 million parcels. It is managed and updated by the Flemish government agency Informatie Vlaanderen. As of 2015, the LRD is available as open data through web services and downloadable files with conditions for use. The LRD is used in many applications by government, private companies and citizens as an authoritative source of geographic information for Flanders.
This document discusses recommendations for providing data to journalists in a more useful format. It suggests that data providers share the raw numbers and all underlying data behind aggregations and graphics, rather than just publishing fonts, colors, and logos. It also stresses the importance of including complete metadata about how the data was collected and any restrictions on its use, as well as making the data accessible through formats like spreadsheets and data portals instead of just PDFs. The goal is to enable journalists to more easily analyze and verify the data themselves rather than manually copying numbers.
OpenAire Sessions - An Open Knowledge & Research Information InfrastructureOpen Knowledge Belgium
OpenAIRE is an open knowledge and research infrastructure that aims to widely disseminate and provide access to research outputs. It offers tools, information, and a helpdesk system to facilitate the open access policies of the European Commission. OpenAIRE works as an integrated scientific information infrastructure by collecting metadata, publications, data, and other information and making it discoverable. It provides various services to researchers, research administrators, data providers, and funders, such as helping with reporting requirements, generating publication lists, and providing aggregated statistics. OpenAIRE plans to further develop its linked open data and literature broker services.
This document provides an overview and agenda for the Open Belgium 2016 conference. The one day conference will include:
- A plenary session from 9:00-10:30 AM
- Breakout sessions from 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM on topics like open data, open source, and open standards
- A closing keynote from 5:00-5:30 PM
- A reception at Antwerp's city hall from 6:00 PM
The document also discusses the current state of open data and open government in Belgium, provides examples of available open datasets, and highlights efforts to encourage more reuse of open data.
- Open accessibility data can be used to make the lives of people with mental/cognitive disabilities better by making information more accessible through features like text-to-speech, pictures/pictograms, and simplified layouts.
- Only a small percentage of technology organizations focus on helping people with mental/cognitive disabilities, compared to those helping people with physical disabilities. The presenter's goal is to inspire more organizations to serve this community.
- Open data can be paired with accessibility features and released through apps to provide important information to people with disabilities in accessible formats they can understand.
This document discusses approaches to open data and its reuse. It outlines both top-down and bottom-up strategies, and argues that a combination of the two may be most effective. On the one hand, a top-down approach aims to harvest, harmonize and enrich data on a global scale. However, locally governed data leads to locally relevant apps. The document suggests that providing uniform data on a municipal level and using semantic data and APIs may help bridge these approaches.
The document discusses open science and responsible research, noting that public engagement, open access, gender, ethics, science education, and governance are important parts of responsible research and innovation. It emphasizes that dissemination of research results is an essential part of the research process and that science should be available for everyone to use. It provides information on open research data and resources for learning how to conduct open science, including legal issues and the view of a scientist, and was presented by Inge Van Nieuwerburgh of OpenAccess Belgium and Ghent University Library.

Engaging Times: 20 Years of E-Democracy LessonsSteven Clift
Key lessons from twenty years of e-democracy, open government, civic technology, and citizen participation online.
Extended slide deck combining almost all slides used by Steven Clift across 14 presentations across Taiwan and the Philippines to different audiences.
Jimmy Schulz, a member of the German Parliament, argues that innovative digital methods could allow citizens to better participate in politics but have not been fully implemented. If new forms of participation are not established, representative democracy will continue losing credibility. Schulz advocates developing a digital culture of participation with new concepts to renew communication between citizens and politics. This includes ensuring citizens have adequate information, opportunities for real dialogue, and the ability to vote on specific issues if needed. The advancement of digital technology can enrich democracy by enabling more participation, so parliaments must adapt to the new aspects of the information society.
New Voices: Local online participation trends and opportunitiesSteven Clift
The document discusses online civic engagement and local government in Minnesota. It notes that Minnesota was an early pioneer in computing but was wiped out by PCs. It discusses the use of online forums and social media to facilitate local civic participation, information sharing, and decision making. Examples are given of neighborhood forums used to discuss issues like crime prevention and disaster response. Challenges include reaching a diverse population and ensuring participation from all community members.
Sg gov camp - stuart smith - govcamp presentationMicrosoftSG
The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of open government data and real-time decision making. It notes that while open data can promote transparency and empower citizens, institutions and citizens may not be ready for the speed of real-time information. Real-time data requires consideration of how much data people can process, issues of bias, and whether democratic decision-making can keep pace. Professional training may also need to adapt to these new information environments. The document calls for engagement, education, and adaptation by citizens, institutions, and professions to ensure open data achieves its potential.
The document discusses how smart cities rely on big data and open data to function effectively. It describes how smart cities utilize various digital technologies and data sources across different domains like transportation, energy, infrastructure, and services. The challenges of smart cities include training, staffing, budgets, cooperation, and ensuring systems can manage large data loads. Open data and big data are seen as essential for smart cities to make better decisions, stimulate innovation, and gain predictive insights that support residents. Data is a major driver enabling smart cities to address challenges and turn them into opportunities.
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) such as email has helped political communication in divided regions by allowing people to communicate across borders. While CMC gives people greater freedom to participate in political processes and express their views, it also enables politicians and governments to disseminate information and potentially exert control. CMC provides both opportunities and challenges for political participation and democracy.
This document discusses 7 levers of digital social innovation: 1) mobile, 2) web platforms, 3) open source, 4) crowdfunding, 5) data, 6) social media, and 7) knowledge. It provides case studies to illustrate how each lever has enabled social entrepreneurs and organizations to foster social change. These case studies highlight how mobile apps have helped those with autism develop autonomy, how a phone app has made communication possible for the deaf, and how open source platforms and crowdfunding have supported various social initiatives around the world. Overall, the document argues that by leveraging these digital tools, the current generation can act to drive meaningful social innovation.
How open data and social media can work together to solve some of government's big problems. (Presented to the California Democratic Party Internet Caucus at Stanford University, Feb. 5, 2011.)
Ivonne Jansen presented on apps challenges and their impact. Some key points:
- Apps challenges can produce many apps but require significant effort and cost to run. It is debated whether the value created is worth the cost.
- Challenges aim to create both economic and social value, engaging citizens, developers, and governments. However, both challenges and open data come with risks around privacy, data quality, and infrastructure that must be addressed.
- When done well, challenges can spur innovation, new combinations of data, and increased engagement and involvement of citizens with their government.
Diplo E-Participation Day, What is E-Participation and why it matters, Guy Gi...DiploFoundation
The document discusses e-participation and open data. It defines e-participation as using information and communication technologies to enable and strengthen citizen participation in democratic decision-making processes. Some benefits of e-participation include increasing government transparency, enhancing citizen involvement, and improving quality of public opinion. Open data sits at the heart of a global movement facilitated by technology and social media that can create more accountable and effective governments. While governments collect large amounts of data, they do not always share it in accessible, usable ways. The document lists some examples of technologies and tools that enable e-participation, as well as some criticisms such as the digital divide limiting participation.

Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
