This document discusses OpenFed, a Drupal distribution created by BOSA, the Belgian Federal Public Service Policy and Support, to help administrations set up Drupal sites more easily. OpenFed is a selection of compatible modules that avoid maintenance issues and focus on features like multilingual support and privacy. BOSA hosts the sites, while external companies handle development and configuration. The distribution and BOSA's service model can be reused by other administrations. The document also briefly mentions Data.gov.be and exchanging data between portals using DCAT metadata standards.
Open Summer of Code is organized by Open Knowledge Belgium and sponsored by public and private sectors to have students get paid to work for about 3 weeks on real projects in teams of 3-5 people focusing on fields like ICT, communications, and design. The program emphasizes community, teamwork, coaching, project pitches, and training.
This document summarizes Belgium's efforts around open data and data portals at the federal level. It discusses:
1) The Open Data Task Force consisting of FPS BOSA DG DT and DAV/ASA that manages Data.gov.be and seeks to revamp it in 2021/22.
2) Other Belgian data portals including SODHA for social science data, a national transport data portal, and Statbel's data lab for beta datasets.
3) Available open data resources like the BeST address database and upcoming open datasets on election results, judicial maps, and cadastral statistics.
4) Initiatives around open government, reusable APIs, and encouraging sharing of open data

This document summarizes a presentation about open source and open data. It discusses key topics like open source licenses and business models, how to evaluate healthy open source projects, and examples of open data types and licensing. Open communities and initiatives are also covered, such as OpenSummerOfCode which funds students to build open source projects using open data.
This document discusses several open community projects including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, OpenStreetMap, Wheelmap, Telraam, Weather Observations Website, GitHub curated lists, Common Voice, and others. It provides brief descriptions of each project, what opportunities they present for public administrations and organizations, and encourages contributions to help document government data and services.
From webform to API using microframeworksBart Hanssens
This document discusses converting a webform into an API using microframeworks like Quarkus and libraries such as Jsoup and WireMock. It notes that while microframeworks allow rapid prototyping with few lines of code and fast development, the resulting API can be brittle and break if the underlying form or responses change. The document provides links to the Quarkus, Jsoup, Jib, and WireMock open source projects discussed.
Voordeel halen uit zoekmachines en semantic webBart Hanssens
Hoe kan gestructureerde, semantische opmaak en machineleesbare content ervoor zorgen dat zoekmachines websites beter gaan "begrijpen".
Presentatie tijdens het "Make your website great again" event.
This document provides an overview and discussion of graph databases, property graphs, semantic graphs using RDF, and the relationships between them. It discusses different file formats, query languages, APIs, and database models that can be used with each. While property graphs and semantic graphs have similarities in representing nodes, edges, and properties, the main differences are that property graphs do not natively support metadata on relationships or semantics, whereas semantic graphs in RDF do. The document considers when each may be suitable and how they are used in practice.
Open data, what's cooking at the federal levelBart Hanssens
This document summarizes activities related to open data at the federal level in Belgium. It describes data portals like Data.gov.be and stories created using open data. Examples discussed include Statbel Junior for statistics, Municipality in Numbers, and Terrascope for satellite imagery. Other topics covered include legislation identifiers, rail data, geospatial data on Geo.be, and health data projects. The presenter encourages sharing open data theses, apps, or events to help promote further open data initiatives.
The document discusses Belgium's open data portal DATA.GOV.BE. It harvests metadata and links to open government data from federal, regional, and local websites in Belgium. The portal uses open standards like SPARQL, SKOS, and DCAT-AP and open source technologies like Java, Apache POI, JSoup, Eclipse RDF4J, and XMLBeam to collect, tweak, map, and exchange this data. The full source code and metadata export are published on GitHub. Contact information is provided to ask questions.
- Belgium began testing IPv6 in 1998 through research networks and saw early adoption by telecom agencies and small ISPs, but usage was still below 1% as of 2010.
- In 2011, major ISPs began preparing for IPv6 rollout as IP addresses became scarce and new services emerged, and the national government launched an ambitious plan to promote adoption in both public and private sectors.
- By 2014, IPv6 usage in Belgium reached 30% as large ISPs completed rollouts and the government enabled it on key websites, though challenges remained in fully implementing it across all systems and finding experienced engineers.
