Rethinking Governance via Social Networking: The case of direct vs. indirect stakeholder injection

•

0 likes•367 views

This document discusses two approaches to stakeholder engagement in governance via social networking: direct injection, where citizens directly engage with politicians on social media, and indirect injection, where citizens discuss policy issues online and their views indirectly influence politicians. It describes the WeGov project, an EU-funded initiative to build citizen-politician dialogue on existing social networks. Initial prototypes have been created and evaluated, with the goal of developing tools to support policymakers' work by analyzing online discussions.

1) The document discusses how consumers want "interesting stuff" of all kinds from various creative works and media, rather than distinguishing between specific types of content or platforms. 2) It notes that the internet enables more direct relationships between creative enterprises and end users, and that no single business model will work for every media proposition. 3) The document advocates for more co-design with users, involving them throughout the design process rather than just testing, to better understand their needs and behaviors.

ICT Solutions for Better Governance

Yannis Charalabidis

This document discusses the challenges of governance in a complex world and proposes research directions for ICT-enabled governance. It notes that society is increasingly fast-changing while governance remains siloed and linear. This creates a gap between society and governance. It proposes that by 2020, policy-making could involve more collaborative and data-driven approaches utilizing modeling, simulation, and collective intelligence tools. Key research challenges include developing integrated and reusable models simulating large societal phenomena, facilitating collaborative modeling between citizens and groups, and ensuring real-time open government data. The document outlines several European research projects exploring these directions to support more evidence-based and participatory decision-making.

Public Service Media as an Open Ecosystem

Dobusch Leonhard

This document discusses challenges facing public service media in the digital era and opportunities for public service media to create an open ecosystem. It argues that public service media should open itself up by cooperating with other public media organizations, making content available to audiences on third-party platforms, and licensing content under free and open licenses to partner with non-profit organizations like Wikipedia. Examples are given of how public broadcasters in Germany are beginning to adopt more open strategies, like making historical videos available on Wikipedia. The document advocates for public service media to act as platform operators and curators within a shared "public open space," cooperating with other organizations for common good, innovation, and public value.

Bristol's Open Data Journey

South West Data Meetup

Jan 2016 talk to SW Data Meetup by Kevin O'Malley (City Innovation Team Manager, Bristol City Council) at the "OPEN DATA SPECIAL: Kickstarting ODI Bristol" event. The open data landscape in Bristol is evolving rapidly. This special meetup will update South West Data on recent developments, including an opportunity for the Meetup to become the City's official Open Data Institute (ODI) network - kickstarting ODI Bristol with an established network of data experts to which the ODI Node would bring data producers and data consumers into the mix. In January 2015, Kevin O'Malley, Bristol City Council, gave a well-received talk to a packed meetup about Bristol is Open and the Open Programmable City API. One year on he will be returning to talk about ODI Bristol and update the group on additions to the City's open data portfolio, including Bristol API (Transport). There's also a lot going on in open data in the region, outside of Bristol City Council and Jen Williams, from NetworkedPlanet, will be pitching an idea for South West Data to host an Open Data Camp, an "unconference", which would involve taking over the Watershed for a weekend and a mix of local, national and international (un)delegates. The meetup will allow time for, appropriately, open discussion, questions and answers from the speakers and the audience. Tom Heath, Head of Research at ODI, Leigh Dodds, Senior Consultant at ODI, and Martin Howitt, from ODI Devon Node, will all be at hand to contribute to the discussion and answer questions.
