Proceedings of the E-Democracy and Open Government Conference CeDEM13 held at the Danube University Krems in May 2013.
The proceedings include all the submissions that were reviewed and accepted at the confernce.
1) The document describes a spatial overlapping generations model to analyze how public transport investment can translate into regional growth through labor market effects.
2) It focuses on a model with two regions and heterogeneous skilled labor, where transport infrastructure affects commuting times and trade costs.
3) Preliminary experiments show transport infrastructure investment can increase output both through gains from trade and by improving matching in the labor market, especially when skills are more heterogeneous.
The document proposes a generic architecture to support e-participatory budgeting. The architecture includes components for common tasks in participatory budgeting like problem structuring, debating, preference modelling, negotiation, and voting. It is based on service-oriented architecture principles with components like a central bus and interfaces for voting, negotiation, structuring preferences, and more. The architecture is tested through an experiment involving these common tasks. The document concludes that participatory budgets are increasingly used but currently make little use of information technology, presenting opportunities for further methodology and technology development.
An open Government Model for the Openness and the Modernization of the Public...Mauro Draoli
The growing development of the Open Government Model leads to an organizational revolution by breaking down organizational boundaries and providing greater access to information. It also can allow the increasing of transparency in public agencies and citizen participation, enhancing collaboration and facilitating democratic processes. Transparency and open data can be powerful tools to stimulate and support public services’ improvements, faster innovation and empower citizens’ rights. So actually many governmental organizations are reviewing and rearranging their processes, information and data to improve policies, enhance legitimacy and openness toward outside parties and citizens. Without an
“open” public knowledge is not possible to establish a culture of collaboration and participation among the main stakeholders.
The document discusses the ENGAGE metadata architecture for open government data (OGD). It proposes a three-layer metadata model using the CERIF standard to provide richer contextual metadata than typical OGD standards. The model includes discovery metadata mapped to common standards, contextual metadata using CERIF to represent semantics, and detailed subject metadata. This allows generating different metadata formats from CERIF while maintaining structured querying capabilities and enabling semantic web representations through linked open data. The metadata architecture is part of ENGAGE's overall data infrastructure that aims to go beyond existing open data sites in metadata quality, dataset diversity and user services.
The document discusses the need for standardization of open budgetary data in the Brazilian public administration. It identifies requirements for open government data from the literature, including being complete, timely, accessible, and machine-readable. An analysis of 88 transparency portals in Brazil found most only met 2-star open data standards. The authors conclude standardization is needed to make data more usable for consumers and propose future work to further review literature, explore open budget initiatives, and prototype a system.
The document describes the Botswana Speaks Parliamentary Initiative, a project that aims to foster communication between MPs and citizens in Botswana. It involves developing an online and mobile platform as well as offline constituency meetings to allow citizens to provide input to MPs on legislation and other issues. The project is a partnership between government, universities, and NGOs seeking to embrace Botswana's consultative traditions and increase civic engagement through new technologies.
War Co-Creation vor 10 Jahren noch stark auf den Bereich Wirtschaft beschränkt, so findet sich das Konzept nun auch immer mehr im Bereich der Verwaltung und der Öffentlichkeit.

The document discusses transport policy and funding challenges faced by the International Transport Forum (ITF). It notes that the ITF is an inter-governmental organization with 54 member countries that focuses on global transport policy issues and provides comparative statistics and research. It states that transport policy is difficult due to its impact on people's lives and different stakeholder interests. A mix of policy tools is needed, including supply, regulation, pricing, and information strategies. Funding transport requires balancing long-term impacts versus short-term results and considering who benefits and pays for investments. Knowledge sharing across countries is important given the complex nature of these issues.
The document discusses a PhD project called S-City that aims to understand how information and communication technologies (ITS) can impact mobility and safety while addressing privacy issues. It outlines how ITS has the potential to enhance mobility through information, monitoring, localization, identification, authorization, and communication technologies. However, these applications raise privacy concerns regarding lack of control over personal information, risk of social exclusion, and compromising of privacy. Examples are given of privacy issues around data retention by transportation agencies and mobile phone tracking. The document argues that privacy is important for individuals' well-being and democratic societies, and that its loss can result in harm.
The document discusses connectivity technologies that enable connected vehicles. It provides examples of applications for connected vehicles in urban and interurban areas that improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Connected vehicle technologies allow for wireless asset management solutions that optimize maintenance schedules based on real-time vehicle sensor data.
