http://www.platformization.org/Articles/dSilva_Sovereign%20digital%20platforms-final%20-%20ECIS%202018.pdf
Digitalisation of the public sector has emerged as a separate field, focusing on effective government and the provision of universal services. In this paper, building on the platform literature, we extend this perspective, suggesting that a particular class of platforms, which we call Sovereign Digital Platforms, can serve the needs of the public sector, but also contribute to efficiency and growth in the private sector.
Our empirical evidence is Altinn, a Norwegian public-sector platform, which was established in 2003. Altinn is more than a technical platform; it is also the core of a government-business ecosystem of innovation and participation, enabled by trust emerging from key public registers and their institutional custodians. We use the unique experience of Altinn to develop some key concepts of the Sovereign Digital Platform, and to discuss the implications for digitalisation policies.
It’s the age of getting smart or smarter. Technology has been seeping into every sphere of our lives in the past few years. After our phones and televisions have gotten smarter, it’s time to envisage our cities to become smarter. Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) have a significant role to play in making our lives simpler by inter-connecting our scattered digital footprints to create an efficient and cohesive habitable unit for us. While the idea of a smart city has been floating around for some time now, its successful implementation needs to counter and conquer many roadblocks.

The administrations of smart cities should have the smart governance, safety measures with cultural and social stimulus. Four building blocks of smart cities, i.e., people and environment, smart utilities, smart technology and smart administration are described in the present paper. The aim of this paper is to give a clearer perspective of the key decisions with spatial reference that may assume a key part in the plan of a smart city technique. Application of various technologies, for examples big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, block chain technology to the smart cities are discussed in this paper. Various challenges of smart cities such as information technology (IT) infrastructure, cost, privacy, security, efficiency, fossil fuel dependency and congested commutes with proposed solutions are also presented in this paper.
Abstract:
In 2050, the number of people living in cities will be almost as large as the world’s entire population today. That’s why we need completely new approaches to be taken in order to make our cities to be Smart City. Smart Cities gained importance as a means of making ICT enabled services and applications available to the citizens, and authorities that are part of a city’s system. It aims at increasing citizens’ quality of life, and improving the efficiency and quality of the services provided by governing entities and businesses. Smart City is a type of city that uses new technologies to make them more livable, functional, competitive and modern through the use of new technologies, the promotion of innovation and knowledge management. Cities today are facing significant challenges including increasing populations, infrastructures, and declining budgets.
What is Smart Cities? The Concept of Smart Cities, What are Smart Governance, Smart Citizen, Smart Energy, Smart Technology, Smart Infrastructure, Smart Mobility, Smart Building and Smart Healthcare
Cities are striving to improve their competitiveness on the world stage. Those that succeed in attracting business, investment, and qualified human resource talent will win out. However, most cities face daunting obstacles in their quest to achieve the desired level of attractiveness. In some cases, rapid growth is driving increased pollution and congestion. In other cases, tight budgets are leading to resource constraints and progress is limited.
E-governance, meaning ‘electronic governance’ is using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) at various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing governance. The application of ICT to transform the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of exchange of information and transaction:
between Governments,
between Government agencies,
between Government and Citizens, and
between Government and businesses
Government Process Re-engineering using IT to simplify and make the government processes more efficient is critical for transformation to make the delivery of government services more effective across various government domains and therefore needs to be implemented by all Ministries/ Departments.
NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN (NEGP)
negpThe National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause. Around this idea, a massive countrywide infrastructure reaching down to the remotest of villages is evolving, and large-scale digitization of records is taking place to enable easy, reliable access over the internet. The ultimate objective is to bring public services closer home to citizens, as articulated in the Vision Statement of NeGP.
“Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets,and ensure efficiency, transparency, and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man”
The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 31 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 8 components, on May 18, 2006.

Abstract This paper introduces an open, interoperable, and cloud-computing-based
citizen engagement platform for the management of administrative processes of public
administrations, which also increases the engagement of citizens. The citizen engage-
ment platform is the outcome of a 3-year Italian national project called PRISMA
(Interoperable cloud platforms for smart government; http://www.ponsmartcities-
prisma.it/). The aim of the project is to constitute a new model of digital ecosystem
that can support and enable new methods of interaction among public administrations,
citizens, companies, and other stakeholders surrounding cities. The platform has been
defined by the media as a flexible (enable the addition of any kind of application or
service) and open (enable access to open services) Italian Bcloud^ that allows public
administrations to access to a vast knowledge base represented as linked open data to
be reused by a stakeholder community with the aim of developing new applications
(BCloud Apps^) tailored to the specific needs of citizens. The platform has been used
by Catania and Syracuse municipalities, two of the main cities of southern Italy, located

6. A “SMART CITY” should be described as one that: dramatically
increases the pace at which it improves its sustainability and
resilience by fundamentally improving how it engages society, how it
applies collaborative leadership methods, how it works across
disciplines and city systems, and how it uses data and integrated
technologies, to facilitate better city services, like transportation,
energy, water, waste, health, education, fire and police to improve
the quality of life to those in and involved with the city (residents,
businesses, visitors). Dave Welsh, Microsoft
A smart city uses information and communication technologies (ICT)
to enhance quality, performance and interactivity of urban services,
to reduce costs and resource consumption and to improve contact
between citizens and government. Wikipedia
7. Smart City Elements
1. Ecosystem – A smart city ecosystem includes economic, environmental, social and citizen
engagement. All of these aspects of the ecosystem must be connected, interoperable and enhance
the quality of life for all stakeholders. To construct the smart city elements (ICT, integrated data
systems, data analytics) no one supplier can provide everything required to make a city “smart”. So
a vendor ecosystem is critical as well. Assembling the best local and world-wide companies to
optimize technology and open government data to achieve a city’s resiliency and sustainability
goals is key for leaders to understand.
2. Critical Infrastructures – Transportation, Energy, Water, Waste, Education, Health,
Communication and Data infrastructures are all pieces of a smart city that must be intelligent,
meaning there are IoT devices, mobile devices connecting all these assets with people getting the
right information to the right people at the right time to be deemed “smart”. These connected
infrastructures enable and accelerate a city’s ability to be truly resilient and sustainable.
3. Interoperability of Data Systems – 5% of all data is utilized and leveraged to value. This means
there is a huge opportunity to take all the data a city generates and leverage it by creating systems
of systems that are integrated and made publicly available to create interoperability, which
optimizes and maximizes the value of that data. This innovation will enable environmental and
economic sustainability, resilience, socially responsibility, quality of life and a healthier more better
educated stakeholders within a city.
8. Smart Cities’ foundation are critical human infrastructures, energy, water,
Transportation, ICT networks, data integration, buildings and mobile devices
10. The Different Stakeholders in a Smart City (a complex interaction of systems of systems)
People or citizens: People are one of the major customers of a city since most are residents; many may
pay taxes to the city; and others experience the city as a visitor.
Industry or enterprises: Industries or enterprises which have or plan to have activities in a city are
essential for the city. It is an important to attract and industries or enterprises who play an essential part
in the economy and functions of the city.
City authorities: are usually the administrators that regulate operation of a city (effective leadership of
city authorities remains a challenge in some parts of the world).
Infrastructure operators: The operators are the direct providers of city services. They are stakeholders to
which the city's performances are closely related. They may be under contract to, regulated or steered
by, city authorities.
Product, service and solution providers: Although product, service and solution providers are not always
the direct providers of community services, they provide machines, components, systems, services and
solutions which are necessary for infrastructure operators to provide city services.
Financial institutions and investors: As the construction and operation of a city tend to involve large
scale, long-span projects, the role of financial institutions and investors is essential.
Others: may include advisers, analysts, and press – all of whom have a bearing on the thinking process of
the city.

5. Creating value for the wider economy
Five ICT Essentials for Smart Cities
Without a comprehensive ICT network, your city is not smart
13. United States’ democracy is “of the people, by the people and for the people.”
This definition implies government should be open and transparent in how it makes its
decisions. Furthermore, those decisions should be logical and explainable to constituents.
Decisions must be data-driven. Data used in decision making should be open to inspection
by any constituent or member of the public who, in turn, could suggest alternate
interpretations and solutions.
“Open Data” is a relatively new concept in transparency: open data is freely available or
accessible, without license, and machine-readable, among other characteristics :
• “Freely available and accessible” means the data can be easily obtained, preferably on a
website or in another place on the Internet without onerous restrictions such as login-
passwords or other security measures. These terms also mean without discrimination as
to the user or reason for use.
• “Without license” means the data can be re-used and re-published without obtaining a
license or other legal contract. Some restrictions, such as attribution6 and immutability,
are allowed.
• “Machine readable” is another way of saying usable without technological hindrances.
Data contained in a portable-document-format (PDF) is not machine readable – it is not
easy for a computer to read and use the data. Machine readability is extraordinarily
important so that the dataset can be used in applications such as mapping points on a
handheld device such as a smart phone or tablet.
14. OGD Value
It is already possible to point to a large number of areas where open
government data is creating value. Some of these areas include:
• Transparency and democratic control
• Participation
• Self-empowerment
• Improved or new private products and services
• Innovation
• Improved efficiency of government services
• Improved effectiveness of government services
• Impact measurement of policies
• New knowledge from combined data sources and patterns in large data
volumes
15. OGD Benefits
• More citizens will engage with government to make policy and support
government services such as public safety
• Citizen advocacy groups and researchers will analyze government data
producing new and better insights into difficult problems such as crime and
homelessness
• New businesses will start using the government open data, combined with
information from other sources, to produce new services and products such
as smart phone applications
• Existing government services could be significantly improved as operational
data becomes available to improve business processes and shorten delivery
times.
16. Cultural Obstacles to OGD
Open data movements face a wide variety of obstacles, almost all of them internal to
governments. Chris Martin, researcher at the University of Leeds, has chronicled a
number of these obstacles, including:
• The risk-averse culture of governments
• Opening data is an extra activity, rather than day-to-day responsibility of employees,
and therefore will not occur in a consistent manner;
• Governments lack a coherent vision for funding and promoting open data
• Government officials feel there is little demand or value in the data within their
custody
• Government will lose revenue by opening data,while,conversely, the private sector
will focus on exploiting the financial value while ignoring the social and environmental
value of the data
• Many citizens and advocacy groups are concerned about protecting the privacy of
individuals
• Fear that opening the data will result in criticism for incomplete or inaccurate
datasets
17. Executive Support Needed for OGD
Given the obstacles and culture of government, all successful open data initiatives to
date have required strong and explicit support from the chief executive of the
government entity involved in the effort. Examples include:
• President Barack Obama’s Executive Order and data.gov (more on slide 19)
• US Treasury is participating in the White House National Action Plan for Open
Government's U.S. Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative
https://www.treasury.gov/open/Documents/m10-06.pdf
• New York City Council law 11 of 2012, which basically says “all data which can be
opened, will be opened”, with the support of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the
resulting open data program of the City’s Department of Information Technology
and Telecommunications
• Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s Executive Order 2012-2 on Open Data
http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/narr/foia/open_data_executiveorder.html
• And a number of other examples from Oakland and San Francisco, California,
Louisville, Kentucky and other places Executive support is critical to open data
movements because every government and its bureaucracy resist change.
Governments are, inherently, conservative, always striving to maintain the status
quo. Government officials constantly feel their programs are underfunded and
already burdened with work. Since this conservatism is inherently a part of
government, it takes extraordinary effort to overcome the inertia through senior
leadership.
18. SMARTCITYINFRASTRUCTUREFRAMEWORKS
Businesses
At the same time the open data movement is occurring in government, private
businesses are producing and consuming vast amounts of data.
And the technologies to generate and process data are improving. The techniques
developed and used by private companies to process data can also be applied to
government datasets.
Governmental data can often be combined with privately collected data to develop
new insights and new economic activity.
These insights, in turn, can better inform government policy and services. Some of
these related developments are:
• Generation of data from consumers and businesses who use the Internet
• Generation of data from use of social media
• Generation of data by traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses
• Data analytics
• Use of data from other sources by agencies such as the National Security Agency
19. Since his first full day in office, President Obama has prioritized making government
more open and accountable and has taken substantial steps to increase citizen
participation, collaboration, and transparency in government.
Data.gov, the central site for U.S. Government data, is an important part of the
Administration’s overall effort to open government.

20. Open Government Partnership
OGP was launched in 2011 to provide an international platform for domestic
reformers committed to making their governments more open, accountable, and
responsive to citizens. Since then, OGP has grown from 8 countries to the
69 participating countries indicated on the map below. In all of these countries,
government and civil society are working together to develop and implement
ambitious open government reforms.

21. The Transparency and Accountability Initiative (T/A Initiative) is a
donor collaborative working to expand the impact and scale of
transparency and accountability interventions.
The Transparency and Accountability field is one of the fastest growing
public movements of recent years. It brings together a wide range of
organizations and projects aimed at promoting greater openness on the
part of governments, companies and other institutions so that the public
can hold them to account.
We aim to seize on this momentum by supporting policy change and
encouraging all those working in this field to learn from their successes
and failures so that they can have greater impact in the future.

HELSINKI, Finland — If there's something you'd like to know about Helsinki,
someone in the city administration most likely has the answer. For more than a
century, this city has funded its own statistics bureaus to keep data on the
population, businesses, building permits, and most other things you can think
of. Today, that information is stored and freely available on the internet by an
appropriately named agency, City of Helsinki Urban Facts.

25. Understanding Open Protocol for Building Automation
First, choose products that use an open protocol, meaning one that is used by
many different vendors. This will give you more choices going forward than if you
choose a proprietary protocol (one controlled by a single company).
Second, choose products with a protocol that is widely used, at least in your
area. This is important because some protocols are global while others are
restricted to specific regions. For example, Clipsal C-Bus is popular in Australia,
and M-Bus is used mostly in Europe.
Third, rely on a partner—a major vendor or a systems integrator—who can
consult with you and guide you through the choices.
Fourth, ask questions. You don’t need to be an expert on protocols to choose a
building automation system, you just need to be able to ask the right questions.
Such as:
How many vendors support this protocol?
Will it work with the equipment I already have?
Will it be easy to add new devices later?
What are the plusses and minuses of choosing products with this protocol?
Buildings are the biggest users of energy and water
Smart buildings make cities smart
26. Konza, Kenya will be a smart city, with an integrated urban information and communication
technology (ICT) network that supports delivery of connected urban services and allows for
efficient management of those services on a large scale. Specifically, a smart city framework
will integrate the following four key city services:
• Infrastructure services (transportation, utilities, public safety, environment)
• Citizen services (access and participation)
• City services (city information, planning and development)
• Business services (supportive services for local commerce)

37. Smart Education
From IBM Smarter Cities
One resource the world has no shortage of is data. Schools and universities
have always recorded and stored data as they tracked grades, attendance, test
scores and demographics. With the increasing availability of technology in the
instructional process, educational institutions now collect, in real time, data
about what their students learn and how they progress. Using big time
analytics, everything from attendance to a campus building's energy usage has
a place in identifying targets for improvement and sharing of resources to
enhance learning, spot troubling trends earlier, and instill a sense of common
purpose in working toward goals.
“Our use of analytics is enabling teachers to easily access information,
whereas heretofore it would take a good bit of time. Now they can really
concentrate on the teaching piece and on getting the student engaged.”
J. Alvin Wilbanks, Gwinnett County Public School system
38. IBI Group Smart Education
At the building level, the kinds of intelligent systems developed can help schools,
colleges and universities better manage their energy systems, security,
communication, and transportation.
At a higher level, intelligent systems can help connect departments and
campuses; they can enable virtual and online learning, and engage social media.
At the very highest level, they can partner with contemporary education thinking
to actually change the way that children learn.
Technology is changing the way that we deliver education. Migration from text
books to dynamic learning content delivered through computers and mobile
smart devices allows for more student focused delivery of education; at their
pace, with relevant content and learning approaches. It also allows schools to
stay up to date with current and timely information, and to leverage teaching
resources across schools, campuses, districts and across the world.
39. Microsoft helps educators transform the classroom to create lifelong learners. Once you a technology
plan in place, transform teaching and learning within the school. Find resources you need to inspire
students, empower teachers, and inform IT staff.
41. Smart Healthcare
• Healthcare analytics turns data into clinical and business insights in real time
for point-of-care decisions and productivity. Forward-thinking organizations
are connecting their healthcare data, systems and processes to facilitate
secure communications and information sharing. IBM Smarter Cities
• Hospitals are under enormous pressure to keep their costs down and improve
the bottom line. They’re looking for ways to achieve greater operating
efficiency to reduce costs. And new revenue opportunities are also needed to
boost income. Patient satisfaction is also important, helping ensure that their
beds stay full. Solution: The “smart” bedside terminal can address most of
these challenges. This all-in-one device connects and integrates the hospital
information network, clinical services, patient entertainment, and
communication systems, enabling better and more efficient access at the
point of care. Intel Smart Cities
