The document discusses transparency and open government in the Basque Country. It summarizes the vision of Patxi Lopez, who wants citizens to be adults that think for themselves rather than being led by political parties. It then describes Irekia, a set of tools for opening up governments through transparency, participation, and collaboration. Irekia's model for opening data focuses on freely reusable data without fees. The document calls for transparency to become a value, attitude, behavior, and routine through changes inside governments and new procedures, laws, and technology. It provides guidelines for responsive governance through language, storytelling, accountability, listening, ubiquity, face-to-face interaction, and 24/7 availability. The overall goal is empowering

Data is becoming a new source of contentions in the current networked information environments. Ambiguity about ownership and rights, fear about loss and abuse, and the increased velocity of its generation and circulation, these and other factors contribute to an uneasy relation between oneself and the data one is involved in its production, consumption, and dissemination. Cultural institutions such as libraries and museums are curators of artifacts, and are now much involved in the digitization of their content collections. Output from these digitization efforts can be simply viewed as data. What can and shall libraries and museums do with it? Open data is a technological and social trend in publishing, sharing, and linking data online. Several actors in the library, archive and museum (LAM) community have been using techniques and practices of Linking Open Data (LOD) in making their collections readily available and linkable on the web. In this talk, we will review some of the practices in the LOD-LAM community, and plan to involve the audience with a discussion on what open data is,and what cultural institutions are for.

42 Voices About Open Government - English versionMegan Eskey
The English-language translation of the Open Government project by XIP (Public Innovation Network) in Barcelona, Spain. The articles written by 42 experts are an important source of knowledge for the worldwide Open Government community, and are already the context for debate in administrations and governments in Spanish- and Catalan-speaking communities. Many of the experts are from Spain and remember Franco, so there is a clear anti-fascist subtext, in addition to the primary pro-democracy, pro-OpenGov message. The translation was funded via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that was synched with ISS Expedition 42. 42 is a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/42-voices-about-open-government--43#/story
The paper aims at exploring the consequences of the gradually increasing availability of Open Data for evaluation as we know it. Using concepts from the literature on evaluation and democracy, it contends that new technologies both require a new behavior by evaluators and open up possibilities in the very framework in which evaluation is done.
The pressure to open up data changes the way governments and public sector offices conceptualize, produce, and disseminate data. Responding to this demand requires that internal procedures change in fundamental, still partially unexplored ways.
Issues arise also for citizens seeking information. They face a rapid growth of internet-based sources, which both creates opportunities for research and difficulties in assessing data quality, credibility, and usability.
It also implies that public interventions--be they programmes, projects, or services--are open to public scrutiny of a new, more informed type. It increasingly involves expert, non-expert, and differently-expert scrutiny.
It is highly unlikely that Open Data will ever provide all--or even most--information needed for an evaluation. There is a risk that, in addition to opening up new research avenues and framing new evaluation questions by new actors, the availability of great masses of data on public policies obscures the need to directly observe effects and to build credible theories about phenomena.
The very existence of open data, and the possibilities they open up to public scrutiny call into question the role of internal and external evaluators. This is even more so when thinking of the opportunities opened by the ability to conjure collective intelligence in evaluation processes--using concepts already developed in the participation tradition.
The paper explores these themes based on an on-going research project. The two authors are involved in the Open Data movement in Italy and will advance their research during the next months through their work, research on existing literature, and holding workshops (e.g. within the Sapienza Seminar on Classic Evaluation Theorists).

Transparency in an actual Open Government: the Basque experience
1. Transparency in an actual
Open Government:
the Basque experience
Alberto Ortiz de Zarate @alorza
Nagore de los Ríos @nagodelos
2. “In the Basque Country that I want, the citizen is an
adult one who is able to think, decide and take
responsibility by participating in the joint
construction of the country.
And I want to stress this: the times when citizens
were treated like children who are led by the hand,
who are told what to do are over. The days when
people look to the politic parties or public institutions
to know where to walk have come to an end.”
Patxi Lopez, January 14, 2010
“A new social contract between Basques”
http://www.slideshare.net/Irekia/100114-contrato-social-kontratu-sozial
3. Irekia:
a set of tools for opening up governments
Transparency: the information, all the
information and nothing but the true
information
Participation: not only on government’s
platform, but all around the internet
Collaboration: jointly building the welfare
and taking care of the commons
4. Our model for opening data
#1: No documents, but data
#2: No authorizations, but free reuse
#3: Information: better on-offer than on-
demand
#4: No fees, but free
#5: Not technology-driven, but reuse-driven
#6: Sustainably based on web content
5. Change inside!
Transparency as a value:
transparency = obscenity x clarity
Transparency as an attitude:
changing minds for changing ways
Transparency as a behavior:
from head to toe
Transparency as a routine:
new procedures, laws and technology
6. Guidelines for a responsive governance
Language
Storytelling
Accountabilit
y
Listening
Ubiquity
Face-to-face
24/7
Our region’s President is giving a strong support to the Open Government strategy, and to this project. I want to quote 2 paragraphs from a speech at the beginning of 2010.
The new communication guidelines are: Language: clear and simple, conversational. Storytelling: providing context and graphic expressions to the data in order to explain the story. Accountability: You can be sure that the one in charge is answering you. Not just a community manager. Listening is more important than talking. Ubiquity: people are talking everywhere all the time; the place is the world. Face-to-face: the officials show their face, name and contact details. 24/7 availability. Using mobile devices to respond in minutes, not in days This communication must always be supported by data. Everyone has an opinion, but facts are facts. Nowadays, Government should directly link the headlines and the data sources.
