Magyarország ad otthont a CLGE konferenciának

Az eseményre Domokos György (MFTTT) főszervező mai tájékoztatása szerint 2013. március 22-23-án kerül sor. Magyarország CLGE tagságát először évekkel ezelőtt a HUNAGI vetette fel az illetékes egyik hazai szakmai szervezet, az MFTTT számára de a  javaslatot az MFTTT, MFGVE és MMK GGT együttesen karolták fel és valósították meg.

ePSIplatform konferencia Varsóban 2013 február 22-én

Mai postánkból. Az ePSINetwork "közösségi pásztora" Tom Zijlstra írja:

"In this week before the holiday season starts, we would like to tell you about our upcoming ePSIplatform conference, and 2 other great events.

Come to the ePSIplatform 2013 Conference: "Gotcha -  getting everybody on board"

Last March the ePSIplatform 2012 Conference brought 60 speakers, over 300 participants from 40 countries to Rotterdam. On 22 February the 2013 ePSIplatform Conference is taking place in Warsaw, Poland. Join us for the European Open Data / PSI re-use event of the year! We have an exciting program (http://epsiplatform.eu/content/conference-program), with a wide variety of sessions, and we will be announcing speakers as they are confirmed. Our Polish partners Centrum Cyfrowe and the University of Warsaw (Cyber Law) and us will make sure you have an inspiring experience!

PSI re-use is in the process of reaching a certain degree of maturity and uptake. However, this uptake differs significantly between Member States, PSI domains and stakeholders. The ePSIplatform Conference will therefore be aimed at those that should embark, but have (partly) failed to do so far: "Gotcha! – getting everyone on board". 

If you would want to contribute to the program, let us know. There may be a session planned where you fit in, but there is also an "Open Mic" session, where the topics are not yet determined. Either way we look forward to hearing from you!

Register now for the ePSIplatform 2013 Conference!

Register now for free at http://epsiplatform.eu/register2013 and come to Warsaw on 22 February.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Warsaw for the ePSIplatform 2013 conference!

ePSIplatform workshop on the value of open data for the public sector

Want to spend a bit more time in Warsaw? Interested in how open data can be a policy instrument or a means for the public sector to save money? Join us for the half-day workshop on the value of open data to the public sector itself, on 21 February in Warsaw. This is the afternoon before the ePSIplatform 2013 conference. Space is limited, let us know in response to this e-mail if you are interested in joining this workshop! We will be publishing more information on this event soon.

International Open Data Day, join with a team in your city!

On Saturday 23 February 2013, teams in cities all over the world will work on bringing open data forward: by opening or improving data, or by building applications using open data, or raising awareness for open data. This is International Open Data Day (http://opendataday.org/) The ePSIplatform team is co-hosting a hack day in Warsaw on Open Data Day. Join us there if you are in town for the conference and workshop! Or join an event in your city!

What was your most noticeable open data experience in the last 2 weeks? Tell us!

A remark you heard a data holder make? Something you tried to do, or an interesting conclusion in a report? An app you came across? A legal or financial issue that you had to deal with? Tell us you experience, and tell us what aspects of it are important to you. Share your experience now athttp://epsiplatform.eu/content/share-your-story

The ePSIplatform team wishes you a great holiday season!

"OMB and Agencies Need to Make Coordination a Priority to Reduce Duplication

GAO-13-94, Nov 26, 2012

View report: http://www.gao.gov/assets/660/650293.pdf

While the President and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have established policies and procedures for coordinating investments in geospatial data, government-wide committees and federal departments and agencies have not effectively implemented them. The committee that was established to promote the coordination of geospatial data nationwide--the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)--has developed and endorsed key standards-- including a metadata standard that includes descriptive information about a particular set of geospatial data--and established a clearinghouse of metadata; however, the clearinghouse is not being used by agencies to identify planned geospatial investments to promote coordination and reduce duplication. The FGDC has not yet planned or implemented an approach to manage geospatial data as related groups of investments to allow agencies to more effectively plan geospatial data collection efforts and minimize duplicative investments; and its strategic plan is missing key elements, such as performance measures for many of its defined objectives. Further, none of the three federal departments in GAO's review have fully implemented important activities for coordinating geospatial data, such as preparing and implementing a strategy for advancing geospatial activities within their respective departments.

Further, the three agencies in GAO's review responsible for government-wide management of specific geospatial data have implemented some but not all important activities for coordinating the national coverage of specific geospatial data. For example, only one agency has developed a plan for the nationwide population of the datasets under its responsibility, and none of the agencies have developed a plan to develop standards that facilitate the collection and sharing of geospatial data. Finally, while OMB has oversight responsibilities for geospatial data, OMB staff members acknowledged that OMB does not have complete and reliable information to identify potentially duplicative geospatial investments.

FGDC, federal departments and agencies, and OMB have not yet fully implemented policies and procedures for coordinating geospatial investments because these efforts have not been a priority. As a result, efforts to acquire data are uncoordinated and the federal government is acquiring duplicative geospatial data. For example, three agencies are independently acquiring road data, which is reported to have resulted in millions of wasted taxpayers' dollars. Unless OMB, the FGDC, and federal departments and agencies decide that coordinating geospatial investments is a priority, this situation will likely continue.

Why GAO Did This Study

The federal government collects, maintains, and uses geospatial information--information linked to specific geographic locations--to support many functions, including national security and disaster response. In 2012, the Department of the Interior (Interior) estimated that the federal government invests billions of dollars on geospatial data annually, and that duplication is common. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which the federal government has established and effectively implemented policies and procedures for coordinating its geospatial investments and avoiding duplication. To do so, GAO focused on FGDC coordination activities; efforts within the departments of Commerce, the Interior, and Transportation; and OMB oversight. GAO reviewed FGDC and department documentation, such as policies, procedures, and strategic plans; OMB guidance and an executive order; and reports concerning duplicative investments.

What GAO Recommends

GAO is making recommendations aimed at improving coordination and reducing duplication, to include FGDC developing a national strategy for coordinating geospatial investments; federal agencies following federal guidance for managing geospatial investments; and OMB developing a mechanism to identify and report on geospatial investments. Two agencies and OMB generally agreed with GAO's recommendations and one agency neither agreed nor disagreed.

Személyiségi jogok és a globális változás

Mai postánkból. Roger Longhorn továbbította az EDRI tárgybeli hírlevelét.
"6. Privacy rights as a global challenge
=======================================================================

With more than 100 on-site participants and almost 4000 remote attendees
through the live webcast, the 2012 Public Voice Conference was, this
year again, a full success. The 2012 edition was held on 22 October 2012
in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in conjunction with the 34th International
Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners.

Civil society groups, privacy advocates, data protection and privacy
officials, technology experts and other professionals from different
countries and regions gathered to discuss “Privacy Rights as a Global
Challenge”, including current hot topics such as:
- international approaches to consumer privacy rights enforcement;
- preserving civic participation in public affairs through open
government and citizen engagement;
- cross cultural views on privacy, freedom of expression
and human rights on data collection, retention and use, where EDRi
observer Gus Hosein and EDRi member Meryem Marzouki took part.
Specific panels were also dedicated to identifying the next challenges
for digital privacy protection, taking the global temperature on
consumer and privacy protection and examining the relative merits and
flaws of legislations versus self regulations.

As usual, The Public Voice Conference Program Committee took care of
highlighting the regional situation taking into account the venue’s
country, while assessing at the same time global developments. A
specific panel, moderated by EDRi observer Cedric Laurant, on “Adoption
and Implementation of Latin America's Consumer and Privacy Protection
Laws” was dedicated to the former issue. The latter took the form of a
panel, moderated by EDRi member Meryem Marzouki, which assessed the 2009
Madrid Civil Society Privacy Declaration on “Global Privacy Standards
for a Global World” with regards to recent developments worldwide,
namely the mechanisms currently under consideration by the European
Union (with the new data protection framework proposal), the Asian
Pacific Economic Cooperation (with the implementation of the APEC
Privacy Framework), the Council of Europe (modernization of the CoE
Convention 108), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (revision of the OECD Privacy Guidelines), and the United
States as well (with the US White House plan for a Consumer privacy Bill
of Rights).

The Public Voice Conference is a main project of The Public Voice
Coalition, an international coalition of NGOs and civil society groups
established by the Electronic Privacy and Information Center (EPIC)
since 1996 to promote public participation in decisions concerning the
future of the Internet. Numerous EDRi members and observers are part of
this global coalition, of which EDRi itself is an active member.

Other EDRi members and observers also took part in the following event:
the 34th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy
Commissioner.

Javier Ruiz Diaz from EDRi member Open Rights Group (UK) participated in
the Open Data & Privacy panel, where he highlighted some of the
problematic issues ORG has learned from UK experience on open data,
criticising the widespread belief that anonymisation is the easy
solution for open data and privacy. He also highlighted that
anonymisation needs open peer review and responsible disclosure.

Bogdan Manolea from EDRi member ApTI (Romania) represented EDRi at the
"Privacy and Piracy" panel where he focused on the challenges to privacy
of Intellectual Property Enforcement measures and reminded that
ACTA will not be the last attempt to privatise online enforcement in
Europe. He also took the opportunity to highlight EDRi's work on the
guide to the EU Date Protection Regulation available at
Protectmydata.eu.

EDRi Observer Gus Hosein, took part in the panel focused on the privacy
implications of biometric data. He underlined that these days the
biometric technology is being used extensively in the developing world
by governments and relief agencies, including in refugee camps and for
voter registration purposes.

Next year, The Public Voice Conference will come to Europe, in
conjunction with the 35th International Data Protection and Privacy
Commissioners conference, to be held on 24-27 September 2013 in Warsaw,
Poland.

"Geographic Information Ethics and GIScience"

Following successful sessions at the 2009-2011 AAG meetings on ethics and GIScience, we are organizing sessions to continue and expand discussions of this important topic. Ethical engagements with the multitude of GIS applications and uses, whether surreptitious or overt, have marked recent developments in the field. Indeed, the variety ofapplications of geographic information science & technology (GIS&T) has led the U.S. Department of Labor to highlight geospatial/geospatial technologies as the third largest high-growth job field for the 21^st century.While the potential benefits and risks of geographic technologies are becoming well known, the session provides a forum to engage ethical issues. For instance:

• geographic technologies are surveillance technologies. The data they produce may be used to invade the privacy, and even the autonomy, of individuals and groups;
• data gathered using geographic technologies are used to make policy decisions. Erroneous, inadequately documented, or inappropriate data can have grave consequences for individuals and the environment;
• geographic technologies have the potential to exacerbate inequities in society, insofar as large organizations enjoy greater access to technology, data, and technological expertise than smaller organizations and individuals;
• georeferenced photos, tweets and volunteered (and unvolunteered) geographic information can reveal private information. Thosedata that are increasingly publically available and used to study societal phenomena raise significant privacy concerns.

Papers in this session engaged with the above issues in relationship to GIScience, including such topics as:

• case studies, curriculum development, or the pedagogy of teaching GIS ethical issues;
• issues of privacy, surveillance, inequity, erroneous or inappropriate data concerning geographic technologies;
• codes of ethics and conduct of professional organizations;
• GIS professional development;
• reflections on the changing nature of ethical issues in GIS&T.

These sessions are co-sponsored by the AAG GI Systems & Science and Ethics, Justice, and Human Rights Specialty Groups.

To participate:

1. Please register for the AAG 2013 meeting and submit your abstract online following the AAG Guidelines (www.aag.or/cs/anualmeeting/call_for_papers);
2. Please send your paper title, PIN, and abstract no later than Wednesday, October 20 to Rodolphe Devillers rdeville@mun.ca, Francis Harvey fharvey@umn.edu, or Dawn Wright dwright@esri.com

Digital Earth from vision to practice: making sense of citizen-generated content

International Journal of Digital Earth
Volume 5, Issue 5, 2012

Abstract
The vision of Digital Earth (DE) put recently forward under the auspices of the International Society for DE extends the paradigm of spatial data infrastructures by advocating an interactive and dynamic framework based on near-to-real time information from sensors and citizens. This paper contributes to developing that vision and reports the results of a two-year research project exploring the extent to which it is possible to extract information useful for policy and science from the large volumes of messages and photos being posted daily through social networks. Given the noted concerns about the quality of such data in relation to that provided by authoritative sources, the research has developed a semi-automatic workflow to assess the fitness for purpose of data extracted from Twitter and Flickr, and compared them to that coming from official sources, using forest fires as a case study. The findings indicate that we were able to detect accurately six of eight major fires in France in the summer of 2011, with another four detected by the social networks but not reported by our official source, the European Forest Fire Information Service. These findings and the lessons learned in handling the very large volumes of unstructured data in multiple languages discussed in this study provide useful insights into the value of social network data for policy and science, and contribute to advancing the vision of DE.

Keywords: Digital Earth, social networks, volunteered geographic information, data quality

LAPSI 2.0 várhatóan októberben indul

A ma publikus információ a LAPSI 2.0 projektről a következő:

"EUROGI has been involved in the preparation of various proposals for the CIT ICT PSP CALL 2012.

The following proposals have been accepted:

CIT ICT PSP CALL 2012

LAPSI 2.0 : Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information 2.0

(ICT-PSP-CIP1 – thematic network – Open data and open access to scientific information – c) Legal aspects of public sector information : the project has been submitted 15/05/2012);

The objective of the LAPSI 2.0 thematic network is to identify the legal barriers and obstacles to access and re-use of public sector information (PSI) on the European content market, and to provide measures and tools to overcome or reduce these barriers and to stimulate the progress of the European market towards open data. LAPSI 2.0 brings together academic experts with stakeholders from the public and private sector in order to provide clear insights in the remaining legal issues with regard to access to data, intellectual property rights and competition, institutional embedding and enforcement, and licensing frameworks. It will build on the results of and lessons learned in the existing LAPSI thematic network, and consolidate LAPSI’s position as the forum par excellence for consensus building on legal aspects relating to PSI and open data."
