Call for Papers: JeDEM Special Issue on Open Government Data and Open Policies

Submission deadline: 30 July 2014

In efforts to increase openness, transparency and participation, governments around the world have drafted Open Government policies and established Open Data as an integral part of modern administration. Open data and public sector information has been held out as a powerful resource to support good governance, improve public services, engage citizens, and stimulate economic growth. The promises have been high, but the results have been modest so far and more and there are more and more critical sounds.  Policies have not resulted in gaining the desired benefits and implementations have been criticized for its technology orientation and neglecting the user perspective. These policies and implementations are now under scrutiny, with important questions to be asked about: whether the results justify the efforts; about how different outcomes from open data can be secured; and who is benefiting from open data in different countries and contexts?

JeDEM Journal for eDemocracy is inviting submissions to the following topics:

Ongoing and finished projects using open government data: benefits, opportunities and challenges;

Innovation and efficiency use-cases of open data within government;

Visualisation, simulation and gamification that seeks to reduce the complexity of open government data;

Smart cities, smart regions and the enabling effects of open data

Economic aspect of open data: including open data business models

Encouraging data usage by commercial and non-profit developers;

Policies for stimulating use, institutional arrangements

Political and legal aspects of open data, including it’s relationship with Right to Information/Freedom of Information policies;

Privacy and open data: tensions between open government data and citizen’s privacy rights;

Global perspectives: open data as a phenomenon of developed countries, or a global phenomena? Differences and similarities across countries, cities and regions.

The impact of open data on the public sector workplace of the future: personal opinions and a human-face vs. administrative decisions and procedures.

Open data shifting boundaries at the intersection of public administration and public sphere: citizens as public agents and civil servants as member of the community

Open data infrastructures, ontologies, methods and tools and their impact

Open data is both a social and technical phenomena, and studies are needed that explore the interaction of technology and policy. Many national data portals from Germany and Austria to the USA and the Philippines, already adhere to agreed meta data standards for describing data, and the G8 Open Data Charter has committed members to harmonising meta-data. However, open online data by its nature makes not halt at national or organisational boundaries. To deliver on the European Digital Agenda 2020 vision of digital common market, the UN vision of a post-2015 ‘data revolution’ enabling greater coordination, of the goal of advocacy organisations in joining up data from across countries to track financial flows and to root out corruption, it needs to be easier to join up data across countries. The European Commission has already elaborated a meta data description to help bridge data from different EU member states administrations and to mitigate language barriers of data descriptions, and efforts are ongoing to develop a wide range of open data standards, covering issues from aid and public contracting, to parliamentary records and public transport timetables. This accumulated knowledge is collected by the SharePSI-project and should inform the W3C working group Data on the Web. Increasing open data interoperability is an ongoing and current challenge which administrations worldwide have to deal with.

Therefore this issue of JeDEM is additionally calling for submissions in these areas:

Requirements, costs & benefits, as well as evaluation, of existing standardisation efforts: including a focus on metadata, naming schemes, and URI schemes;

Procedures for publishing open data, including identification of data, preparation of data, and handover from internal departments to Open Data Portals;

Efforts for interoperability of open datasets, including extending existing core vocabularies;

The impacts of open data interoperability demands on internal organisational change and processes;

The connections or conflicts between technical requirements from developers and other re-users of data, vis-a-vis the data currently supplied through Open Data Portals;

Legal standardisation, licensing and liability – and their impact on developer and other third-party re-use of data

Author guidelines

Length of paper: 7,500-12,000 words, all drafts have to be typed double-spaced, the format has to be Word for processing reasons.

JeDEM encourages scientific papers as well as case studies, project descriptions and reflections. More guidelines for authors and Word template can be found here: http://www.jedem.org/about/submissions#authorGuidelines

Submission deadline: 30 July 2014

Licensing and the public domain

April 21, 2014 Jill Clark

A central theme in the GIS Guide to Public Domain Data is data licensing; the emergence of licensing frameworks for spatial data, the types of licenses that are available for data producers and users, and what is means to place data in the public domain. Despite much attention there is as yet no universally accepted definition of the term ‘public domain’. A number of organisations have posted their own interpretations, including:
US Copyright Office: The public domain is not a place. A work of authorship is in the ‘public domain’ if it is no longer under copyright protection or if it failed to meet the requirements for copyright protection. Works in the public domain may be used freely without the permission of the former copyright owner.
UK’s Intellectual Property Office: The body of works not or no longer protected by Intellectual Property rights which are available for the public to use without seeking permission or paying royalties.
Creative Commons: When a work is in the public domain, it is free for use by anyone for any purpose without restriction under copyright law. Public domain is the purest form of open/free, since no one owns or controls the material in any way.
Common to all these definitions are the freedom from royalty payments and the absence of intellectual property rights and copyright restrictions on the use and reuse of the data. During the recent State of the Map US conference in Washington DC, some of the lingering issues regarding data licensing for spatial data were raised again. In his presentation on OpenStreetMap (OSM) Alex Barth of Mapbox discussed some of the current licensing challenges facing the current and future use of OSM data.
OSM data is open data licensed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL), and the cartography in the map tiles and the documentation are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license (CC BY-SA). Common to both licensing frameworks is the share-alike clause that means any OSM data that is updated and improved, or third party data remixed with OSM data, must be shared under the same licensing terms.
For some organisations integrating OSM data with their own private data, or organisations who are mandated to make their data available in the public domain (for example the US Geological Survey), wider use of this data resource is not an option and the benefits of crowd-sourced, free and open datasets like OSM will never be fully realised. For many observers, the only sensible long-term option is dropping the share-alike clause from the OSM licensing arrangements. For others, designation as a public domain data set is the solution. It remains to be seen which licensing path the OpenStreetMap community will choose.

Public sector information reuse across Europe: Patterns in policy-making from an organizational perspective

Journal of E-Governance, Volume 36, Number 4 (2013), Pages 198-211 

Authors: Henk Koerten, Marcel Veenswijk

Abstract

The success of Google Maps suggests that free access to public sector information (PSI) contributes to a prosperous economy. Although considerable attention has been paid to the legal and economic aspects of policies on public sector information (PSI), also known as open data (OD), the organizational consequences regarding the nature and shape of the public sector are rarely anticipated. We develop a framework to analyse organizational settings by comparing policies and outcomes of PSI reuse in EU member states. In many discussions on PSI reuse, government is treated as a unitary phenomenon with a single voice. We found considerable differences among EU member states concerning the implementation of PSI policies and indications that they are connected with the nature of the public sector in a specific state. Therefore we suggest that policies on PSI reuse to stimulate economic prosperity should be developed which take the specific national setting into consideration. When national government develops policies aimed simply at disclosing PSI without paying attention to the development of PSI reuse arenas, it runs the risk of unleashing narratives of control within the public sector, preventing them from releasing the innovative potential that PSI reuse intrinsically possesses.

Keywords: Public sector information reuse, Europe, public administration, organizational change

CODATHON – Open Data for Development Challenge 

January 27-28, 2014

Montreal, Canada

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) will be hosting this 2-day event bringing together Canadian and international technical experts and policy makers to generate new tools and ideas in open data and aid transparency, and contributing to innovative solutions to the world's pressing development challenges. The event will take the form of a "codathon", and focus on data, policy, and technical questions related to aid transparency.

Technical challenges will involve building on open aid data, development-related datasets (e.g. national indicators, trade flows) and other data to build applications that help deliver better development results. Proposed topics for the policy stream include the use of open data in decision-making, the impact of open data in developing countries and an in-depth look at geospatial data.

Canada is committed to open data, aid transparency and accountability, as demonstrated through its engagement in key initiatives such as the G8 Open Data Charter, the Open Government Partnership and the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI). The Open Data for Development Challenge will build on DFATD’s commitment to aid transparency and its efforts to make data on Canada’s international development assistance open and accessible.

Additional information on the Open Data for Development Challenge including registration is available on the event's website: Developers for Development, http://www.open-dev-ouvert.ca/

The Open Data for Development Challenge will take place in the same venue as the IATI TAG event (which will be on January 29-30, 2014), http://www.aidtransparency.net/governance/tag/tag-meeting-2014
