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

Megújult az ePSIplatform

Ma érkezett! A HUNAGI postájából.

“We are pleased to announce the launch of the renewed ePSIplatform!

The team wanted to give more visibility to PSI Re-use and Open Data initiatives around Europe, whilst also enhancing the overall user experience. The renewed ePSIplatform, now has a restructured and redesigned web interface and as well as some additional features to improve navigation and searching.

What’s new?

Firstly, a THEMES section has been created, which structures content by its relevant field, such as Health, Education, Environment and Transport. This allows users who have a specific interest or area of expertise to easily find what they are looking for. This section also increases the visibility of the content proposed by our users.

The COMMUNITY section is a designated area to showcase our members and welcome external contributions from our growing audience. You can also have your own PSI Re-use and Open Data questions answered by using our ‘Ask an expert’ feature, which is also available on the homepage.

All of the News, Cases, Topic Reports and Resources on the platform can now be found in the KNOWLEDGEBASE section.

For those of you who have user accounts on the previous ePSIplatform, your profile and login credentials will remain the same.

We hope that you will continue to contribute to the newly renovated website and we look forward to welcoming your feedback!

Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Google ⁺ for regular updates. 

Best regards,

The ePSIplatform team”

1st LAPSI 2.0 conference: The new PSI directive: what’s next?
24 October 2013

Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The LAPSI 2.0 Thematic Network will hold its 1st conference in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

 

LAPSI (Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information) 2.0 is a Thematic Network funded by the European Commission under the 2007-2013 Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme 2007-2013. LAPSI 2.0’s objective is to identify the remaining legal barriers and obstacles to access and re-use of public sector information (PSI) on the European content market, and to propose measures and tools to stimulate the progress of the European market towards open data. It will build on the policy recommendations made by the first LAPSI network to provide guidance and advice on how to overcome the legal obstacles hindering the development of the open data ecosystem.

 

With the new PSI directive as its central theme, the LAPSI 2.0 conference will be the event of the year for interested in legal issues relating to PSI and open data. So if you will be involved in or impacted by the new directive, you should be there! You can expect highly interactive and stimulating sessions about the impact of the directive in the field, the implications of the directive for the cultural sector, licensing, privacy, and the best ways to ensure compliance.
A draft programme of the conference can be found here: http://www.lapsi-project.eu/lapsi-20-conferences

Locationomics - a helyadatok értéke

HUNAGI mai postájából. Roger Longhorn írja a GSDI szakbizottsági portálján:

"Locationomics - the Value of Location In a recent article by Jim Warner, COO of the Location Forum, published in the the LBx Journal online (see http://www.lbxjournal.com/articles/locationomics/260449), Warner defines location data as "the basis for location-based services and applications, … any data with an implicit or explicit geographic or geospatial reference. This includes any data derived from GPS and mobile devices, geo-tagged or geo-referenced images, video, audio, and text documents, satellite and aerial imagery, maps and GIS systems, IP address location, location-based applications, and address information from public documents, surveys, or product registrations." Warner says that this is "a much broader definition than the spectrum of services identified by Google" in the reports they commissioned from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Oxera "to place a monetary figure on the geo-services economy. BCG estimated the U.S. geospatial industry generated $73 billion in revenues and 500,000 high-wage jobs. Oxera estimated that globally the geospatial industry contributes to $274 billion in revenues across the value chain of companies, governments, and individuals who utilize geo-services." Using Warner's definition, " the vast majority of data an organization touches are location-based or have a location component, which means that every business process is location-based. Not everyone realizes that yet. Welcome to the world of Locationomics." Read the full article here. http://www.lbxjournal.com/articles/locationomics/260449 ========================= Roger Longhorn Communications Director, GSDI Associationwww.gsdi.orgral@alum.mit.edu " Rogern Longhorn a szöveget még kiegészítette néhány fontos európai vonatkozással: "GSDI Association member EuroGeographics, along with 29 partners, including 15 of Europe's geodetic, cadastre, land registry and mapping authorities are combining their knowledge skills and experience to deliver the European Location Framework (E.L.F.). The project to initiate the first phase, supported with funding from the European Commission, started on 1 March 2013. More information from the project website below: http://www.elfproject.eu At the same time, the European Union is establishing the European Union Location Framework (E.U.L.F.) under its ISA programme - Interoperability Solutios for European Public Administrations - trying to build on the significant work being undertaken in creating a fully harmonised and interoperable pan-European (28 EU Member States) SDI - the INSPIRE initiative.
