CfP: Open Data Track – 2014 Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government

by Tim Davies on September 20, 2013

I’m co-chairing a track on ‘Open Data, Transparency and Open
Innovation‘ at the nextCeDEM Conference for E Democracy and Open
Government, taking place at Danube University Krems in May next year.

The full call for papers and submission details can be found here, and
the details of the Open Data Track are below:

Open Data, Transparency and Open Innovation

Chairs: Johann Höchtl (Danube University Krems, AT), Ina
Schieferdecker (Frauenhofer, DE), Tim Davies (University of
Southampton, UK)

Open data can provide a platform for many forms of democratic
engagement: from enabling citizen scrutiny of  governments, to
supporting co-production of public data and services, or the emergence
of innovative solutions to shared problems. This track will explore
the opportunities and challenges for open data production, quality
assurance, supply and use across different levels of governance. Key
themes include:

Open data policy and politics: opportunities and challenges for
governments; the global spread of open data policy; transparency and
accountability, economic innovation, drivers for open data; benefits
and challenges for developing countries.
Licensing and legal issues: copyright vs. open licenses & creative
commons; Freedom of Information and the ‘right to data’; information
sharing and privacy.
Open data technologies: technical frameworks for data and meta-data;
mash-ups; data formats, standards and APIs; integration into backend
systems; data visualisation; data end-users and intermediaries;
Open innovation and co-production: open data enabled models of public
service provision; government as a platform; making open data
innovation sustainable; data and democracy; connecting open data and
crowdsourcing; data and information literacy;
Evidence and impacts: costs and benefits of providing or using open
data; emerging good practices; methods for open data research;
empirical data measuring open data impacts

Submissions are due by 6th December 2013.
