Oggetto: W3C/EC Workshop: Using Open Data:  policy modeling, citizen
empowerment,  data journalism

For many years, W3C has been a keen promoter of Open Data, fostering a
culture in which public administrations make their data available,
ideally in machine processable formats. Many governments have embraced
the idea with enthusiasm, setting up national data portals.

As part of the FP7-funded Crossover Project [1], W3C and the European
Commission are running a workshop in June, just ahead of the Digital
Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what is all the 'new'
government open data being used for?

To be held in the prestigious Berlaymont building, headquarters of the
European Commission, the workshop will focus solely on uses of open
data, not its publication. In particular, the workshop will highlight
uses of data for tools that aid policy modelling, for citizen
empowerment and in data journalism.

I would be grateful for any forwarding, Tweeting or other broadcast of
this announcement. Thank you.
