[open-development] Special Issue on Open Government Data - Journal of Community Informatics

Thu Apr 12 18:37:43 UTC 2012

Hello all,

The Journal of Community Informatics has just published its latest issue at
http://ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej/issue/view/41 focussing on Open
Government Data. The table of contents is below. I've been involved in
co-editing the issue along with Zainab Bawa. JCI is an open access journal,
with all the papers available as HTML online.

The papers and notes in this issue seek to make a constructive contribution
to the developing debates and practices of Open Government Data - looking
at issues of politics and power alongside issues of technical architecture,
and drawing on empirical research into open data in practice at national,
regional or local levels. A number highlight key challenges that open
government data policy and practice will need to engage with in coming
years.

This issue is being published as a rolling issue, with an initial set of
papers made available in April 2012, and a further set of papers (currently
going through the review process), and field notes (responding to emerging
themes) to be published later in the year, so look out for updates.

All best wishes

Tim Davies
