----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EDF is the annual meeting-point for data practitioners from industry,
research, the public-sector and community initiatives, to discuss the opportunities
and challenges of the emerging Data Economy in Europe. EDF14 will be opened by a
welcome of Neelie Kroes (Vice President of the European Commission, in charge of
the Digital Agenda), as well as by by Prof. Giorgos Kaminis (Mayor of Athens and
former Greek Ombudsman) as well as a representative of the Greek Government.
EDF 2014 comprises keynotes from global experts in the field, submitted
presentations by participants, an executive panel on Big Data as well as
a panel on Open Data Business & Innovation and a 2-day exhibition.
It concentrates on recent developments such as Open Data, Linked Data and
Big Data and balances technical, application and socio-economic issues.
The aim of the forum is to bring together all stakeholders involved in the
data value chain to exchange ideas in order to strengthen the European data
economy and its positioning worldwide. Discussions at EDF 2014 will also
provide input to research, development, and policy activities at the
European Commission (e.g., Horizon 2020) and those of the EU member states,
with the aim of influencing the development of the new European data economy.
Proposals for presentations should be submitted as a single PDF file at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edf2014. If you experience any
difficulties using the submission system, please send the proposal via e-mail
to edf2014 at data-forum.eu. Proposals will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee
