Call for Participation
Uses of Open Data Within Government
for Innovation and Efficiency
Samos, Greece
30 June - 1 July 2014
You are warmly invited to participate in the first of a series of
workshops being organised during this year and next by the Share-PSI 2.0
Thematic Network [1]. Partners from 25 countries are working on issues
surrounding the implementation of the European Commission's revised PSI
Directive and this will feed into the W3C Data on the Web Best Practices
Working Group [2].
We're beginning with "Uses of Open Data Within Government for Innovation
and Efficiency" [3] - i.e. we're looking for cases where opening data
has made it easier for government departments (local or national) to do
their job better. What worked? What didn't work? What lessons can you
share with others? What would most help you benefit from other people's
work?
The workshop is taking place as part of the 5th Samos Summit on
ICT-Enabled Governance [4] which means participants can look forward to
spending time on a beautiful island in the Aegean sea, formerly the home
of Pythagoras.
Entry is by position paper which should not be a full academic paper,
rather, a short description of what you'd like to talk about.
Deadline for submissions: 13 April
Notification of acceptance: 1 May
