Dear SMW users and developers, Many SMWs are used for sharing public sector information. A nice example is the Vienna History Wiki [1].
The third workshop on sharing public sector information [2] will be from 16 - 17 March 2015 in Timisoara, Romania, hosted by the West University. Great for networking and sharing experiences about Open Data. I would be happy to see you, there. If you have any questions, let me know. Best, Benedikt [1] https://www.wien.gv.at/wiki/index.php/Vienna_History_Wiki [2]----------------- Timişoara Workshop: Open Data Priorities and Engagement - Identifying data sets for publication Questions we'd like to address include, but are not limited to: On dataset priorities What are the key criteria for prioritising datasets for publication? How can the priorities of the producers and the users be balanced when selecting datasets for publication? Should producers of the same category (e.g. municipalities or local governments) publish a common set of datasets (e.g. budgetary data, public transport data etc.)? If yes, how should this common set of dataset should be identified and how can these datasets be provided in a coherent and interoperable manner? Should the potential for reuse, both for commercial and non-commercial purposes, play a role in the section process? If so, how can this potential be measured and/or evaluated? How do you create synergies and avoid redundant efforts when establishing and maintaining an overview/inventory of the data in the organisation? And how is this coordinated across different teams working on, for instance, open data, information security, archiving, performance reporting, knowledge management etc. On engagement How can public bodies engage the potential reusers of their data? What methods are available to reusers of your data to send you feedback about your data? How do you handle feedback received so as to improve your data? Should data producers track use of, and demand for, data? If so, how? How does data visualisation foster participation in political and social life, and increase transparency of government? Related Questions How can/should public authorities respond to community efforts to crowd source data that replicates official data that is not open? (e.g. address data) What could be the role of standard disclaimers or positive statements (sometimes known as 'proclaimers') to communicate the extent to which data can be guaranteed to be complete? What quality aspects need to be considered for different types of data? What are the challenges and possible solutions for the persistent maintenance of data over time?
