Short presentation of the track 'Emerging Topics in E-Democracy and Open Government' within the International Conference on E-Democracy and Open Government (CeDEM17).
Presented at CeDEM17, 17-19 May 2017, Danube University Krems, Austria
The document discusses the need for a conceptual framework to support the broad adoption and development of digital democracy or "e-democracy". It notes the urgency to implement information and communication technologies more widely in democratic processes given projected reductions in government workforces and budgets. However, developing high-quality e-democracy solutions is challenging. The authors propose a conceptual framework that maps democratic processes onto information processes to help stimulate faster and better quality development of e-democracy solutions. This framework would decompose democracy into functional steps like informing, deliberating, and decision-making.
The eSociety Institute conducts conceptual, exploratory research projects and innovation trajectories to develop a strategy for a national digital society using an integral approach to equip digital citizens. The institute partners with various government organizations, research platforms, and educational institutions. Key research areas include e-government, e-health, open data, and citizen information management to support an active, participatory digital society.
Digital ready policymaking and the digital screening process(1)PanagiotisKeramidis
This document outlines digital screening of policy initiatives by the European Commission to ensure they are digital-ready. It discusses screening policy initiatives across the entire policy cycle to identify how technology converges with legislation. The digital screening process involves assessing initiatives based on dimensions like EU priorities, interoperability, and legal environment. Over 400 initiatives have been screened, resulting in benefits like ex-ante evaluation and fostering interoperability and digital transformation among EU digital policies and standards. Future areas of focus include applying artificial intelligence and expanding the methodology to other thematic areas.
Presentation #2:Open/Big Urban DataLessons Learned from the Programmable City ProjectMansion House, Dublin, May 9th, 201810am-2pmhttp://progcity.maynoothuniversity.ie/2018/03/lessons-for-smart-cities-from-the-programmable-city-project/
This document analyzes several successful data ecosystems through interviews and case studies to identify recommendations for establishing sustainable data ecosystems. It examines local, geospatial, supply chain, agriculture, and disaster management data ecosystems. Key findings include the importance of collaborative governance, distributing value among stakeholders, technical standards, and long-term engagement. The analysis finds that an ecosystem approach to data development is effective and orchestration is crucial for self-sustainability while avoiding new data silos.
This document discusses responsible digital transformations (RDTs) and the Centre for Digital Transformation (CeDiT) at the University of Agder in Norway. CeDiT brings together various disciplines like information systems, political science, and anthropology to study the societal impacts of digitalization. While digital technologies can advance human rights, they are also misused and contribute to issues like resource depletion. CeDiT aims to further understanding of digital transformations' consequences and identify approaches for developing technologies responsibly. The center will explore topics like sustainability, digital government, and smart cities through potential project collaborations.

Amanda Meng at ODHK meet.29: Open Government Data & Social ImpactScott Edmunds
This document summarizes Amanda Meng's research on how social movements use open government data for advocacy. The research focuses on open data and information and communication technologies to promote democracy. Meng's research question examines how social movements use open government data as an advocacy tool. Her research design involves a comparative case study using qualitative process tracing of open data initiatives in the Dominican Republic from 2009-2012, Chile from 2011-2014, and Hong Kong in 2014. Preliminary evidence suggests open data was used to increase public education spending in the Dominican Republic and reform education in Chile.

This document discusses the challenges of governance in a complex world and proposes research directions for ICT-enabled governance. It notes that society is increasingly fast-changing while governance remains siloed and linear. This creates a gap between society and governance. It proposes that by 2020, policy-making could involve more collaborative and data-driven approaches utilizing modeling, simulation, and collective intelligence tools. Key research challenges include developing integrated and reusable models simulating large societal phenomena, facilitating collaborative modeling between citizens and groups, and ensuring real-time open government data. The document outlines several European research projects exploring these directions to support more evidence-based and participatory decision-making.
Simon Delakorda from the Institute for Electronic Participation in Slovenia presented on establishing and facilitating deliberative internet public debates. Some of the key issues discussed included how to moderate debates without censorship, ensuring legitimacy and inclusiveness, addressing privacy concerns for participants, and getting policymakers to include the results of internet debates in adopted legislation. Delakorda argued that internet debates can increase visibility, legitimacy, and participation for NGOs, but present challenges around resources, expertise, and ensuring impact. Active moderation, unbiased reporting, and follow up are important to maximize the democratic potential of online debates.
From Aspiration to Reality: Open Smart Cities
Open smart cities might become a reality for Canada. Globally there are a number of initiatives, programs, and practices that are open smart city like which means that it is possible to have an open, responsive and engaged city that is both socio-technologically enabled, but also one where there is receptivity to and a willingness to grow a critically informed type of technological citizenship (Feenberg). For an open smart city to exist, public officials, the private sector, scholars, civil society and residents and citizens require a definition and a guide to start the exercise of imagining what an open smart city might look like. There is much critical scholarship about the smart city and there are many counter smart city narratives, but there are few depictions of what engagement, participatory design and technological leadership might be. The few examples that do exist are project based and few are systemic. An open smart city definition and guide was therefore created by a group of stakeholders in such a way that it can be used as the basis for the design of an open smart city from the ground up, or to help actors shape or steer the course of emerging or ongoing data and networked urbanist forms (Kitchin) of smart cities to lead them towards being open, engaged and receptive to technological citizenship.
This talk will discuss some of the successes resulting from this Open Smart Cities work, which might also be called a form or engaged scholarship. For example the language for the call for tender of the Infrastructure Canada Smart City Challenge was modified to include as a requisite that engagement and openness be part of the submissions from communities. Also, those involved with the guide have been writing policy articles that critique either AI or the smart city while also offering examples of what is possible. These articles are being read by proponents of Sidewalk Labs in Toronto. Also, the global Open Data Conference held in Argentina in September of 2018 hosted a full workshop on Open Smart Cities and finally Open North is working toward developing key performance indicators to assess those shortlisted by Infrastructure Canada and to help those communities develop an Open Smart Cities submission. The objective of the talk is to demonstrate that it is actually possible to shift public policy on large infrastructure projects, at least, in the short term.

Abstract:
In a technological society such as Canada, it is suggested that a specialized kind of expert citizenship is needed (Andrew Feenberg). In the era of big data, others suggest that there is a need to learn how to read algorithms and to study its high priests and alchemists (Genevieve Bell). While, doing citizenship requires a political ethics of technology to thwart technological and quantitative fundamentalism (Darin Barney). Finally, in the midst of a data revolution we need to critically re-conceptualize data (Rob Kitchin). Quite simply, in today's Canada doing citizenship requires data literacy, technical, philosophical and political. Access to print media - books, government documents, academic journals - in libraries and archives enabled a literate society, the prerequisite of a democratic system. I argue that good governance in knowledge producing institutions, is to have technological experts, both data creators and preservers, working to store, manage, disseminate and preserve data so that we have the requisite artifacts to increase our literacy and build upon collected knowledge. Data literacy I suggest, is indispensable in the current democratic system, and that requires having access to data, data infrastructures - knowledge and technology - and dedicated skilled people and resources to sustainably care for them. I consider research data management to be our duty.
Challenges, Opportunities and Risks for a Smart Future VISITOR First
We live in times that are as exciting as unsure at once. For many it is the most stunning and promising era in human society and for others it is a scary derangement of the old world. To find a path which leads us into a great future we created a comprehensive study to get insights about possible ways and hypotheses.
MLOVE and VISITOR FIRST plan to expand their initial scoping research on the relations between people and future technologies of Mobility, Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities. It considers important questions such as the consequences of bringing cutting edge technology into everyday life and the hopes, visions and fears tied to this process. The social frameworks that produce these technologies will also be analyzed.
MLOVE is a global community that brings together CEOs, CMOs, innovators and startup entrepreneurs from across multiple disciplines to share, learn and inspire ideas with an array of scientists, artists and other pioneers.
In VISITOR FIRST, MLOVE found a partner with several years of experience in the field of ethnographic research and holistic research designs within a business context.

The document summarizes a report on a research project called Links-up that investigates whether and how Web 2.0 technologies can support lifelong learning for socially excluded groups. The report analyzes 24 case studies of initiatives using Web 2.0 for inclusive learning. It finds that while Web 2.0 shows potential for inclusion, significant digital divides remain. The report provides recommendations to make future inclusion projects more effective by overcoming organizational resistance, meeting user needs, promoting open practices, using appropriate methods, driving participation, and ensuring sustainability.
The objective is the effective dissemination, exploitation and sustainability of the Links-up project objectives, outcomes and deliverables. It supports the research results by dissemination actions promoting cross-national and cross-sectoral collaboration. The dissemination, exploitation and sustainability building activities included the following measures:
•‘Public space’ on the online ‘Innovation Laboratory’ at www.links-up.eu with a large number of resources for policy, practice and research;
•Early information leaflet and two dedicated project flyer (i.e. the ‘brochure’);
•Three newsletters at key milestones in the project;
•Press releases in the participating partner countries e.g. on the validation experiments in the United Kingdom and Austria;
•Peer-reviewed articles and conference contributions e.g. for EduMedia 2010, GMW 2011, eChallanges e-2011 and for elearningeuropa.info;
•Four Learning Dialogues involving key stakeholders in the project in critically reviewing the project results as they developed;
•International and national ‘Events’ amongst them Plymouth e-Learning Conference (PeLC) 2010, EduMedia Conference 2010, Online Educa Berlin 2010, NEXT Regional Conferences 2010 and 2011, EDEN Annual Conferences 2010 and 2011 and the eChallenges e-2011 Conference;
