aligning stakeholders' perspectives in open government data community
DESCRIPTION
Open Government Data (OGD) has gained momentum and a large number of portals have become available providing all kind of data. There are many practices available and all kind of technologies enabling the opening of data. Yet the field is fragmented and effective use of open data requires knowledge found in different communities. The goal of the proposed workshop is two-fold. First it aims to contribute to better and shared understanding of concerns across core stakeholder groups in the OGD community. Second, it intends to show and discuss how some emerging technological solutions in the social semantic web and linked data technology domain could effectively address some of these concerns when considered as a part of a socio-technical ensemble.TRANSCRIPT
