- KonferenzbeitragAn Account of Research on Open Government Data (2007-2012): A Systematic Literature Review(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2020, 2013) Novais, Tharsis; Albuquerque, João P. De; Craveiro, Gisele S.Open Government Data (OGD) is a government policy that is being increasingly adopted by several countries around the world. Despite its growing acceptance, there are still several difficulties both in making OGD available and ensuring it is used effectively by society. A growing body of knowledge has been produced in the last few years in the e-government scientific community to address these problems. This paper conducts a systematic literature re-view on the question of OGD, which is aimed at outlining a knowledge base of the existing scientific literature on OGD produced in the period 2007-2012 that is available in the on-line databases of relevant scientific societies (ACM, AIS, IEEE). In doing so, the paper provides an overview of this knowledge base, and maps out the different research approaches that are being adopted to study OGD, its geographical scope and the application domain they refer to. The results indicate the need of broadening the geographic coverage of OGD studies and also of deepening the discussion of quality criteria for assessing open data.
- KonferenzbeitragBuilding Journal Excellence through Quality Reviews: How to Review a Manuscript(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2049, 2013) Bertot, John C.Journal excellence rests on at least three essential factors: 1) the journal's editorial team; 2) the strength of the research community; and 3) the peer review process. In particular, a critical review process that assesses the strengths and weaknesses of submitted manuscripts is a necessity if a journal is to publish high quality articles that are read, cited, and have an impact on both research and practice. This workshop is designed to provide attendees with insights into how to conduct useful and rigorous manuscript reviews.
- KonferenzbeitragBotswana Speaks Parliamentary Initiative: Paving the Way Towards Better Constituency Services in Botswana(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2033, 2013) Koulolias, Vasilis; Belkacem, Kheira; Zalavra, VassilikiRecognizing the long-standing traditions of democratic consultation at the local level in Botswana and the leading role of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools in participation and decision-making processes, this paper focuses on a real-life case study that matches the implementation of an innovative ICT tool that allows citizens to participate in online and offline consultations with their elected Members of the Parliament (MPs) in Botswana on issues of major concern. Botswana Speaks Parliamentary Initiative is an ongoing pilot research project that aims to improve parliamentary efficiency by ensuring sustainable capacity building around the use of an online platform and enhance transparency by opening deliberation and debate to citizens.
- KonferenzbeitragAgile Sentiment Analysis for more Responsive Public Relations(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2030, 2013) Cestnik, Bojan; Kern, AlenkaThe constituting e-government organizations like ministries, agencies, funds and councils often have to deal with severe media attention and sometimes more or less justified criticism. In this paper we present an approach that supports the task of managing public relations (PR) between organizations and the news media. The proposed approach is based on agile sentiment analysis of the questions that organizations receive from the journalists and media. Such analysis is relevant for reviewing past events as well as predicting the future happenings. We demonstrate the utility of the proposed approach by analyzing a set of 298 questions received by a public organization from various media in the period from 2007 till 2012. The results confirm that that by incorporating agile sentiment analysis into regular PR workflow organizations can improve their understanding and control of communication with the media and public.
- KonferenzbeitragCurrent Social Context and Implications for E-Participation (Panel)(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2045, 2013) Cindio, Fiorella de; Schuler, DouglasThe panel will address the implications and the challenges for the design, implementation, and deployment of eParticipation systems and online environments that are appropriate to the current socio-political context.
- KonferenzbeitragWorkshop on E-Government Journals: Meet the Editors(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2048, 2013) Scholl, Hans JochenOver the years, the academic domain of electronic government research (EGR) has developed its own core of journals, which cover the various aspects and areas of interest in EGR. While some journals apply a policy or an administrative perspective, others emphasize the information or information-systems perspective. The workshop is meant to help prospective authors understand and meet the expectations of the respective target audiences of EGR journals as well as the editorial policies of leading journals in the domain. Target Group: very broad, for example, all prospective authors of academic EGR papers.
- KonferenzbeitragMyUniversity: E-Participation and Decision Making for Higher Education(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2036, 2013) Cucurull, Jordi; Álvaro, Albert; Puiggalí, JordiMyUniversity is a European project to foster the eParticipation in European higher education institutions and allow their members to influence the final decision making performed by the institutions' authorities. A framework, composed of the two existing interactive tools Gov2Demoss and Pnyx.eVoting, and a methodology to manage eParticipation initiatives have been created for this purpose. This paper studies the eParticipation obtained in 14 European universities where the framework and methodologies have been applied. The paper also describes the developed project framework, the methodology, the trial, the first preliminary participation results, and analyzes the main conclusions and lessons learned from them.
- KonferenzbeitragA Collaborative Approach to Public Administrations Inter-organizational Business Processes Modelling(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2019, 2013) Cognini, Riccard; Falcioni, Damiano; Polzonetti, Alberto; Re, BarbaraThe paper presents a collaborative approach to the definition of interorganizational Business Processes. Applying the proposed modeling approach multiple organizations can easily reconcile local and global views. In particular, the modeling phase is based on BPMN 2.0 standard notation and it proceeds according to the following steps: (i) all organizations collaboratively derive a communication view of the process, (ii) a local communication view is automatically deduced for each organization, and (iii) each organization models its own private process taking into account foreseen local communications. The approach is supported by a user-friendly and web based tool named HawkEye that has been successfully applied to real scenarios in the e-government domain.
- KonferenzbeitragRequirements and Architecture of a Passive Crowdsourcing Environment(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2035, 2013) Charalabidis, Yannis; Karkaletsis, Vangelis; Triantafillou, Anna; Androutsopoulou, Aggeliki; Loukis, EuripidisWhile the first generation of e-participation has been based on official e- participation spaces owned and operated by government, the second one is oriented towards exploiting the highly popular web 2.0 social media for performing `crowdsourcing' of policy-related knowledge, opinions and ideas from citizens, through posting relevant policy-related content to some social media and then retrieving and processing citizens' interactions with it. Recently, the idea of a third generation of e-participation has been proposed, which is based on a more `passive' form of crowd-sourcing in social media, through automated passive search by government agencies for content on a public policy under discussion, that has been created in a large number of predefined relevant web 2.0 sources (e.g. political blogs, news websites, facebookand twitter accounts) by citizens freely, without any direct stimulation by government, retrieval and sophisticated processing of this content. In this paper we analyze and elaborate this idea, based on cooperation with potential users experienced in the design of public policies, through a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Initially, the main roles required for the practical application of this concept are identified, and then the functional requirements of each of them are determined. Finally, based on these functional requirements the architecture of a central platform supporting the application of this concept is designed.
- KonferenzbeitragPuzzled by Policy: Providing New Hope for E-Participation at the EU Level(Electronic Government and Electronic Participation - Joint Proceedings of Ongoing Research of IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart 2037, 2013) Glidden, Julia; Ruston, SusieIn helping local authorities in Ireland to adapt to climate change we have developed a prototype socio-ecological systems simulator which we believe can be applied as a governance tool in many domains. We outline the consultation process which was developed in order to engage members of local communities in the production of adaptation plans. We explain the reasons for adopting an ICT driven approach to further this engagement and how the prototype web-based tool was implemented. We describe how this tool is currently being adapted in order to help implement the Irish government's national climate adaptation framework. We discuss how the tool may be enhanced in the future by the addition of more sophisticated modeling tools based on artificial intelligence.
