European Open Data Portal and Policy Compass: from national Open Data repositories to European scale, OW2con'16
0 likes208 views
The document discusses the European Data Portal, which serves as a hub for accessing open data across Europe, enhancing public service efficiency and innovation. It outlines various activities, including metadata quality checks, training in open data practices, and showcasing best practices. Additionally, it introduces the Policy Compass, offering tools for defining metrics, visualizing data, and supporting deliberation on public policy impacts.

- 2. THE BENEFITS OF OPEN DATA ARE DIVERSE AND RANGE FROM IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS, ECONONIC GROWTH IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO WIDER SOCIAL WELLFARE The European Data Portal will be a central hub providing access to all the information (metadata) about the data made accessible throughout Europe Improving Efficiency of Public Services Improving Quality Developing Innovative Services Creating New Business Models Improving Transparency & Accountability Enhance Participation Performance Economy Social
- 4. WHAT DO WE DO? 1. We offer metadata in 15 languages (for now), we visualise, we offer quality checks for over 600K datasets 2. We train a suite of learning experiences in the field of Open Data from publishing to the re-using Open Data 3. We showcase Open Data events, Open Data news, Open Data best practices, Open Data reports, etc 4. We collect by inviting stakeholders to share their stories, their feedback, their portals 5. We convene: meetings, webinars, events to discuss open data best practices, challenges and next steps 6. We share our source code and promote open source and re-use of components and standards “We harvest open data made available by all public administrations across Europe. Our focus is data from the Member States” 34 countries, 70 catalogues harvested, visualisations, maps, … THE EUROPEAN DATA PORTAL
- 5. MULTIPLE LEARNING EXPERIENCES BROUGHT ONLINE A Goldbook for data providers Open Data in a Nutshell How to build an Open Data Strategy Technical preparation & implementation Putting in place an Open Data lifecycle Ensuring and monitoring success Step 1: Introduction to Open Data Step 2: Open Data Implementation Step 3: Technical deep dive Step 4: Where next with Open Data? eLearning Modules Library Economic analysis Landscaping report Use cases Further training material Country specific reports Training Companion Practicalities to run own Open Data workshops Online learning is complemented by tailored support to countries
- 6. KEY FEATURES Harvesting of more than 70 Open Data portals Support of the DCAT-AP standard Translation of important meta data into 15 (later in 24) languages CKAN as a base for the meta data catalogue Integrated tool for assessing metadata quality Open Data Licensing Assistant Making meta data publicly available via CKAN REST- API and SPARQL endpoint Open Source solution
- 8. 8 - Difficulty of objectively assessing the impact of government policies - Political discussions about policies impacts are highly emotional and often are not based on any factual data - Poor use of available open data resources in the internet - Different perception by people about a suitable metric for measuring progress THE PROBLEM AND THE OPPORTUNITY The Problem The Opportunity: learning from data ONLINE DELIBERATION AND ARGUMENT MAPPING BUILDING CAUSAL MODELS DEFINING OWN PROGRESS METRICS
- 9. 9 POLICY COMPASS CONTENT Metrics Define and calculate own metrics on the basis of datasets Causal Models Model policy impacts and interrelations Deliberation Discuss impacts of policies and define argumentation models Visualisations Visualise and compare datasets Events Annotate visualisations by policy impacts influencing events Datasets Upload or import Open Data
- 10. 10 Open Data can be submitted through a “Wizard“ Uploaded data has to be transformed in „Policy-Compass- Format“ and become accessible as Datesets Support of popular formats: CSV, XLS, XLSX Direct search and import from: European Data Portal Eurostat © Fraunhofer FOKUS UPLOADING DATASETS
- 11. 11 Historical events, political decisions, laws, etc. are the second key element of Policy Compass Events can be registered manually Search and import of events from external sources: Wikipedia DBpedia © Fraunhofer FOKUS REGISTERING EVENTS
- 12. 12 Datesets can be presented as Visualisations There are several types of charts supported: line charts, on a map, Pie and Bar charts Rich set of configuration options Events can be added in Visualisations Identifing relations between Data and Events: Evaluation of the performance of politics © Fraunhofer FOKUS VISUALISING DATA
- 13. 13 Users can define own complex Metrics to measure impacts of policies, e.g. the Human Development Index Metrics can be defined as mathematic formulas to be applied to Datasets Same Metrics can be applied to different Datasets (for different time periods or different locations) © Fraunhofer FOKUS DEFINING METRICS
- 14. 14 Relations between concepts can be modelled in a graphical editor Such Causal Models can predict an impact of changing one or several concepts values in the model for the rest of the system Modelling and prediction is based on the theory of „Fuzzy Cognitive Maps“ The weights of relations between concepts can be calculated based on the available datasets for the concepts. © Fraunhofer FOKUS DEFINING CAUSAL MODELS
- 15. 15 Policy Compass uses open source e-Participation software Adhocracy as a deliberation component The outcomes of the deliberation can be modeled on the basis of the Carneades Argumentation Framework summarising the arguments of a debate in an argument graph Carneades helps to obtain clear explanations, using argument graphs, of the different effects of alternative policies in particular cases © Fraunhofer FOKUS DELIBERATING AND ARGUMENTATION MODELLING
