eGov and Open Data Camp

W3C Moderators: Phil Archer (W3C) and Caroline Burle (W3C Brazil Office)

“eGovernment is about better communication between governments and their citizens. Governments can achieve substantial efficiency savings by using online technologies: XML-based for transactions, RDF-based for open data and policy modeling, and HTML-based for interactive communication with people.”

17:00–18:30 Session 2

Picking up from the discussion and ideas in the first part of the session, we’ll have a series of parallel sessions in the style of an unconference – the topics are up to you! They can be on any eGov subject but possibilities ((For emphasis, these are just suggestions, the actual topics will be determined by those present in the room.) include:

• the technical challenges faced when using open data;
• opportunities and challenges of using URIs as persistent identifiers in open data;
• basic controlled vocabularies for countries, languages;
• LinkedCSV – what can we to do to make CSV more powerful? (for reference, see Jeni Tennison’s work on this).
• describing organizations, making sense of Legal Entity Identifiers, business registers, tax numbers (ref Org Ontology, Registered Organization Vocabulary);
• Global interoperability and multilingualism – are we talking to each other or past each other?
