Open Government game changer or hype?
!“We might hope to see the finances of the Union as clear and intelligible as a merchant's books so that every member of congress and every man of any mind ... should be able to comprehend them, to inves<gate abuses, and consequently control them.” !President Thomas Jefferson to Treasury Secretary Albert Galla*n, 1802

So -‐ whats new?
Open Government trailblazers
Open Government !“My Administra*on is commi[ed to crea*ng an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public par*cipa*on, and collabora*on. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effec*veness in Government.” !§ Government should be transparent § Government should be par*cipatory § Government should be collabora*ve
Using technology and open data...

!§ supports ci*zens to hold government to account, which can
reduce corrup*on and mismanagement. § supports ci*zens to be[er understand why and how decisions
are made, which can help rebuild trust. § supports ci*zens to make informed decisions and engage with
the government, thus playing an ac*ve role in society. § supports government and public administra*on to make be[er
decisions and thus to increase efficiency and effec*veness. § supports governments, ci*zens, academia and the private
sector to work together and collabora*vely find be[er solu*ons.
Why open data ma[ers
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
!Data is not a means in itself -‐ it needs to be used to create value. For data to be reusable it needs to be technically and legally open. !“A piece of content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it for any purpose -‐ without any restric*ons” !
What is open data
www.opendefini*on.org
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
!§ Experts within the open government data community have
established a set of principles for open data: !
§ 8 open government data principles by the Open Government Working Group, 2008 !
§ 10 principles for opening up government informa*on by the Sunlight Founda*on, 2010
Best prac*ce for open data
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
!Sir Tim Berners-‐Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has introduced a 5-‐Star-‐Scheme !You get the first (big!) star if the informa*on has been made public under an open licence. Without the first star you can not get the others!
Follow the stars

!§ OGD is not a magic panacea! Opening up government data will
neither stop climate change nor eliminate corrup*on! § OGD is infrastructure and prerequisite for transparency,
accountability and par*cipa*on. § Unfortunately the real works only begins once the data is
open!

What data is available
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
!§ Start with low-‐hanging-‐fruits
– Those datasets that are already available in machine-‐processable formats. Data that can be easily be published for reuse.
!§ Start with data that really ma[ers
– Elec*on Results, Company Register, Na*onal Map, Detailed Government Budget and Spending data, Legisla*on like laws and statutes, Parliamentary protocols and documents, Na*onal Sta*s*cal Office Data, Na*onal Postcode/ZIP database, Public Transport Timetables, Environmental Data on major sources of pollutants.
What data first
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
!§ Legal Openness
– Is the data in a public domain? Can it be re-‐used without restric*ons?
!§ Technical Openness
– Is the data available in standard machine-‐readable formats?
!§ Relevance
– What kind of data is most useful to the public? Is this data available?
Opening data
!Implemen*ng Open Government Data tools and infrastructure don’t have to be complicated and expensive. !§ Keep it simple! § Avoid 5-‐year plans and mul*-‐million $ solu*ons! § Allow for itera*ve process and experiments!
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
Oh no! Thats complicated
!"It has to start at the top, in the middle, and at the bo[om", as Tim Berners-‐Lee observed in an interview.* !§ Top-‐level poli*cal commitment !
§ An engaged and well-‐resourced "middle layer" of skilled government bureaucrats; and !
§ Bo[om up: Civil society, and in par*cular a small but mo*vated group of "civic hackers" !

How to start
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
What Governments can do
!The Open Government Partnership is an ini*a*ve of 56 countries commiwng to take ac*on on transparency, accountability, ci*zen par*cipa*on and innova*on.
www.opengovpartnership.org
Open Government Partnership
!§ 'Open Data' and 'E-‐Government' are the most popular
commitments across the Partnership § Commitments to legisla*ve reforms such as freedom of
informa*on or measures on an*-‐corrup*on are underrepresented
§ Why is this?

* OGP ac*on plan analysis by Global Integrity 2012
Sewng the focus
!§ Open Government is NOT mainly about be[er public service
delivery § Open Government is about ci*zen engagement, government
transparency and accountability
GIZ-‐Delega*on on e-‐Government, April 2013 From e-‐gov to we-‐gov
Understand the cultural change
!§ Governments should focus on serious legisla*ve reform, and
engage with ci*zens and NOT on crea<ng shiny-‐web-‐interfaces!
§ Governments should set up a suppor*ng environment for OGD.
§ Government should publish data & become a plaBorm for others to build value added services upon.
!

Legislate, don’t innovate
!!!!!!!!!!Parliaments should endorse the Declara*on of Parliamentary Openness and become more transparent and accountable.

Parliamentary transparency
!Tim O’Reilly encourages Governments to embrace open standards and open source technology to build lightweight web applica*ons for an open data ecosystem.

Why interoperability ma[ers
Leading by best prac*ce
Crea*ng single entry points to all government informa*on and services. Simpler, clearer, faster.

!§ Some of the best public services today are not build by
Governments but by civil society and private companies. § Examples being ‘fix my street’ by mySociety. Tomorrow most of
such services will have to go mobile. Do we really think governments should build all this?
§ I think we be[er not!
