Workshop Introduction: Phil Archer, W3C
The European Data Portal - Opening up Europe's Public Data, Wendy Carrara, Capgemini [paper] [abstract] [slides]

The launch of the European Data Portal is one of the key steps the European Commission is taking to support the access to public data. The strategic objective of the European Data Portal project is to address the accessibility and the value of Open (Government) Data. Open Data refers to the information collected, produced or paid for by the public bodies (also referred to as PSI) and made freely available for re-use for any purpose. November 16th 2015 is the release date for the Beta version of the European Data Portal. It harvests the metadata of PSI available on public data portals across European countries. Portals can be national, regional, local or domain specific. They cover the EU Member States, EEA, countries involved in the EU's neighbourhood policy and Switzerland, 39 countries in total.

European Interoperability: The ISA Core Vocabularies, Athanasios Karalopoulos, European Commission [slides]
The Impact of Open Data in Public Sector, Heli Koski, The Research Institute of the Finnish Economy [abstract] [paper] [slides]

Various countries have implemented the open (government) data strategy aiming at providing wide access to government data in machine-readable format such that it can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone. Reported ex ante evaluations have estimated that the potential benefits of opening up public data resources are substantial. Very little is known about the underlying economic and organisational mechanisms and implications of open data use at the organisational level or at the level of economy as a whole. To my best knowledge, there is no reported comprehensive country-level ex-post impact assessment of opening up government data. Currently, Finland is among the leading countries in opening up the government data, and it has also a chance to be among the most advanced ones in the impact assessment of open data. The impacts of opening up government data can be divided to economic impacts and to other social impacts. The prerequisite for this is a careful development of the monitoring and evaluation model for opening up government data as well as a systematic gathering of data for the impact assessment. Furthermore, the usability and usefulness of different public data resources for consumers, firms and public sector organisations can be assessed via the users’ own evaluations. In addition, it is important to assess appropriate means to disseminate and promote efficient utilisation of information on the best practices of open data re-use in different organisations.

The Importance of Location

Facilitators: Athina Trakas (OGC) & Arnulf Christl (Megaspatial) Scribe: Stuart Lester [notes]

Location is an integral part of public information. We typically know it in the form of maps but location data has a lot more potential than "just" maps. Location information puts data into a spatial context (what is where!). Interestingly, location information in many cases is the only link between two completely independent datasets. Linking two datasets through location information allows the discovery of otherwise completely opaque relations. The problem is that location information is fuzzy, often badly maintained and not an integral part of most alphanumeric data models.

The Role of the Portal

Facilitators: Wendy Carrara (Capgemini), Bernhard Krabina, Georg Hittmair. [slides] Scribe: Daniel [notes]

A portal is more than a catalogue of datasets. It can be a multi-functional platform, a place where potential re-users can request datasets, a place where datasets that exist but are not yet open can be listed and so on. This session combines the perspectives of the EDP with ideas from Austria on internal data monitoring, and from the PSI Alliance on what is important for potential business users of PSI.

An Intelligent Fire Risk Monitor Based on Linked Open Data, Nicky van Oorschot, netage.nl [paper] [slides][abstract] [notes]

Since the beginning of 2015 netage.nl has been working on a Linked Open Data use case within the Fire Department in the Netherlands. In this use case we are developing an self-service analytics platform where fire departments combine open available datasets to calculate dwelling fire risks in various neighbourhoods corresponding to forensic fire related research. During a research period the application has been proven and verified. The ambition is to spread the application internationally among different countries. In addition to the explanation of the use case, the presentation will include a specific talk according to location and geographic issues and challenges we encountered. We believe that more companies encounter the same issues and challenges that we can deal with more easily, by aligning location and geographic classifications and ontologies. We would love to share our ideas during a presentation.

Mobile positioning and statistical derivatives – The way forward? Aleš Veršič, Ministry of Public Administration, Slovenia [paper by Igor Kuzma] [slides] [video shown]
Core Public Service Vocabulary - The Italian Application Profile, Gabriele Ciasullo, Giorgia Lodi, Antonio Rotundo, AgID [paper] [abstract] [slides]
This paper introduces an on-going national initiative, carried out by the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID) in accordance with the relevant legislation, for the definition of the Italian catalogue of public services. The catalogue has three main objectives:
1. it can be used to facilitate the discovery of public services by citizens and enterprises;
2. it provides public administrations with a comprehensive platform through which sharing best practices on services, and building a community that discusses and potentially re-uses those best practices; and
3. it can be used by AgID itself in order to monitor the degree of standardization and digitalization of the services of the public sector, thus reporting to the political level for strategic decision fine-tuning purposes.
The catalogue is defined in terms of metadata that contribute to the specification of the so-called Core Public Service Italian Application Profile. The metadata can be specified by public administrations (be they local or central) to represent their available, or under-development, online and physical public services. The core public service Italian application profile is defined through the use of core vocabularies, as released by the European Commission in collaboration with W3C. In particular, the paper presents the current preliminary data model of the Italian profile that is mainly based on the core public service vocabulary and its application profile, although other core vocabularies are considered (e.g., Core Location, Organization Ontology and Registered Organization Vocabulary).

Linked Data for SMEs, Lena Farid and Andreas Schramm, LinDA/Fraunhofer FOKUS [abstract] [slides]

Linked Data is an active research field currently, driven by visions and promises. New ideas, concepts, and tools keep emerging in quick succession. In contrast, relatively little activity is being seen towards aspects like ease of use and accessibility of tools for non-experts, so as to promote Linked Data at SME level. This is a sign for the still developing maturity of said research field, and it is the motivation and starting point of the LinDA (“Linked Data Analytics”) project.

In this project, various Linked Data tools have been designed and implemented, ranging from the renovation of public sector information and enterprise data to data analytics, and also an integrated workbench, to couple these components. This workbench also provides user guidance through simple standard workflows. The whole workbench has been designed with ease of use in mind, ranking simplicity higher than feature completeness, so as to make it fit for SMEs.

In this session, we will first give an overview of the LinDA workbench, and the typical workflows it is designed for. The components comprise data renovation and consumption tools. Second, we will examine two of its components, viz. the data renovation tools and the vocabulary repository, and their interaction in more detail. Here, renovation refers to conversion from various source formats (structured and semi-structured data) towards Linked Data (RDF) under some modest semantic enrichment. For the latter purpose, the vocabulary repository has been incorporated, and we explain how these components are employed under the supervision of the user. Furthermore, the LinDA workbench will show how external data (SPARQL) endpoints can be easily integrated in order to facilitate the exploration and interlinking of various private and open data sources.

Implementing interoperability
for Data Portals in Europe

Facilitators: Nikolaos Loutas, Dietmar Gattwinkel Scribe: Johann [notes]

This session combines:

Implementing the DCAT Application Profile for Data Portals in Europe, Nikolaos Loutas, PwC, Makx Dekkers, AMI Consult [paper] [slides]
First Steps towards interoperability of key open data asset descriptors, Dietmar Gattwinkel, Konrad Abicht, René Pietzsch, Michael Martin [paper] [slides]
European Data Portal: lessons learned on the use of DCAT-AP, Simon Dutkowski, Fraunhofer FOKUS [slides]

This session aims to bring together implementers of the DCAT-AP and national profiles based on it, in order to gather implementation experience and feedback. Since the first publication of the DCAT-AP in 2013, many member states have implemented national application profiles based on the European profile. Earlier in 2015, a revision of the DCAT-AP was developed based on contributions from various Member States, the European Commission and independent experts. During this work, it became clear that it would be useful for implementers to have an overview of current practices and to share common challenges in mapping national practices to the exchange of dataset descriptions on the European level. Possible topics of discussion include:

the implementation of the DCAT-AP as the native data model of existing data portals;
implementation of national/regional variants of the DCAT-AP;
harmonisation of national/regional codelists with codelists recommended by the DCAT-AP;
implementation of importers/exporters for DCAT-AP conformant metadata;
implementation of DCAT-AP validation frameworks and services.

DCAT-AP is an attempt to solve the problem of cross-border and cross-domain interoperability. Governmental authorities and virtual communities such as datahub.io have published a large number of open datasets. Whilst this is a fundamentally positive development, one can observe many differences between them. Established vocabularies are often augmented with portal-specific metadata standards and published in different (local) languages.

Integrating and aggregating across portals entails a lot of effort. In this session we present examples how the problems of interoperability and multilingualism could be addressed for key open data asset descriptors.

The European Data Portal defined DCAT-AP as the basic concept for handling metadata. If all metadata were exchanged using DCAT-AP this would be an easy venture but the EDP has to respect other de facto standards currently in use. Although the DCAT-AP specification tries to be clear and unambiguous, there are aspects that make it hard to use it in conjunction with much more restrictive formats like CKAN json. The new release of DCAT-AP already addresses some of these interoperability issues successfully but there are still challenges to be addressed.

INSPIRE in RDF

Facilitator: Andrea Perego, JRC Scribe: Athina [notes]

The INSPIRE Directive is putting in place an infrastructure and standards to help share geospatial data across Europe. The scope of the directive is broad, focussing on environmental policy but touching on diverse themes of interest to e-government such as addresses, public health, place-names, governmental services, utilities and transport networks. The default exchange format recommended for most INSPIRE data is the XML-based Geography Markup Language (GML). While GML is widely known within the geospatial information domain, many e-government applications and tools start to adopt ‘Linked Data’ to publish their data using RDF.

Publishing and Using Linked Open Data in Public Sector

Facilitators: Jan Kučera, Džiugas Tornau Scribe: Jan [notes]

This session focusses on Linked Data technologies and includes two papers:

Self-describing Fiscal Data, Jindřich Mynarz, Jakub Klímek and Jan Kučera, University of Economics, Prague, Czech Republic [paper] [slides]
Publishing Linked Data with reusable declarative templates, Martynas Jusevičius and Džiugas Tornau, Graphity/UABLD [paper] [slides]

Fiscal data released by public sector bodies looks like impenetrable fog of accounting terms to most lay users without expertise in public finance. Relying on column labels to convey what data is about is a recipe for misinterpretation. Fiscal data tends to be poorly documented and lacking schemas that would guide its users. We propose to publish self-describing fiscal data to help resolve these issues. Machine-readable descriptions of data increase the degree to which data processing can be automated. Data descriptions can guide human reusers and improve their understanding of the described datasets. Self-describing data enable some processing without reaching for out-of-band information by reading documentation or contacting dataset maintainers. We describe 2 complementary approaches for self-describing data from the domain of public finance: a data model based on the RDF Data Cube Vocabulary and the Fiscal Data Package that is based on JSON descriptors.

If Linked Data itself presents barriers, the second part of the session might clear up some issues as it will offer a declarative approach to define “blueprints” for Linked Data: a vocabulary for Linked Data templates that can be shared and interpreted by different software systems and increase interoperability by doing so. The vocabulary has been developed as part of Graphity , a declarative platform for data-driven Web application development. Whereas RDF and Linked Data solve interoperability at the data layer, Graphity extends the declarative approach into software development. It delivers cost efficiency and software interoperability for data publishers and software developers alike. We will start the session with a short case presentation. Open data from the Copenhagen municipality (geo data in CSV format) will be imported, converted to RDF, published as Linked Data, and analyzed. The only tool used will be the Graphity Platform, to illustrate the viability and flexibility of Linked Data templates in real world data management tasks.

Government as a Developer - Challenges and Perils, André Lapa, AMA [slides][abstract] [notes]

AMA, Portugal's Agency for the Administrative Modernization found a way to circumvent the classic “where are the developers pressuring us to open data?” issue by tapping into Government’s own app development agenda and identifying cases when closed data could be open to the public. There are currently two projects that are a good illustration of this principle: the Local Transparency Portal and the Citizen Map, which opened up data related to municipal transparency and the geolocation of all public services, by “forcing” the responsible entities to free the data that was powering those apps. Of course this raised several questions regarding data governance, interoperability between different public agents, and the disparity that arises from developers trying to compete with government resources regarding the use of open data. Obviously it’s not an ideal system, but one that produced interesting results, such as raising the general level of data quality on the Portuguese open data portal.
