Granada Ministerial Declaration on the European Digital Agenda - 0 views

  •  
    Cloud computing und konkrete Maßnahmen zur Malmö-Deklaration werden gefordert. Eine Frechheit ist aber (auf der Zunge zergehen lassen!) "Safeguard the openness of the internet through implementing and monitoring of the new EU electronic communications rules on network provision." Fazit: Abgeschmackter Einheitsbrei ohne innovatives Potential; die bestehenden FP7 ICT PSP Programme werden in folgsamer Weise thematisch am Leben erhalten

Study links online transparency efforts, trust in government - Nextgov - 0 views

  • The first-ever quantitative assessment of online open government efforts has concluded that the perceived transparency of federal Web sites drives trust in government.
  • The longstanding approach to quantifying transparency has been, "well let's measure how much data they put out there," said Larry Freed, ForeSee Results' president and chief executive officer. "To me, that's not measuring transparency. That may be measuring confusion."
  • "If citizens find e-government transparent, they are more likely to return to the site, recommend it, and use it instead of a more costly channel," the study found. "They even express more trust in the government agency."

  • Citizens who believe a site is highly transparent are 46 percent more likely to trust the overall government, 49 percent more likely to use the site as a primary resource and 37 percent more likely to return to the site, according to the study.
  • McClure also noted that a site's perceived transparency can save the government money by encouraging citizens to access services online, rather than through less efficient channels.
  • Other departments that want to make their sites more transparent "should stand firm when those at the helm pressure them to ignore what the audience wants, and instead design for the internal audience,"

Gordon Brown proposes personalised MyGov web services | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • A MyGov dashboard that allows every citizen to personalise the explosive growth of government services on the web was proposed today by Gordon Brown.
  • Brown said MyGov, which will eventually replace DirectGov, will end the current frustration of web users needing to identify themselves separately for different public services. He also said the dashboard will allow the citizen to manage their pensions, tax credits and child benefits, as well as pay council tax, fix doctors or hospital appointments, apply for schools of their choice and communicate with children's teachers.

Free Our Books and research papers - 1 views

  • We, the citizens, through the state, pay for the production of academic books and research papers twice, first through salaries and research grants, and second through the purchase of books and journal subscriptions. This is how the the most fundamental principles of academia, to study and to share its findings, are obstructed, and its operation is made far more expensive and cumbersome.

Landmark Agreements Clear Path for Government New Media - 0 views

  • For the past six months, a coalition of agencies led by GSA has been working with new media providers to develop terms of service that can be agreed to by federal agencies. The new agreements resolve any legal concerns found in many standard terms and conditions that pose problems for federal agencies, such as liability limits, endorsements, freedom of information, and governing law
  • "We need to get official information out to sites where people are already visiting and encourage them to interact with their government," says GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty. “Millions of Americans visit new media sites every day. The new agreements make it easier for the government to provide official information to citizens via their method of choice.”

Novellierung Bundesstatistikgesetz - 0 views

  • Das novellierte Gesetzt ermöglicht tatsaechlich - ein wesentlicher Fortschritt - den Zutritt der Wissenschaft zu Datenbestaenden, in denen Daten aus unterschiedlichen Erhebungen zusammengeführt wurden. Auf Inititative von Vizekanzlers Josef Pröll (Antwort-Brief als PDF-Datei zum herunterladen) wurde eine Arbeitsgruppe eingerichtet, in der in Zusammenarbeit von BKA, BMWF und Statistik Austria ein gangbarer Weg gefunden werden soll, den Anliegen der Wissenschaft nach Zugang zu den "Mikrodaten" zu ermöglichen.
