Crowdsourcing ideas have been developed and initially applied in the private sector, first in the creative and design industries, and subsequently in many other industries, aiming to exploit the 'collective wisdom'in order to perform difficult problem solving and design activities. It was much later that government agencies started experimenting with crowdsourcing, aiming to collect from citizens information, knowledge, opinions and ideas concerning difficult social problems, and important public policies they were designing for addressing them. Therefore, it is necessary to develop approaches, and knowledge in general concerning the efficient and effective application of crowdsourcing ideas in government, taking into account its special needs and specificities. This chapter contributes to filling this research gap, by presenting two novel approaches in this direction, which have been developed through extensive previous relevant research of the authors: a first one for 'active crowdsourcing', and a second one for 'passive crowdsourcing' by government agencies. Both of them are based on innovative ways of using the recently emerged and highly popular Web 2.0 social media in a highly automated manner through their application programming interfaces (API). For each of these approaches, the basic idea is initially described, followed by the architecture of the required information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, and finally a process model for its practical application.

“…In particular, in both projects robots were deployed at the ''Foundation of the Hellenic World'', which is a cultural institution for the presentation of Hellenic history. 6 In the Xenios project, the robotic system involved a state-based spoken dialogue system that could talk about specific exhibits of a museum, upon the user's request. In the Indigo project (a continuation and extension of Xenios), the robotic platform enabled a more sophisticated human-robot interaction.…”

A basic goal in human-robot interaction is to establish such a communication mode between the two parties that the humans perceive it as effective and natural; effective in the sense of being responsive to the information needs of the humans, and natural in the sense of communicating information in modes familiar to humans. This paper sets the framework for a robot guide to visitors in art collections and other assistive environments, which incorporates the principles of effectiveness and naturalness. The human-robot interaction takes place in natural language in the form of a dialogue session during which the robot describes exhibits, but also recommends exhibits that might be of interest to the visitors. It is also possible for the robot to explain its reasoning to the visitors, with a view to increasing transparency and consequently trust in the robot's suggestions. Furthermore, the robot leads the visitors to the location of the desired exhibit. The framework is general enough to be implemented in different hardware, including portable computational devices. The framework is based on a cognitive model comprised of four modules: a reactive, a deliberative, a reflective and an affective one. An initial implementation of a dialogue system realising this cognitive model is presented. main ontology.

Abstract. The emergence of web 2.0 social media enables the gradual emergence of a second generation of e-participation characterized by more citizens' control, in which government agencies post content (e.g. short or longer text, images, video) to various social media and then analyze citizens' interactions with it (e.g. views, likes/dislikes, comments, etc.). In this paper we propose an even more citizens controlled third generation of e-participation exploiting web 2.0 social media as well, but in a different manner. It is based on the search by government agencies for content on a public policy under formulation, which has been created in a large set of web 2.0 sources (e.g. blogs and microblogs, news sharing sites, online forums) by citizens freely, without any initiation, stimulation or moderation through government postings. This content undergoes advanced processing in order to extract from it arguments, opinions, issues and proposals on the particular policy, identify their sentiments (positive or negative), and finally summarize and visualize them. This approach allows the exploitation of the vast amount of user-generated content created in numerous web 2.0 social media for supporting governments to understand better the needs, wishes and beliefs of citizens, and create better and more socially rooted policies.
