Introduction to Open Data, Information Processing, and Datification in Government Minitrack

Open Government Data Driven Co-creation: Moving Towards Citizen-Government Collaboration

“…There have been recent academic works such as [8,22] that present some of benefits that may be provided by OGD. Some benefits (though there are likely many more) are increased transparency, new forms of social participation, innovation, creation of new public services, increased accountability, creation of new business models and improved data models [8], [23][24][25]. Barriers Relating to the Use and Release of OGD.…”

Multi-Stakeholder Innovation in Smart City Discourse: Quadruple Helix Thinking in the Age of “Platforms”

“…Datafication refers to sensing and the subsequent collecting of all kinds of data in machine-readable data formats(Janssen et al, 2017) or the transformation of social action into online quantified data, thus allowing for real-time tracking and predictive analysis(Mayer-Schönberger and Cukier, 2013).Frontiers in Sustainable Cities | www.frontiersin.org…”

Advanced social media exploitation in public policy formulation

“…Big data seems to have positive consequences in policy making, filling in areas where previously information was scarce or difficult to obtain. If we add to this the increasing availability of computational capacity needed for gathering and processing quicker larger volumes of multimodal information, we can understand the current trend towards the so-called "datification of governance" (Marjin Janssen et al, 2017).…”
