5. Gov 3.0 Partnership

6. What we are trying to do?
§ Contemporary societies are characterized by complex problems,
which require synergies across both multiple disciplines and
stakeholders to be tackled.
 Society: increasingly interconnected, flexible, fast-evolving, unpredictable
 Governance: often silos-based, linear, obscure, hierarchical, over-simplified
 Policies, Disciplines and Actors are isolated
§ GOV 3.0 explores the opportunity of harnessing the recent ICT
developments to tackle the challenges contemporary governments
face through collaboration.
§ The objective of the project is to establish a knowledge alliance
targeting the research and training challenges in the field of ICT-
enabled Governance.

7. Outcomes
§ Joint Educational/Research Activities
 Pre-graduate Curricula update and new modules
 Joint Master Curriculum
 Summer Schools
 Joint Conferences, Tracks and Workshops
§ Knowledge Roadmap of Government 3.0: study of ICT-supported solutions for
open and collaborative policy modelling and governance
§ Entrepreneurship: 1 e-gov competition having as main goal to gather complete
and viable ideas/applications regarding government 3.0
§ Massive Open Online Course for training provision: open access high quality
courses online. Education for company staff and entrepreneurship
§ A Science Base for Digital Government establishing ICT-enabled Governance
as a vivid research domain

8. The 3 Generations of e-Government
§ Government 1.0 (or e-Government 1.0) refers to the utilization of ICTs and
other web-based technologies for improving or enhancing on the efficiency and
effectiveness of public service production and delivery to citizens and
enterprises.
§ Government 2.0 (or e-Government 2.0) refers to the use of the collaborative
tools and approaches of Web 2.0, as well as to the opening of public
information, in order to achieve more open, accountable and responsive
government.
§ Government 3.0 (or e-Government 3.0) refers to the use of new disruptive
ICTs (such as blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence technologies), in
combination with established ICTs (such as distributed technologies for data
storage and service delivery) and taking advantage of the wisdom of crowd
(crowd/citizen-sourcing and value co-creation), towards data-driven and
evidence-based decision and policy making.

Challenges

14. 14
Scope
ManyLaws aims to address the challenge of fragmented information in the legal domain:
 Integration of automated translation services and the utilization of HPC resources
 Mining national legal data portals and EU sources of legal information
 Aggregating the retrieved information with the data maintained by public administrations
and law-making bodies

15. To build the proper environment and vision of semantically annotated Big Open Legal Data (BOLD),
easily searchable and exploitable with proper visualization techniques
To provide the technical foundation and the tools for making legal information available to
everybody, in a customizable, structured and easy to handle way
To deliver a set of key trans-European services that facilitate seamless and ubiquitous access to
legal data for citizens, businesses and administrations
15
Objectives

16. 16
Conceptual Model

17. Parallel search in many EU member-state legal frameworks (through parallel translation of search terms), using
simple keywords
Assessment of the degree of transposition of an EU Directive in a National Legal Framework, indicating
relevant national legislation and monitoring the status of transpositions
Analysis of references to the European Legislation by National Laws
Comparative analysis of equivalent or relevant laws from different EU member states or connected laws from
the same member state
Timeline analysis for all legal elements, visualising the progress and current status of a specific national or
European legislation (after amendment/extensions) over time
Interrelation of laws and news or social media posts, including sentiment analysis
Various geo-related visualisations (e.g. EU maps indicating different parameters) and text-related
visualisations (e.g. wordle, sentiment graphs, interrelation maps, etc.) to illustrate correlations, dependencies
and conflicts between different laws
Decision Support Services (e.g. Impact Assessment) within legal procedures
