Governor Quinn Announces Winners of Illinois Open Technology ChallengeDaniel X. O'Neil
Governor Quinn announced the winners of the Illinois Open Technology Challenge pilot competition. Four teams were awarded $15,000 each for creating digital tools that utilize open government data from Champaign, Belleville, and South Suburban communities. The winning apps included one that tracks job applications to help with unemployment benefits processing, a website with city ordinances for Belleville, a tour guide app for Champaign-Urbana, and a housing development analysis tool for South Suburban communities. The competition aims to make government data more accessible and transparent, and spur innovation.
I’m glad you picked up a copy of our third edition of Open Innovation. It’s packed full of examples of how the open
data movement is growing quickly and becoming one of the most dynamic areas of technology today.
In our “Community Report” section, you’ll get to meet people who are bringing open data to more places, like the
executives in Montgomery County who supported the creation of financial transparency apps that educate citizens
on county budget data. You’ll also hear about Code for America’s successful startup incubator program and the
Center for Medicaid and Medicare’s (CMS) innovative use of healthcare data. Finally, we highlight authors in the
community with our new book review section and showcase a few members of the “Open Data Doers Club.” Any of
the doers remind you of yourself?
“There’s an app for that.” We’ve all heard it and it’s becoming more and more true thanks to new public datasets
made available by governments. In our “What’s App’ening?” section, you’ll find out how New York City
encourages citizens to create apps that address the city’s toughest issues and you’ll get an overview of Socrata Open
Expenditures™ and Socrata Open Budget™, financial transparency apps we designed with help from government
finance leaders.

The Austin team partnered with the city to build applications and advance open government initiatives like increasing data portal usage. They completed projects like Prepared.ly for wildfire preparedness and hosted events like hackathons. Going forward, the city is continuing open data efforts and formed an Innovation Office thanks to the groundwork laid by the fellowship in strengthening Austin's civic tech community.
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and Government 2.0, and how large organizations like the ABC can adopt Web 2.0 approaches. It notes that Web 2.0 is characterized by collaboration over control, with users helping to build value. For Government 2.0, this is even more difficult but follows similar principles. The ABC is encouraged to make more content openly available, engage communities around programs, and get more community-generated content while reducing barriers to online engagement.
This document discusses how web 2.0 technologies are impacting government activities and policies. It begins by providing examples of how citizens are using web 2.0 tools to monitor government activities and provide feedback. This includes projects like Peer-to-Patent, Patient Opinion, and farmsubsidy.org. The document then argues that governments should embrace these grassroots initiatives rather than try to control them. It suggests governments should promote digital literacy, publish open data, and support bottom-up projects through funding. Finally, it presents a vision for a more transparent and participatory model of e-government that leverages web 2.0 approaches.
Open Data: From the Information Age to the Action Age (PDF with notes)Tim O'Reilly
This is the presentation I made at the UK Department for International Aid/Omidyar Network OpenUp! conference in London on November 13, 2012. I talk about open government not as a platform for transparency or citizen engagement, but for a developer ecosystem building useful services. A video of this talk is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OIlxdpfu71o
The document discusses open source software in government. It begins with an agenda for a presentation on Acquia and OpenGov, two companies that provide open source solutions. It then shares two stories - one about the early development of the open web and another about how HealthCare.gov was fixed using modern software practices. The presentation argues that open source and open standards are essential for innovation, allow infrastructure to be shared, and drive down costs. It provides examples of government agencies using open source successfully and addresses common myths about open source software. The presentation concludes by emphasizing that the modern web runs on open source and it is riskier to rely solely on proprietary technologies.
This is a great primer for any municipality, community foundation, nonprofit, and/or civic tech outfit that is interested in replicating the Smart Chicago model.
The document discusses the need for the next generation of open data to move beyond current practices. It argues that open data should follow principles of the open web by being open source, using open standards, and having a federated structure. Specifically, it advocates for open data portals from different organizations that are interconnected, use of common metadata, technology and file standards, and for open data to support a variety of uses and users beyond just transparency. The goal is for open data to enable innovation, be integrated into workflows, and help build smarter cities and governments. It calls on data scientists and others to help realize this vision of next generation open data.
This is my presentation for the 2011 We Live NY Summit. Presentation provides a brief overview of Gov 2.0 and some great examples of how Gov 2.0 is making government more participatory, collaborative and transparent. Please feel free to email me with any questions, enjoy!

It explored opportunities for using open data and geospatial technologies within corporate information management and business intelligence. The presentation concluded by emphasizing the importance of championing open data and taking a strategic approach to data access and collaboration now in order to optimize resources and enable new approaches to service delivery through open government.
The City that NetWorks: Transforming Society and Economy Through Digital Exce...Daniel X. O'Neil
The document summarizes the vision and recommendations of the Mayor's Advisory Council on Closing the Digital Divide in Chicago. The Council's vision is for Chicago to achieve universal "digital excellence" through five key drivers: effective network access, affordable hardware, suitable software, digital education, and evolving mindsets. This would lead to "digital transformation" through improved education, community, commerce, and government. To achieve this vision, the summary recommends launching a large-scale "Campaign for Digital Excellence" involving the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. It also recommends creating a new institution called the "Partnership for a Digital Chicago" to oversee and coordinate the campaign citywide.

China has been increasing censorship by blocking access to websites through its "Great Firewall." This has impacted Google's search engine and mobile services, reducing its advertising revenue. Tensions have risen since January 2010 when Google took a stance against China's censorship and hacking of its servers. While China has 400 million internet users, they only account for $250-600 million of Google's projected $28 billion in annual revenue. The relationship between the commercial and political powers remains uncertain.
The document discusses digital futures and community ecosystems. It notes that data volumes are growing exponentially and open data provides opportunities for innovation. It outlines different ecosystems like natural, social, economic and digital ecosystems. The digital community ecosystem has many interconnected parts. Emerging technologies like social media, analytics, cloud computing and the internet of everything will impact digital futures. Open data fuels the development of intelligent communities. Sustainable digital communities require metrics, partnerships and leadership across sectors.
Affordable Internet Options (Launch of FreedomPop in Chicago)Daniel X. O'Neil
Mayor Emanuel announced that Chicago will serve as a pilot city for a new nationwide campaign called EveryoneOn that aims to expand affordable internet access and digital literacy training. As part of this initiative, 1.1 million Chicago residents living in low-income areas will be eligible for a new low-cost wireless internet option provided by FreedomPop, in addition to the existing low-cost Comcast Internet Essentials program. The EveryoneOn campaign couples increasing affordable internet access with free digital skills training and brings together various public and private partners. Data from previous City programs shows that residents who receive technology training are more likely to find employment or increase earnings.
This document provides an overview of civic tech, including:
1. A top-line definition of civic tech as the use of technology for the public good. It distinguishes public good from personal or private interests by dealing with shared public challenges.
2. A list of over 30 common types of civic tech tools and their functions, such as crowdfunding platforms, issue reporting platforms, and sensors.
3. Examples of common social processes in civic tech like convening groups, informing the public, building projects, and codifying best practices. This illustrates that civic tech involves both tools and people working together.
4. Different ways civic tech can be organized based on the degree of change sought,

This study uses a mathematical model to optimize radiation fractionation schedules by allowing fraction sizes to vary over time. The model accounts for how tumor geometry, sensitivity, and repopulation change as the tumor shrinks during treatment. Optimizing fraction sizes increased the tumor control probability from 0.7 to 0.966. The optimal schedule used larger fractions on Friday afternoons to compensate for weekend breaks, with afternoon fractions being larger than morning fractions. Fraction sizes also escalated over the course of treatment as the tumor became more sensitive and grew faster.

Towards smart riyadh riyadh wiki information and complaining systemIJMIT JOURNAL
In the past ten years, the role of citizens to achieve smart city vision is realized and the people-centric Smart City model has been stressed. In this paper, we propose “Riyadh Wiki Information and Complaining System” for citizen engagement in Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. The system follows the crowd sourcing approach by allowing citizens to act as sources of data to support the government and to improve their city. It also follows the co-design approach by being an open source platform that allows citizens to cooperate to build the system and add new services. The system aims at enhancing citizens’ life and solving governmental issues like transparency, trust, decision-making, and accountability in a cheap way. It is developed as a web-based wiki system, so it can be used easily by the non-skilled citizens while allowing skilled citizens to add new features, functionalities, and new services. It supports both Arabic and English languages and exploits the widespread of social media to attract more citizens. Initial evaluations using eparticipation assessment, web accessibility and web usability evaluation techniques have been carried out and the results show the effectiveness of the system.

Open Data Innovation in Smart Cities: Challenges and TrendsEdward Curry
Open Data initiatives are increasingly considered as defining elements of emerging smart cities. However, few studies have attempted to provide a better understanding of the nature of this convergence and the impact on both domains. This talk examines the challenges and trends with open data initiatives using a socio-technical perspective of smart cities. The talk presents findings from a detailed study of 18 open data initiatives across five smart cities to identify emerging best practice. Three distinct waves of open data innovation for smart cities are discussed. The talk details the specific impacts of open data innovation on the different smart cities domains, governance of the cities, and the nature of datasets available in the open data ecosystem within smart cities.
The document discusses open data and its benefits. It defines open data as government data that is readily available with no legal or technological barriers. The presentation outlines key benefits of open data including promoting transparency, innovation and economic opportunities. Global trends in open data are examined, including the launch of the Open Government Partnership. Challenges in implementing open data are also reviewed.

Revitalizing democracy - the power of online toolsMadarasz Csaba
The document discusses how new technologies can help revitalize democracy by reducing information inequalities. It profiles several civic technology organizations that are developing tools to promote government transparency and public participation. These include platforms for online deliberation, freedom of information requests, reporting local issues, and monitoring elected representatives. While technology alone cannot improve democracy, open-source tools provided by civic groups and businesses can support innovative practices and shift power dynamics if adopted by governments. Overall, the document is optimistic that grassroots democratic innovations made possible by new information technologies have potential to positively impact official political processes.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Oregon

is
a
follow
up
to
Ideas4Oregon,
a
2010
contest
for
a
“million
dollar”
idea
that
got
more
than
200
entries
and
promised
to
spend
up
to
$1MM
to
bring
the
best
one
to
life.
That
project
was
built
on
top
of
another
commercial
plamorm
called
UserVoice;
they
open
sourced
the
ideas
so
everyone
could
see
them
(just

“Managing
a
resident-‐centered,
resident-‐led
design
process
entrusts
decision-‐making
to
the
community
and
invites
everyone
to
par6cipate.
It
requires
more
6me,
effort
and
resources
than
unilateral
decision-‐making.
We’re
asking
community

to
