The Scope of Samos 2012 Summit on Open Data for Governance, Industry and Society


Open data provide an unprecedented opportunity for societies to move towards transparency, evidence-based decisions, enhanced cohesion, public engagement and trust. Public sector information may be offered as ”open data” in many forms and through different media: from simple datasets describing traffic or unemployment, to web services linking and mashing information from different sources, to interactive visualization of complex phenomena, to citizen-based data gathering and transmission. This way, new information is made available to scientists, citizens and enterprises for developing and offering value-adding services, thus forming a supply chain around publicly available open data. 

In this context, the ENGAGE project (http://www.engage-project.eu ), funded by the European Commission under the e-Infrastructures Programme, aims at the deployment and use of an advanced service infrastructure, incorporating distributed and diverse public sector information resources as well as data curation, semantic annotation and visualisation tools, capable of supporting scientific collaboration and governance-related research from multi-disciplinary scientific communities, while also empowering the deployment of open governmental data towards citizens.

The Samos 2012 Summit on Ope Data is co-organised by the University of Aegean, the Greek Interoperability Centre of the National Technical University of Athens and the ENGAGE eInfrastructures project, managed by European Commission, in order to foster international cooperation and strive for a new research and practice agenda in open data and collaborative governance.

With an emphasis on Open Data and a new partipative governance model  for the public sector,  the enterprise and within a connected, inclusive society, the Samos  Summit will be a first-class opportunity to see, interact with and influence cutting-edge European ICT research projects and initiatives.

The Samos 2012 Summit on Open Data, aims at bringing together policy makers, industry representatives, research and academia to actively interact, share best practices and contribute in shaping the European Union  agenda.
