Schon gewusst? Für diese Datensätze gelten besondere Anforderungen an Offenheit, Qualität und Nachnutzbarkeit.

Diese Anforderungen müssen erfüllt sein:

1️⃣ kostenlos verfügbar sein,
2️⃣ maschinenlesbar bereitgestellt werden,
3️⃣ offene Lizenzen nutzen und
4️⃣ über Schnittstellen wie APIs zugänglich sein.

Das übergeordnete Ziel ist es, die Datennutzung und Innovation zu erleichtern und öffentliche Informationen besser nutzbar zu machen.

As many of the AI stories on Walled Culture attest, one of the most contentious areas in the latest stage of AI development concerns the sourcing of training data. To create high-quality large language models (LLMs) massive quantities of training data are required. In the current genAI stampede, many companies are simply scraping everything they can off the Internet. Quite how that will work […]

Und auch national wächst das Open-Data-Ökosystem:

Über GovData sind inzwischen hunderttausende Datensätze aus Bund, Ländern und Kommunen auffindbar.

Die EU-Open-Data-Richtlinie und nationale Datenstrategien sind mitunter die Grundlagen, die offenen Zugang, Standardisierung und Interoperabilität fördern.

Seeking advice. I frequently teach a #HigherEd #AcademicChatter class in the US on Social Informatics which includes a module on #OpenGovernment and #CivicTech to give students an overview of the sector (international, national, state/provincial, local) as a public good, driver of economic health, and locus for potential careers. Obviously there have been changes in US federal policies with deleterious trends in the past year, and I have those covered.

I am seeking help covering emerging #DigitalSovereignty trends. Especially those which involve non-US entities leaving or planning departures from US-based tech because of any combination of tariff demands, copyright/surveillance policies, or other concerns about corporate and/or political power. I already cover the UK transition to Open Document Format in 2014. So I'm not presenting this as something new, but the speed and urgency is definitely picking up (see example links of EU moves to promote FOSS alternatives to US tech, France dropping Teams and Zoom).

1. Examples and links are definitely welcome

2. Thoughts from folks about how to explain this emergent scenario to US-based #ComputerScience and #Informatics and other college students, and its impacts on their futures. Thoughts from outside and inside the US are very welcome.

3. Same as no.2 but where do you see this trend in 5 years? 10 years?

You read this far? Thank you! Wow!

UC Berkeley's California Local Government Documents Collection, hosted by the @internetarchive, is transforming access to local government information. This initiative digitizes over 10,000 publications from cities, counties, & regional agencies across California, ensuring transparency and accountability.

The Internet Archive’s new designation as a U.S. federal depository library marks a shift in how government information is preserved and accessed. Senator Alex Padilla’s July 24 letter to the Government Publishing Office formalized the move, melding public accountability with the Archive’s digital-first mission. As part of a network of over 1,150 depository libraries, the Archive now solidifies its role in democratizing access to federal publications while facing ongoing legal and governance scrutiny.

TL;DR
📚 Gains official FDLP status
🤝 Integrates with government library network
🌐 Enhances access to federal documents
🧠 Raises questions of governance and oversight

"A DSIT spokesperson told New Scientist: “No one should be spending time on something AI can do better and more quickly. Built in Whitehall, Redbox is helping us harness the power of AI in a safe, secure, and practical way – making it easier for officials to summarise documents, draft agendas and more. This ultimately speeds up our work and frees up officials to focus on shaping policy and improving services – driving the change this country needs.”

But the use of generative AI tools concerns some experts. Large language models have well-documented issues around bias and accuracy that are difficult to mitigate, so we have no way of knowing if Redbox is providing good-quality information. DSIT declined to answer specific questions about how users of Redbox avoid inaccuracies or bias.

“My issue here is that government is supposed to serve the public, and part of that service is that we – as taxpayers, as voters, as the electorate – should have a certain amount of access to understanding how decisions are made and what the processes are in terms of decision-making,” says Catherine Flick at the University of Staffordshire, UK.

Because generative AI tools are black boxes, Flick is concerned that it isn’t easy to test or understand how it reaches a particular output, such as highlighting certain aspects of a document over others. The government’s unwillingness to share that information further reduces transparency, she says.

That lack of transparency extends to a third government department, the Treasury."

#OpenGovernment steht für einen kulturellen Wandel im Verhältnis von Bürger und Staat, der zu mehr #Transparenz, mehr Teilhabe und einer intensiveren Zusammenarbeit führen kann. Offene Daten sind Teil und notwendige Voraussetzung für diesen Prozess der Öffnung. Das kann zu mehr #Rechenschaft und #Pflichtbewusstsein der Amtsträger gegenüber der Allgemeinheit führen. Transparentes Verwaltunghandeln ist außerdem das beste Mittel gegen #Korruption. https://www.bpb.de/themen/daten/opendata/64055/was-sind-offene-daten

"Disproportionately, the datasets that are no longer accessible through the portal come from the Department of Energy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of the Interior, NASA, and the Environmental Protection Agency. But determining what is actually gone and what has simply moved or is backed up elsewhere by the government is a manual task, and it's too early to say for sure what is gone and what may have been renamed or updated with a newer version.

This is because data.gov doesn’t always host the data that it is indexing. Sometimes the data is hosted directly on data.gov, but other times it links to an individual agency’s website, where the data is actually hosted. This means archiving and analyzing data.gov is not straightforward.

“Some of [the entries link to] actual data,” Cushman told 404 Media. “And some of them link to a landing page [where the data is hosted]. And the question is—when things are disappearing, is it the data it points to that is gone? Or is it just the index to it that’s gone?”"

Unrealized ideas: Unintentional Secrecy in the Era of Openness

by @beet_keeper

Tyler recently posted this quote:

“History unprocessed is opportunity unrealized”

It reminds me of an unrealized article I wasn’t able to get written and into the wild, but it’s an important thought I would like to share nonetheless.

Proposed for James Lowry’s ACARM Symposium in 2015, I wanted to discuss when government is unable to adequately fund day-to-day effort, and research and development in the archive sector, leading to inefficient and potentially ineffective processing pipelines for records of archival value accessioned from government agencies and commissions.

It was just an abstract, but maybe folks have thoughts about this? Have we moved on since the early to mid 2010’s? What modern metrics do we have available to us today to see the progress? What does the advent of the new US administration mean for issues like this? As well as increasing worldwide authoritarianism?

True.

Also true is that #facebook, #whatsapp, #instagram and #twitter are "real world systems". They are all centralized, from the US and once they imposed their reign they f*** everything up.

So yes, when it comes to #privacy and #democracy I'm all about purity and ethics, #decentralization, #freeOpenSource and #openGovernment.

"Increased transparency and oversight by independent integrity bodies may help take some of the ‘sting’ out of public disaffection at times of emergency powers in future."

Maybe we need something like a Public Services Commission? Which would canvas and represent the PoV of the public on the convenient (for *us*) and *effective* running of public services? It could review things like the IPCA rubber-stamping of killer cops, as well as being the institutional home for things like the Open Government Partnership.
