This is a great discussion around #InternetGovernance, the #UN, the recent #WSIS +20 review, the importance of #InternetAccess, and in general about what's at stake for the future of the #Internet if we don't get this right... if you have 40 minutes, I recommend giving it a listen!

Al #WSIS l'Assemblea Generale ONU ha confermato il mandato dell'Internet Governance Forum e il modello multistakeholder di governo della Rete.
È una buona notizia: nonostante le istituzioni aperte della Rete (ICANN, IETF, RIRs) abbiano le loro criticità, prima fra tutte l'essere ancora troppo USA-centriche, l'alternativa sarebbe stata la centralizzazione di ogni decisione nei soli organismi governativi

Wikidata 與 #民主資料 的嘗試，在【Wikidata: Attempting to bridge #FOSS ideals and direct democracy】一文中提及了兩個與政府資料相關的專案，展現 Wikidata 在 #民主參與 與 #公共透明度 上的潛力。
。 #GovDirectory：由開源倡議者 Jan Ainali 發起，目標是建立全球政府機構的公開目錄，包含聯絡方式與社群媒體帳號。目前已涵蓋近 40 個國家、約 13,000 個機構，並透過 Wikidata 提供 #結構化資料 支援；目前臺灣社群尚未共同參與這個計劃，但是目前臺灣社群已經完成了全臺灣各級行政區(含村里)以及中央政府各局處的目錄收錄，並持續維護新資料與增補行政區沿革。
。 #AletheiaFact：來自 #巴西 的 #事實查核平台 ，運用 Wikidata 的資料架構與搜尋能量，快速建立查核系統。該平台強調資訊素養教育，並獲得 #世界資訊社會高峰會 （ #WSIS ）獎項提名。這兩個專案的共同特色皆以 Wikidata 為核心，結合 #群眾參與 與開源精神，推動資訊公開與 #民主監督 。透過 Wikidata 的資料連結能力，使用者能夠跨語言、跨領域地查詢與整合資訊，進一步促進公民社會的發展。
文中也指出，Wikidata 的開放性使其成為打擊假訊息與促進事實查核的重要工具。在資訊氾濫的時代，這樣的資料平台不僅是技術資源，更是民主實踐的基礎。

That’s a wrap on the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 High-Level Event! We had an amazing time this week organizing meetings, speaking on panels, exchanging ideas, and engaging with our global community.
We were proud to advocate for the multistakeholder model of Internet governance and lead conversations (like Monday’s panel) on the key topic of community-centered connectivity. To everyone we chatted with in Geneva—thank you! #WSIS
