16:28:52 <PhilA> Topic: Pierre Andrews, University of São Paulo, Brazil
16:29:13 <PhilA> -> Pierre's slides http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/images/1/1e/USP-EGOV-Automatic-Citizen.pdf
16:30:40 <Zakim> + +1.703.527.aakk
16:30:46 <RachelFlagg> Pierre's presentation entitled "Parliamentary Transparency - Not Only a Data Challenge"
16:31:32 <RachelFlagg> Many countries legislating transparency laws
16:32:50 <RachelFlagg> Brazil is focusing on parliamentary process (representatives, what they do, what they vote on)
16:33:15 <RachelFlagg> Many are proactively opening data
16:34:18 <RachelFlagg> Issues around data distribution include no standard format, expensive process, difficulty in procuring data
16:36:25 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Citizens don't care about format or legislative process
16:37:22 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: transparency should enable citizens, need to find ways around technical challenges
16:39:16 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Automatic Citizen project enables public participation by allowing citizens to vote on public projects
16:40:39 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: gauge citizen preferences on which topics are most important to them
16:42:01 <DanielBennett> Issues to consider. Government provides non-editorial version of data. Leave it to the NGOs, partidos/parties, media to add their own metadata, applications, opinions, etc.
16:42:08 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Efforts underway to explain projects in plain language, to make complicated legal jargon understandable to citizens
16:43:45 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Focus on filtering out projects that citizens care most about
16:45:20 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Use standard natural language processing techniques
16:45:40 <DanielBennett> Be aware of effort to develop a standard for legislative documents, which may help with downstream applications (and for some jurisdictions an XSLT into LegalDocML will allow for easier comparison and applications).
16:45:43 <DanielBennett> https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legaldocml
16:46:29 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: too many laws; uninteresting laws; how to differentiate between strong support for/against, and automate
16:47:06 <DanielBennett> q+
16:48:05 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Challenges: understand citizen needs; access to data; make it machine-readable and valuable to citizens; make members of parliament use the computer systems
16:49:01 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Key is to learn what's important to citizens
16:49:42 <PhilA> q+
16:49:46 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: Issues getting citizens to participate and tell parliament what they want
16:50:14 <Jeanne_Holm> ack DanielBennett
16:53:23 <RachelFlagg> DanielBennett: discussing OASIS LegalDocumentML
16:54:01 <Zakim> - +1.703.516.aaee
16:54:02 <RachelFlagg> DanielBennett: explaining how US Govt official record only contains specifics "on the record" and other groups supplement w/dialogue, discussion

16:56:02 <DanielBennett> please mute if you are not talking. thanks
16:58:10 <RachelFlagg> Pierre_Andrews: discussing ways for moderators to connect citizens and parliament; people on both sides may not have technical skills to use online tools

17:01:06 <RachelFlagg> Johanna back online, continuing w/her presentation now
17:03:08 <RachelFlagg> Johanne: reviewing roadmap
17:03:51 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Basic level includes data identification, pilots and prototypes
17:04:31 <RachelFlagg> Correction: Initial level (2012) includes data identification, pilots and prototypes
17:05:02 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Basic level 2013 includes analysis and release of data
17:05:35 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Advanced level (2014) includes quality assurance, collaboration
17:06:08 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Improved level (2015) includes sustainability, impact assessment
17:07:47 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Opening circle: inventory, analysis, prioritize, add metadata to structure, publish, incentivize
17:09:08 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Achievements include data catalogue http://www.datos.gov.co/
17:10:20 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: Apps store http://www.aplicaciones.gov.co/ (64 apps, 21 using open data)
17:11:23 <PhilA> It was actually the Web Foundation that published the Open data Index. See http://www.webfoundation.org/2012/09/introducing-the-open-data-index/
17:12:07 <PhilA> W3C and the Web Foundation are both TimBL's organisations but they're quite separate
17:12:21 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: more work to be done; addressing emerging barriers such as legal framework, business models, incentives
17:12:58 <DanielBennett> time for 3rd presentation?
17:14:03 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: goals for this year include conducting hackathons, reaching goal of 100 apps for social services, training, releasing data most-requested by citizens, encouraging 3rd-party use
17:14:58 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: solutions need to balance citizen needs w/agency services
17:15:52 <RachelFlagg> Johanna: big challenge is agency fear of losing control of data, including legal concerns and motives of 3rd parties
