Analysis of Information System Investment Using Public Data

The present paper shows several information instruments created in the Republic of Moldova for the purpose of ensuring transparency in science, innovation and scientific staff training. Their evolution, the way in which they could help enhancing transparency in Moldovan researchdevelopment- innovation system, shortcomings in ensuring greater visibility, have been investigated. Three information instruments developed (or under preparation) by the Information Society Development Institute have been examined in detail: i) National Bibliometric Instrument – a digital information system which is a database for collecting, classifying and processing public data on scientific publications in Moldovan scientific journals; ii) EXPERT online – an online information system for applying and assessment of draft programs and projects in the area of science and innovation; iii) Digital Map of Science – a platform in which the functions of existing systems are to be integrated under a common roof in order to provide one-stop-shop services.

Abstract During conflicts, deaths from disease, often from vaccine-preventable diseases, outnumber deaths from violence. The current study was a quantitative, descriptive, case series investigating the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in refugee populations using geographic information system (GIS) analysis. We focused on cholera, diphtheria, measles, and tuberculosis in the Dadaab complex (primarily Somali and Sudanese), Rohingya, Syrian, Venezuelan, and Yemeni refugee populations. We used retrospective data available to the public. Data were missing for many diseases. Cases of cholera ranged from 1.3 million (Yemen) to 1777 (Dadaab); fatalities ranged from 2500 (Yemen) to 14 (Dadaab). Cases of diptheria ranged from 7340 (Rohingya) to 1249 (Venezuela); fatalities ranged from 214 (Yemen) to 45 (Rohingya). Cases of measles ranged from 6395 (Venezuela) to 104 (Syria); no fatalities were reported. The only data reported for tuberculosis was for Rohingya (880 cases). Our results suggested GIS analysis may be a beneficial resource to address refugee health.

An open reuse of public data and tools can turn the government into a powerful ‘platform’ also involving external innovators. However, the typical information system of a public agency is not open by design. Several public administrations have started adopting technical solutions to overcome this issue, typically in the form of middleware layers operating as ‘buses’ between data centres and the outside world. Open-DAI is an open source platform designed to expose data as services, directly pulling from legacy databases of the data holder. The platform is the result of an ongoing project funded under the EU ICT PSP call 2011. We present the rationale and features of Open-DAI, also through a comparison with three other open data platforms: the Socrata Open Data portal, CKAN, and ENGAGE.
