Open data hackathons are events where the actors from an ecosystem collaborate to build platforms that will benefit the public, creating a win–win scenario for all of them. Sadly, many digital services produced in hackathons are discarded only by providing access to open data that cannot boost economic benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to create a model that fosters value and entrepreneurship for the open data ecosystem, aiming to develop an economically self-sustained ecosystem. The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges participants of open data hackathons can face to present a model that will support the improvement of these contests. This paper uses the quadruple/quintuple helix innovation model to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in Thessaloniki’s open data ecosystem to develop applications using open data. The results indicate that, although actors are aware of open data use, a new type of open data ecosystem that creates a win–win scenario between the entities in the open data ecosystem is required. The proposed model implies a full effect that promotes cooperation and networking among the entities in the city’s ecosystem towards achieving the aim of increasing citizens’ quality of life.

The concept of public information in the form of open data and its main features are studied. It is determined that due to the possible wide application of open data, the definition of the main grounds for the classification of open data is an insufficiently covered issue. The purpose of this study is to determine the types and criteria for the classification of public information in the form of open data. This is necessary for their widespread use in order to solve socially important tasks and to use their full potential in unusual directions. The author has analyzed international reports on open data and identified the problems of the quality of such data and the possibility of using them to solve socially important tasks. The classification of open data is formed on the following grounds: 1. by data type; 2. by data format; 3. by subject. The article determines the value of open data to society and the possibility of its wide use in the example of other countries. The problems that complicate the implementation of the government data discovery initiative in Ukraine include the underdeveloped culture of open government; insufficient level of training of public authorities to work with open data; insufficient funding for the public data discovery initiative; low level of public awareness and interest in public data and the benefits of using it. Unfortunately, most citizens are still satisfying their curiosity by using open data. The author notes that using data that describes the patterns we live in can help us solve problems in ways we may not have anticipated. As a rule, public sector systems do not respond too quickly on changes. With open data, they could track, predict and respond to real-time changes. This would allow the public sector to streamline its processes and services and it would be possible to clearly identify areas for improving and increasing productivity, to develop specialized solutions based on various demographic indicators and other factors. This would be a huge transformational leap in attracting open data to the public sector, as it opens up a number of areas for innovation. The author substantiates the importance of open data for public sector transformation, economic benefits and their use as an instrument for creating an information society.

<p><em>Open Data</em><em> (OD) </em><em>is data that is publicly available and free for anyone to use, reuse and redistribute.</em><em> </em><em>The Bandung</em><em> City</em><em> Government is the first </em><em>municipality</em><em> government in Indonesia to implement OD programs as a form of public service in the digital era. Although E-government practices have been applied to public services provided by various Central and Regional government agencies in Indonesia, in general there are still obstacles related to the extent to which the data can be accessed </em><em>and used-reused </em><em>by the public for various purposes. The study conducted in the Bandung </em><em>Municipality</em><em> Government was directed at efforts to find an effective OD innovation management model in the public sector by using qualitative methods with a case study strategy. Based on field findings, the OD program carried out at the Bandung Government is a collaboration of multiple actors and stakeholders (communities, private sector, NGOs) starting from the initiation stage up to its implementation. In this case, the Bandung City Government together with the various parties involved built an Open Data ecosystem that aims to produce credible data for decision making, and create a more transparent and accountable government.</em><em> </em><em>The implementation of this program has not been fully effective because the implementation has not been optimally integrated in Public Information Services (LIP). This has implications for the mechanism of unclear and non-smooth coordination and communication between fields and between Regional Government Work Units (SKPD) which are responsible for implementing OD and LIP. </em><em>The stuation</em><em> raises different views on the selection and display of data published (information dissemination). </em></p>

This paper focuses on transportation models in smart cities. We propose a new dynamic mobility traffic (DMT) scheme which combines public buses and car ride-sharing. The main objective is to improve transportation by maximizing the riders’ satisfaction based on real-time data exchange between the regional manager, the public buses, the car ride-sharing and the riders. OpenStreetMap and OMNET++ were used to implement a realistic scenario for the proposed model in a city like Ottawa. The DMT scheme was compared to a multi-loading system used for a school bus. Simulations showed that rider satisfaction was enhanced when a suitable combination of transportation modes was used. Additionally, compared to the other scheme, this DMT scheme can reduce the stress level of car ride-sharing and public buses during the day to the minimal level.

Impedance-based stability analysis is an effective method for addressing a new type of SSO accidents that have occurred in recent years, especially those caused by the control interaction between a DFIG and the power grid. However, the existing impedance modeling of DFIGs is mostly focused on a single converter, such as the GSC or RSC, and the influence between the RSC and GSC, as well as the frequency coupling effect inside the converter are usually overlooked, reducing the accuracy of DFIG stability analysis. Hence, the entire impedance is proposed in this paper for the DFIG-based WECS, taking coupling factors into account (e.g., DC bus voltage dynamics, asymmetric current regulation in the dq frame, and PLL). Numerical calculations and HIL simulations on RT-Lab were used to validate the proposed model. The results indicate that the entire impedance model with frequency coupling is more accurate, and it is capable of accurately predicting the system’s possible resonance points.

AbstractCRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary technology because it is precise, fast and easy to implement, cheap and components are readily accessible. This versatility means that the technology can deliver a timely end product and can be used by many stakeholders. In plant cells, the technology can be applied to knockout genes by using CRISPR–Cas nucleases that can alter coding gene regions or regulatory elements, alter precisely a genome by base editing to delete or regulate gene expression, edit precisely a genome by homology-directed repair mechanism (cellular DNA), or regulate transcriptional machinery by using dead Cas proteins to recruit regulators to the promoter region of a gene. All these applications can be for: 1) Research use (Non commercial), 2) Uses related product components for the technology itself (reagents, equipment, toolkits, vectors etc), and 3) Uses related to the development and sale of derived end products based on this technology. In this contribution, we present a prototype report that can engage the community in open, inclusive and collaborative innovation mapping. Using the open data at the Lens.org platform and other relevant sources, we tracked, analyzed, organized, and assembled contextual and bridged patent and scholarly knowledge about CRISPR-Cas9 and with the assistance of a new Lens institutional capability, The Lens Report Builder, currently in beta release, mapped the public and commercial innovation pathways of the technology. When scaled, this capability will also enable coordinated editing and curation by credentialed experts to inform policy makers, businesses and private or public investment.

Open data provide great potential for society, for example, in the field of smart cities, from which all citizens might profit. The trust of these citizens is important for the integration of various data, like sensitive user data, into an open data ecosystem. In the following study, we analyzed whether transparency about the application of open data promotes trust. Furthermore, we formulated guidelines on how to create transparency regarding open data in an ethical way. Using an open-data-based fictitious smart city app, we conducted an experiment analyzing to what extent communication of the technical open data application process and the ethical self-commitment for the transparent communication of data application affect trust in the app’s provider. The results indicate that the more information users obtain regarding the use of open data, the more trustworthy they perceive the app provider to be, and the more likely they are to use the app.

Government officials claim open data can improve internal and external communication and collaboration. These promises hinge on “data intermediaries”: extra-institutional actors that obtain, use, and translate data for the public. However, we know little about why these individuals might regard open data as a site of civic participation. In response, we draw on Ilana Gershon to conceptualize culturally situated and socially constructed perspectives on data, or “data ideologies.” This study employs mixed methodologies to examine why members of the public hold particular data ideologies and how they vary. In late 2015 the authors engaged the public through a commission in a diverse city of approximately 500,000. Qualitative data was collected from three public focus groups with residents. Simultaneously, we obtained quantitative data from surveys. Participants’ data ideologies varied based on how they perceived data to be useful for collaboration, tasks, and translations. Bucking the “geek” stereotype, only a minority of those surveyed (20%) were professional software developers or engineers. Although only a nascent movement, we argue open data intermediaries have important roles to play in a new political landscape.

In the 1580s, Cervantes turned to writing for the stage in pursuit of a career as a professional playwright, capitalizing on the popularity of the public theatres and the lucrative trade it produced. However, after a modicum of success his career was soon thwarted by the comedia nueva and the advent of Lope de Vega in the late-1580s would take that obsession to a national level. This chapter explores the first stage of Cervantes’s writing career prior to this new type of play establishing a monopoly on the tastes of the paying public.
