dg.o 2024: Track 11. Digital Platform Government and Core Public Values

The concept of a digital platform government can be traced back to the UK's GOV.UK and the Obama administration's Open Government Initiative. There is no agreed-upon definition of the concept, so it is more productive to compare it with similar concepts. The digital platform government differs from e-government by focusing on process innovation and being a public-private partnership service model. It emphasizes active participation of stakeholders and the use of intelligent technologies. Both the digital platform government and e-government models emphasize online citizen participation, but the digital platform government allows citizens to have a more active role in government decision-making. The core public values pursued by the digital platform government include efficiency, accountability, fairness, participation, collaboration, transparency, narrowing the digital divide, and digital equity. The digital platform government is operated in various forms depending on its purpose or the role of the government. Scholars have proposed various types of digital platforms based on their purposes and the role of the government. With this broad understanding about digital platform government, we invite papers that explore the relationship between various digital platform government practices and core public values.

dg.o 2024: 25th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research<https://dgsociety.org/dgo-2024/>
The Digital Government Society (DGS) announces the 25th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research - dg.o 2024, with the theme "Internet of Beings: Transforming Public Governance" in Taipei, Taiwan on June 11-14, 2024.
The conference's main host is the Department of Political Science & the Graduate Institute of Public Affairs, College of Social Sciences, at the National Taiwan University. The conference is also co-hosted by the Department of Public Administration at the National Chengchi University, the Department of Public Administration at the Chung Hua University, and the Taipei City Government.
The dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year, the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory and practice, their focus on important and timely topics, and the quality of their writing.
THEME & TRACK TOPICS:
The 25th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o 2024) will feature the main theme of "Internet of Beings: Transforming Public Governance." The conference's central theme - the Internet of Beings focuses on digital technologies that enable integration, are people-centric, and the creation of open platforms for collaborative multi-user to co-create services and products. Especially, the post-COVID-19 has forced government, private, and non-profit agencies worldwide to find new ways to deliver services. The workforce shifts to remote working partially or entirely; agencies reconfigure services and the supply chains according to uncertain demand; agencies create new services for addressing delivery needs in both the public and private sectors. Digital technologies played an essential role in enabling these changes. However, adoption in the public sector needs to be more cohesive.
Hence, the dg.o 2024 conference can help bridge the 'digital' gaps among different sectors in various countries and regions. Further, the theme of the conference aims to attract studies to bring the benefits of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), hybrid intelligence, blockchain, open platforms, the internet of things (IoT), wearable devices, big data, etc., have long been experienced holistically and compressively. In this respect, the conference will serve as a catalyst and bring a greater focus on integration, collaboration, and value creation. The conference will organize topics that showcase new technologies and help pinpoint where governments can achieve the most significant value.
