 The Digital Government Society (DGS) will hold the 25th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research ? dg.o 2024, with a special focus on the theme "Internet of Beings: Transforming Public Governance?.
The Internet of Beings focuses on digital technologies that enable integration, people centric, and creation of open platforms for collaborative multiuser to co-create services and products. The theme of the conference aims to attract studies to bring the benefits of digital technologies, such as AI, Blockchain, open platforms, Internet of Things, wearable devices, big data, etc, have long been experienced holistically and compressively. In this respect, the conference will serve as a catalyst, and will bring a greater focus on integration, collaboration, and value creation. The conference will organize around topics that not only showcase new technologies, but also help to pinpoint where governments can achieve the greatest value.
 
TRACK 22. Sustainable Public and Open Data Ecosystems

Track chairs: Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu, Estonia), Anthony Simonofski (Université de Namur ASBL, Belgium), Anneke Zuiderwijk (Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands) & Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar (University of Granada, Spain)

Public and open data ecosystems promise the transformation of government data-driven actions, the fostering of public sector innovations and the collaborative smartification of cities, society and life, triggering value-adding sustainable development goals- compliant smart living and society 5.0 (Nikiforova, 2021, Nikiforova et al., 2023). Recent research found that concepts affecting and shaping the ecosystem are: 1) stakeholders / actors and their roles, 2) phases of the data lifecycle, in which a stakeholder participates in the ecosystem, 3) technical and technological infrastructure, 4) generic services and platforms, 5) human capacities and skills of both providers and consumers, 6) smart city domains (thematic categories) as the targeted areas for data reuse, 7) externalities affecting goals, policy, and resources, 8) level of (de)centralization of data sources – development, restrictions, 9) perception of importance and support from public officials, and 10) user interface, user experience, and usability (Lnenicka et al., 2021). The body of knowledge in the above areas (not to say about putting them all together) is very limited. New research is needed to help public managers and politicians for (1) implementing emerging technologies and technological innovations, (2) improving the achievement of sustainable development goals for increasing transparency, participation, and cooperation, and (3) meeting the stakeholders’ expectations, needs, regulations and demands. 

This track welcomes contributions covering, but not limited to:

💡 The concepts of theoretical approaches toward Public Data ecosystems, Open Data ecosystems, Data Spaces, and Data Marketplaces;

💡Infrastructures supporting Public and Open Data Ecosystems;

💡The role of emerging technologies in Public and Open Data ecosystems;

💡Institutional aspects of implementing sustainable Public and Open Data Ecosystems;

💡Other sustainability dimensions of Public and Open Data Ecosystems;

💡Stakeholder-centric dimensions of Public and Open Data Ecosystems;

💡Case studies of Public and Open Data Ecosystems;

💡The impact of Public and Open Data Ecosystems on Individuals, Organizations and Society.

The track welcomes both contributions covering the current state-of-the-art of public data ecosystems (what components constitute them, what are the relationships between these components, what makes an ecosystem resilient and sustainable), incl. individual case studies reflecting best or bad practices, as well as those addressing how these ecosystems can be transformed into more sustainable ecosystems that will “fuel” or “smartify” society (Information Society aka Society 4.0 to Super Smart Society aka Society 5.0 transition), cities and various areas of life.

The track is very in line with the conference theme of DGO 2024, namely: Internet of Beings – Transforming Public Governance, where, “the Internet of Beings focuses on digital technologies that enable integration, people-centric, and creation of open platforms for collaborative multi-user to co-create services and products” (as mentioned in the theme description). Public and open data ecosystems can be considered as such open platforms, where data providers and data users find each other and collaborate and co-create to develop services and products useful for society. While digital technologies enable the development of public and open data ecosystems, the adoption of such ecosystems has been fragmented.
