Open Data and Transparency: a Paradigm Shift LAPSI / EVPSI Conference Torino Benedetto Ponti

LAPSI Torino A further step on the path of transparency (?) if it's so: - open data now !!! - how to accelerate? - how to optimize? - go on this way...

LAPSI Torino the transparency paradigm 1) access to/ pro-active dissemination of PSI 2) what matters is disclosure 3) How to size the tools (access/dissemination)? 4) a small gap between information (disclosed) understanting meaning (delivered)

LAPSI Torino transparency outcomes accountability fairness efficiency... less corruption (empty)

LAPSI Torino Does Open Data fit with this paradigm? 1. multiple purposes 1. aims, subject, options are vested on re-users ! information (disclosed) understanting meaning (delivered) re-users

LAPSI Torino Open Data ('s transparency) outcomes accountability fairness efficiency participation less corruption empower the empowered misuse / falsification more inequalities fragmentation less social trust

LAPSI Torino Why doesn't fit ? Information & power Disclosure paradigm Open Data paradigm transparency is functional to power 1. legitimation 2. auditing 3. instrumentum regni a sharing / transfert of power 1. legal requirements 2. technical requirements 3. no boundaries / finalization

LAPSI Torino a different paradigm: some features 1. re-location of power 2. the crucial role of re-users 3. Open Data is about freedom ( …not equality) 4. antibodies embedded 5. (potential) abundance & bottlenecks: lack/scarcity of final users' attention re-user reputation
