Communities of volunteers are making contributions on daily bases, thus increasing the quantity as well as the quality of published data. Even more, through commenting, tagging, liking and recommending they leave valuable subjective data descriptions that are crucial for semantic and context based analyses. The research presented in this paper represents an attempt of establishing rating procedure for assessing the extent of reliability, understandability and appropriateness of VGI data gathered from various geo and social networks and public geo databases.

These countries are struggling with many internal issues that are preventing them from providing budgetary resources for investing in ICT infrastructure, staff education, developing strategies, and enacting laws and policies. However, realizing the benefits that e-Government can bring, both to citizens and administration, these countries are working hard towards implementing e-Government and are achieving great results. As one of the developing countries, Serbia has been struggling for years with e-Government ideas. It started with humble implementations nearly ten years ago by publishing only a few informational services, but quickly made significant progress. The efforts made are worthy of recognition while experience gained is of considerable importance not only for Serbia’s further advances in this area but also for all other developing countries as an example and guidance to solving similar pro...

The basic registers are the central information source for information systems of public authorities in the Czech Republic. Along with the Czech Point as the interface to all administrative requests and Data box as the electronic mail box the three projects represent a cornerstone of the effective public administration in the Czech Republic. This paper describes the current status of Public Administration (PA) in the Czech Republic and gives the characteristics of the optimal PA Information System (PAIS) and guidelines for its possible implementation in the Republic of Serbia.

Scientific papers, as product of their extensive work, are used not only for their acknowledgement in academic circles, but also as a term of their promotion, tenure or reapplication. Most of the time, composing the list of references on published work turns into a long-lasting activity. Instead of manually editing and formatting the list, this process should be automated and less time consuming. In this paper we present a Web application for ...

Although Western countries progress rapidly in achieving more open, participatory and transparent relations with users, by adoption of Web 2.0 technologies, less developed countries are slower to progress. This paper examines government websites in the developing countries of the Balkans for the presence of Web 2.0 applications and evaluates the results in comparison with more developed countries. It concludes with suggestions on how countries with e-government models prior to 2.0 can catch up and create an environment for citizen engagement and empowerment.

These challenges are not meant to be an obstacle but a way for introducing new and better environment for the involvement of citizens and their participation in diverse areas of public interest, including government. With the rise of Web 2.0 set of technologies, governments gained an opportunity to provide better services to their users. Web 2.0 has implied many changes ...

Open data platform solutions provide simple tools for enriching governmental portals with a data dimension. The new data-oriented shape of government inevitably imposes the need for the evaluation of government efficiency in light of open data. Regardless of the numerous initiatives, there is still no globally accepted open government evaluation framework. The purpose of the research presented in this chapter is to present and apply a model for assessing data openness, which relies on eight open data principles established by the Open Government Working Group. The model represents a new approach to the evaluation of open data with real-world application capabilities and is fully described throughout the chapter. As a confirmation of this model’s capabilities, we illustrate the results of its application on seven data portals along with analyses, comparisons, and conclusions regarding the results.

Within a utility-wide network, enterprise IT systems collect data from various metering devices. Such data can be effectively used for the prediction of power supply network vulnerability. The purpose of this paper is to present the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)-based Sensor Web integration solution that we have developed with the purpose of enabling prediction of power supply network vulnerability, in terms of a prediction of defect probability for a particular network element. We will give an example of its usage and demonstrate our vulnerability prediction model on data collected from two different power supply companies. The proposed solution is an extension of the GinisSense Sensor Web-based architecture for collecting, processing, analyzing, decision making and alerting based on the data received from heterogeneous data sources. In this case, GinisSense has been upgraded to be capable of operating in an ESB environment and combine Sensor Web and GIS technologies to enable prediction of electric power supply system vulnerability. Aside from electrical values, the proposed solution gathers ambient values from additional sensors installed in the existing power supply network infrastructure. GinisSense aggregates gathered data according to an adapted Omnibus data fusion model and applies decision-making logic on the aggregated data. Detected vulnerabilities are visualized to end-users through means of a specialized Web GIS application.

The benchmark is developed over the adopted Open Government conceptual model, which describes Open Government through data openness, transparency, participation and collaboration. Resulting in two measures, that is, one known as the e-government openness index (eGovOI) and the other Maturity, the benchmark indicates the progress of government over time, the efficiency of recognizing and implementing new concepts and the willingness of the government to recognize and embrace innovative ideas.

Different monitoring systems that are used to gather data form sensing devices and send the collected data for further processing are slowly changing focus. They are becoming more dedicated on the problem of generating relevant information based on collected data, instead of simply collecting the data. Most common data sources in such systems are sensor devices, but ...

U radu je naglašen značaj transformacije e-Uprave, od Uprave orijentisane ka servisima (e-Uprava 1.0), preko Uprave orijentisane ka korisicima (e-Uprava 2.0), do otvorene, transparentne Uprave koja građane i pravna lica uključuje u proces donošenja odluka. Otvorena Uprava, kao novi koncept, povlači pitanje evaluacije otvorenosti Uprave. Modeli za evaluaciju koji se primenjuju na koncepte e-Uprava 1.0 i e- ...

Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has certainly had the most important role in promoting Sensor Web. The OGC Sensor Web Enablement working group has published a set of specifications named Sensor Web Enablement (SWE)(Simonis, 2008), which fully describe all key components that a Sensor Web based system should implement. The group is constantly working on ...

Local governments have a vast amount of data, but not all data is publicly available. Local government policies define the data set that is publicly available. This dataset can change over time, and make data publishing more complex. Municipal data catalogues should ease the process of publishing, discovering and tracking the usage of public government data. Data sets that are being published differ among municipalities. This makes the process of ...

The main focus of this paper will be set particularly on sensor data fusion. Our current focus is on designing and developing an intelligent data fusion component for a Sensor Web based architecture that will enable combining different environmental data into coherent information. For addressing the problem efficiently we will give an overview of present data fusion models and then incorporate the most appropriate model into existing Sensor Web based architecture -GinisSense for monitoring environment and collecting environmental data. In this way we will have an intelligent data fusion system. Furthermore we will explain in detail the fusion process in GinisSense architecture and give an example of its usage.
