Overview
and Theme
Opening
data archives for public use will fundamentally transform
societies.
We can
already observe a number of new services and business models
in
many
areas. The European Union sees the emergence of services
based on the
vast
public data resources as one of the key drivers of
innovation and growth.
Open
data related initiatives open up a rich field of research
that is still mostly
unexplored.
This
Open Data in Business research track held as a part of the
Open Knowledge Conference 2012 will showcase contemporary
research in this emerging field and address some of the
greatest challenges in the area.
The
day will bring together researchers interested in open data
in business and build an international research community
around Open Data. The Open Data in Business research track
will include keynotes, presentations, a panel and discussion
over the accepted abstracts.
For
the purposes of this Open Data in Business research track,
we call for 500 word abstracts
for
presentations about open data in a business context.
Submissions
are sought on (but not limited to) these topics:
- Open
data and open content business models
- Open
data applications
- Open
data in industry (for example, media, traffic)
- Open
source in open data applications
- Open
knowledge and culture
-Use
of linked open data
Deadline
for abstracts (500 words): 15 May 2012 (notification of
acceptance by 15 June 2012)
