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) Send abstracts to yulia.tammisto(at)aalto.fi Authors will retain all rights to their works. For further questions and registration, do not hesitate to contact Yulia Tammisto (yulia.tammisto(at)aalto.fi).
