1. Open Data and Transparency: a Paradigm Shift LAPSI / EVPSI Conference Torino 09.07.2012 Benedetto Ponti

2. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 2 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...

3. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 3 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)

4. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 4 transparency outcomes accountability fairness efficiency... less corruption (empty)

5. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 5 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

6. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 6 Open Data ('s transparency) outcomes accountability fairness efficiency participation less corruption empower the empowered misuse / falsification more inequalities fragmentation less social trust

7. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 7 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

8. LAPSI Torino 2012 benedetto.ponti@unipg.itbenedetto.ponti@unipg.it 8 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
