TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the opening and the free usage of stored public sector data, supplied by state, and discuss the preparation and free access to existing data permit varied approaches to reuse of data, discussed in the article.
Abstract: This article explores the opening and the free usage of stored public sector data, supplied by state. In the age of Open Government and Open Data it’s not enough just to put data online. It should be rather weighed out whether, how and which supplied public sector data can be published. Open Data are defined as stored data which could be made accessible in a public interest without any restrictions for usage and distribution. These Open Data can possibly be statistics, geo data, maps, plans, environmental data and weather data in addition to materials of the parliaments, ministries and authorities. The preparation and the free access to existing data permit varied approaches to the reuse of data, discussed in the article. In addition, impulses can be given for Open Government – the opening of state and administration, to more transparency, participation and collaboration as well as to innovation and business development. The Open Data movement tries to get to the bottom of current publication processes in the public sector which could be formed even more friendly to citizens and enterprises.

TL;DR: Open government collaboration (OGC) as mentioned in this paper enables governments to include citizens in the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policy-making and to co-operate with other administrational units.
Abstract: This chapter will introduce the concept of open government collaboration (OGC), based on a discussion about the new possibilities for collaboration that arise from the recent developments of Web 2.0 technologies. OGC enables governments to include citizens in the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policy-making and to co-operate with other administrational units. There are ten major areas of application for open collaboration in government, e.g. crowdfunding or the collaborative fulfilment of public functions. In order to arise to its full potential, OGC needs a comprehensive implementation strategy based on a powerful vision, which establishes guidelines and structures, discusses potential fears and secures the necessary funding. When undertaken wholeheartedly, OGC can lead to significant improvements of administrative efficiency, and a more democratic and resilient political system with high problem-solving capabilities, which is characterised by a well-balanced and well-functioning relationship between citizens and their government.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the digitalisierung in a verwaltte Verwaltung, e.g., in a Smart Government, which is defined as "the state of the art in the field of information technology".
Abstract: Der Begriff „Digitalisierung“ umfasst ein breites Spektrum von technologischen, betriebs- und volkswirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen seit Beginn der Einfuhrung integrierter Schaltkreise in massentaugliche Computer und der Nutzung des Internets. Der technische Kern ist die Entwicklung von Web-3.0- und Web-4.0-Anwendungen. Diese Trends der Verwaltungsinformatik sind vollig analog zu denen in der Privatwirtschaft. Der Nutzen fur die Kernverwaltung im Offentlichen Bereich besteht im Innovationspotenzial fur Offentliche Services, die Verwaltungsablaufe und deren Steuerung. Disruptiv sind die Entwicklungen nicht, da das „Geschaftsmodell“ der Verwaltung sich zwar erheblich andern und verbessern wird, aber schon aus rechtlichen Grunden das Monopol der Kernverwaltung auf hoheitliche Handlungen erhalten bleibt. Sachlich eroffnet die Digitalisierung den Weg in eine vernetzte Verwaltung, die als Smart Government den Vorteil der Vernetzung durch eine Verringerung der Burokratielasten an Burger und Unternehmen weitergibt und mit Open Government die Gesellschaft auch an den Informationsschatzen der Verwaltung teilhaben lasst. Die koordinierte Steuerung der Offentlichen IT-Dienstleister erfolgt uber die als gleichberechtigte Mitglieder im IT-Planungsrat vertretenen Lander und den Bund. Treibende Kraft hinter den Institutionen sind die CIOs, deren Rolle sich von einer nur auf den IT-Bereich bezogenen Aufgabe immer weiter in Richtung eines Netzwerkmanagements erweitert.

TL;DR: In this article, a Forschungsagenda für Smart Government is presented, in which staatliche Akteure dabei unterstützen kann, den Herausforderungen zu erkennen und dessen Potenzial zur Erfüllung öffentlicher Aufgaben.
Abstract: Ausgehend von den Beiträgen von Hill (2016) und Schuppan/Köhl (2016) zur Digitalisierung und Disruption im öffentlichen Sektor ist festzuhalten, dass die technische Entwicklung zwar oft evolutionär verläuft, die Wirkungen aber disruptiv sein können. Sorge bereitet, dass „Verwaltung 4.0“ als Begriff bereits zu verwässert ist und daher der Eindruck entstehen kann, es handele sich nur um die nächste Version von E-Government. Tatsächlich aber verbirgt sich dahinter ein echter technologischer Fortschritt im Internet der Dinge und Dienste, der sich womöglich durch Smart Government besser beschreiben lässt. Anhand der Häfler Definition von Smart Government wird aufgezeigt, wie Ansätze in der Tradition von Industrie 4.0 auf Staat und Verwaltung zu übertragen sind und welche Herausforderungen und Fragestellungen damit verbunden sein werden. Abschließend wird eine Forschungsagenda für Smart Government entwickelt, die staatliche Akteure dabei unterstützen kann, den Herausforderungen zu erkennen und dessen Potenzial zur Erfüllung öffentlicher Aufgaben zu nutzen.

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of essential elements of open data ecosystems for enabling easy publication and use ofopen data.
Abstract: Open data ecosystems are expected to bring many advantages, such as stimulating citizen participation and innovation. However, scant attention has been given to what constitutes an open data ecosystem. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of essential elements of open data ecosystems for enabling easy publication and use of open data. To achieve this objective, the literature has been reviewed and a scenario about the publication and use of open data has been analyzed. It was found that various applications, tools and portals are available which together can form an ecosystem. The best functionalities of this ecosystem can be selected and utilized by open data providers and users. To create an open data ecosystem at least four key elements should be captured, namely, 1) releasing and publishing open data on the internet, 2) searching, finding, evaluating and viewing data and their related licenses, 3) cleansing, analyzing, enriching, combining, linking and visualizing data and 4) interpreting and discussing data and providing feedback to the data provider and other stakeholders. Furthermore, to integrate the ecosystem elements and to let them act as an integrated whole, there should be three additional elements 5) user pathways showing directions for how open data can be used, 6) a quality management system and 7) different types of metadata to be able to connect the elements.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors screen the current open government literature to deduce an integrative definition of open government, and then analyze the empirical and conceptual literature of the open government concept to derive an open government framework.
Abstract: The term “open government” is frequently used in practice and science. Since President Obama’s Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies in March 2009, open government has attracted an enormous amount of public attention. It is applied by authors from diverse areas, leading to a very heterogeneous comprehension of the concept. Against this background, this article screens the current open government literature to deduce an integrative definition of open government. Furthermore, this article analyzes the empirical and conceptual literature of open government to deduce an open government framework. In general, this article provides a clear understanding of the open government concept.

TL;DR: Using a global panel of countries, it is found that after the effect of human capital dynamics is controlled for, no evidence exists that changes in age structure affect labor productivity and that improvements in educational attainment are the key to explaining productivity and income growth.
Abstract: The effect of changes in age structure on economic growth has been widely studied in the demography and population economics literature. The beneficial effect of changes in age structure after a decrease in fertility has become known as the "demographic dividend." In this article, we reassess the empirical evidence on the associations among economic growth, changes in age structure, labor force participation, and educational attainment. Using a global panel of countries, we find that after the effect of human capital dynamics is controlled for, no evidence exists that changes in age structure affect labor productivity. Our results imply that improvements in educational attainment are the key to explaining productivity and income growth and that a substantial portion of the demographic dividend is an education dividend.
