Preparatory Action
Partners
Broad objectives
• ‘Horizontal’ approach
• Build on Green Paper – further preparatory, identification and definition work
• Contribute to baseline for e-Content
programme of work
• Involve ten CEE associate states on equal footing with EU member states
• Prepare ground for the creation of a European PSI network of excellence (EPSINet)
Specific Objectives
• Definition - clarity • Typology - useful, usable • Access – availability, accessibility, gaps • Good practice - access and exploitation –
define, identify examples • Standards - document, define, describe
assess use of applicable standards (e.g. metadata and formats)
• Business models - define and differentiate • Future research agenda -
recommendations• The European PSI Network (EPSI) – establish framework for knowledge exchange

Approach to standards (1)
• Much standards work (especially Metadata) relevant to PSI is already underway e.g.
• IDA MIREG • IST SCHEMAS• USA
• PSINet should not duplicate – co-ordinate work • Holistic/lifecycle approach to standards
• creation• cataloging/identification (resource description)• storage/ preservation• presentation/publishing/re-use/• access (resource discovery/search)
Approach to standards (2)
• Focus on wide interoperability issues.• Plain language description for decision makers.• Remaining work
• draft Standards Map circulated on limited basis
• validate with standards bodies (CEN, ISO, NISO, W3C, implementation groups)
• small, expert workshop with USA participation
• revise Standards Map
Preliminary conclusions from Brussels workshop – (1) public/ private partnerships• Transparency - pricing..licencing• Access - what works best for consumers• Government income - impact on public sector
investment• Minimum public sector needs to do to ’raw
information’ - to enable exploitation? Cost? • Private sector business models• e-monopolies/competition• Impact of policies on ’basic information’, FOI etc
on ’traditional’ businesses• New businesses?
Preliminary Conclusions from Brussels Workshop (2) - Other
• Definition of PSI• Standards, metadata, identifiers,
interoperability• Management of single integrated channels
• standards• portal wars and organisational egos
• Public sector ’mandates’• Local level (versus central level) - information
management (standards, tools, skills, vision)
Regional workshops
• Programme• Rome 22 October• Denmark 29 October• Romania 9 November• Berlin 14 November• Brussels 29 November
• Participants• Country Co-ordinators • expert speakers • public/private sector stakeholders• other projects• etc
Regional workshops: focus
• Refine WP 1 report on policy/innovation/good practice
• ‘Richer picture’ of national and regional cultural, political and infrastructural factors
• political initiatives • regulatory activities • infrastructural solutions • operative and organisational assets
• Evaluation (of PSI – build on-Europe Action Plan indicators for public services?)

Main gains from PSINet (1)
• Human network - country co-ordinators plus support groups in 27 countries of the EU and CEE, many in influential positions
• Stakeholder database - consisting of public administration information providers, user representatives, commercial publishers and aggregators.
• A definition and typology of PSI
Main gains from PSINet (2)
• Consolidated web access to policies, legislation, regulatory regimes and innovations across all 27 countries
• Deeper understanding of the issues affecting business models, regulatory and policy issues
• Plain-language map of standards covering the whole lifecycle of information
• Stronger understanding of what has been achieved in the USA and how Europe can benefit from this experience - contact.
Emerging priorities for further work – 1 - Business and investment models
• Empirical economic research – compare ‘open’ models compared with public sector commercialisation models
• Identify critical success factors and promote
models for private sector survival and success, stimulate confidence
• Establish and promote workable groundrules for
public sector processing of raw data + fiscal models for cost assumption.
Emerging priorities for further work –
2- Policy and legislation
• Assess and describe regulatory environments in European states
• Encourage emulation of beneficial regulatory frameworks e.g. involving • Freedom of Information• non-assertion of government copyright• ‘dissemination costs’• affirmative rights of public access
• Establish good practice in clear but dynamic mandating of public sector agency activities.
Emerging priorities for further work –3- Information management
• Knowledge sharing – encourage innovation and emulation of successful developments
• Whole lifecycle• Back office, workflow, content management• Architectures and search technologies• Access channels - Web portals, also Digital TV,
mobile communications, kiosks etc • Closely linked to Area 4 (Standards)
Emerging priorities for further work –4- Standards
• Repackage valuable existing work for PSI• Wide interoperability – encourage consensus
on whole lifecycle, adoption by public and private sector, cross-domain
• Link appropriate developments in standards areas e.g.• metadata• IPR/rights expression• multilingual applications• unique identification and controlled vocabularies
• Move towards Semantic Web, promoting delivery of Web Services, UDDI etc
USA
• Global market for European PSI content
• Global interoperability issues
• Learning from Open Model
• Scope for shared research –e.g. economic models
EPSINet?
• Economic research• Systematic policy and legislation
access• Knowledge-sharing, alerting,
advisory service • Access to training resources
