Workshop: FOI & Open Data Communities
Limited Capacity seats available

The Freedom of Information (FOI) and Open Government Data (OGD) communities have had different origins as well as different goals and motivations. The number of FOI laws has currently amounted to more than 100 and OGD has become a key feature for government officials, practitioners and advocates in just 10 years.

Even though these two approaches to government data and information are complementary, these two groups are not closely collaborating with each other, as one could imagine. Differences in approaches, languages, skills seem to build barriers for their interaction. However, those differences are the key elements that make this collaboration necessary.

This workshop aims to continue the conversation between global civil society actors working on both agendas. A list of renowned OGD and FOI experts from around the world will be joining the conversation:

Américas: Alianza Regional por la Libre Expresión e Información (FOI), ILDA & Smart Citizen Foundation (Open Data)

Europa: Access Info Europe (FOI), Open Knowledge (Open Data)

Africa: AFIC (FOI), Web Foundation (Open Data)

Asia: TI Indonesia (FOI), Jakarta Open Data Lab/Web Foundation (Open Data)

 

----------------

Las comunidades de Acceso a la Información Pública y de Datos Abiertos han tenido diferentes orígenes, así como diferentes objetivos y motivaciones. En los últimos años, las leyes de acceso a la información han superado 100 a nivel mundial, y en menos de 10 años iniciativas de datos abiertos se han convertido en una tendencia para los gobiernos y activistas de todo el mundo.

A pesar de que estos dos agendas son complementarias, los actores trabajando en cada una de ellas no se encuentran colaborando tan estrechamente, como se esperaría. Las diferencias en términos de enfoques, lenguaje y habilidades, entre otras, se interponen en dicha interacción. Sin embargo, esas diferencias son los elementos que hacen que dicha colaboración sea necesaria.

Este taller pretende continuar la conversación sobre esta convergencia con actores clave de sociedad civil a nivel global. Para ello, se contará con la participación de expertos internacionales en el área de Datos Abiertos, como así también de Acceso a la Información, de todos los continentes:

Américas
: Alianza Regional por la Libre Expresión e Información (AIP), ILDA & Fundación Ciudadano Inteligente (Datos Abiertos)

Europa: Access Info Europe (AIP), Open Knowledge (Datos Abiertos)

Africa: AFIC (AIP), Web Foundation (Datos Abiertos)

Asia: TI Indonesia (AIP), Jakarta Open Data Lab/ Web Foundation (Datos Abiertos)
