Interdisciplinary Centre for Law and ICTWorkshop on open government data and privacy
Workshop on open government data and privacy
9 March 2011 – ICRI, K.U.Leuven
Part of the PrimeLife workshopseries
Open Government Data (OGD) has already proven to supply great potential for participation, innovation and democracy. At the same time, concerns about de-anonymising and linking public data to individuals need to be addressed. The workshopaims at bringing together experts in OGD and privacy to look for approaches avoiding potential dilemmas.
In the morning after a quick introduction of the problem areas based on some example scenarios, different approaches for addressing the problem will be discussed. Following an open format, afternoon sessions will be allocated based on the results of the morning discussion to go in more depth with those approaches that need more attention.
To keep the scope of the workshop focused, areas such as enterprise data and involvement as well as long term effects on the development of PETs are not going to be addressed. It is the intention of the organizers to find steps and ways forward to facilitating release of Government data, while maintaining privacy protection.
