Book excerpt: Modern information and communication technologies, together with a cultural upheaval within the research community, have profoundly changed research in nearly every aspect. Ranging from sharing and discussing ideas in social networks for scientists to new collaborative environments and novel publication formats, knowledge creation and dissemination as we know it is experiencing a vigorous shift towards increased transparency, collaboration and accessibility. Many assume that research workflows will change more in the next 20 years than they have in the last 200. This book provides researchers, decision makers, and other scientific stakeholders with a snapshot of the basics, the tools, and the underlying visions that drive the current scientific (r)evolution, often called ‘Open Science.’

Download or read book Common European Legal Thinking written by Hermann-Josef Blanke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common European Legal Thinking emanates from the existence of a shared European legal culture as especially reflected in the existence of a common European constitutional law. It denotes a body of individual constitutional principles – written and unwritten – that represent the common heritage of the constitutions of the Member States. Taking into account the two major European organisations, the Council of Europe and especially the European Union, the essays of this Festschrift discuss a range of constitutional principles, including the rule of law, democracy, and the exercise of political power in a multilevel system which recognises fundamental rights as directly applicable and supreme law. Other essays examine the value of pluralism, the commitment of private organisations to uphold public values, principles or rules, and the objectives and methods of a transnational science of administrative law. These articles highlight the fact that the Ius Publicum Europaeum Commune is “politically” in the making, which can often be seen in the shape of general legal principles. The publication recognises the role of Albrecht Weber as a forerunner of Common European Legal Thinking.

Download or read book From Regulation to Adoption written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data sharing and re-use have been at the crux of European policy for more than two decades now. The European data market has been estimated in EUR 59.5 billion in 2016 and overall value growth from EUR 247 billion in 2013 to almost EUR 300 billion in 2016. As a result, it has been the protagonist of different European policy activities trying to deliver the promises of such a growing and increasingly valuable market where studies have predicted a compound annual growth rate of 15.7% since 2016. A heterogeneous package of European policy measures that seek to generate a European data market and facilitate data flows within and across sectors in Europe have been pursued (European Commission, 2020). These measures can be divided into open data and data sharing measures; that is provisions for opening up data indiscriminately and thus promoting minimum restrictions and costs to access to data (open data); or provisions for ensuring access to specific entities to data (data sharing). As opposed to open data, data sharing is defined by the provision of restricted data to restricted entities (organisations or individuals). For both cases, regulatory and non-regulatory measures have been adopted, with different rates of success. The overall results of such policy initiatives are uneven, and the implementation has proven challenging. Ultimately, what emerges from the uneven compliance and the different efficacy of the policy measures is that regulation is not enough to induce data opening and sharing. To explore the factors behind governmental compliance towards data sharing and open data regulation, the present study implements a comparative analysis of: 1. The different commitment to open data at the sub-national level (i.e. local government) where similar municipalities in their region of Lombardia (Italy) diverge in their actions towards open data; and 2. The different commitment towards data sharing by two comparable public agencies in the Oil and Gas industry in two different countries: The Netherlands and Norway. The results show that for the open data domain, economic incentives, coordination with business suppliers and policy leadership accompanied with technical guidance explained the decision of Italian municipalities in Lombardia - and in particular for the smallest ones in terms of population - to open up their data. Besides such regional programme support, which was instrumental, the case of Pavia also powerfully shows the virtuous cycle between civil servant enthusiasm for publishing data, the impact on the quality of data, services being developed, and thus the effect on data re-use.

Download or read book The Digital Transformation of Labor written by Anthony Larsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of studies, the overarching aim of this book is to investigate if and how the digitalization/digital transformation process causes (or may cause) the autonomy of various labor functions, and its impact in creating (or stymieing) various job opportunities on the labor market. This book also seeks to illuminate what actors/groups are mostly benefited by the digitalization/digital transformation and which actors/groups that are put at risk by it. This book takes its point of departure from a 2016 OECD report that contends that the impact digitalization has on the future of labor is ambiguous, as on the one hand it is suggested that technological change is labor-saving, but on the other hand, it is suggested that digital technologies have not created new jobs on a scale that it replaces old jobs. Another 2018 OECD report indicated that digitalization and automation as such does not pose a real risk of destroying any significant number of jobs for the foreseeable future, although tasks would by and large change significantly. This would affects welfare, as most of its revenue stems from taxation, and particularly so from the taxation on labor (directly or indirectly). For this reason, this book will set out to explore how the future technological and societal advancements impact labor conditions. The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching and controversial take on how various aspects of the labor market can be (and are) affected the ongoing digitalization trend in a way that is not covered by extant literature. As such, this book intends to cater to a wider readership, from a general audience and students, to specialized professionals and academics wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the possible future developments of the labor market in light of an accelerating digitalization/digital transformation of society at large.
Download or read book New Trends and Challenges in Open Data written by Vijayalakshmi Kakulapati and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data is often open to all users and sharers. Governments provide data on publicly available websites and this data may pertain to specific regions or be aggregate data on national or international issues. Data that is in the public domain but not in a machine-readable format is considered public data and may only be accessible via a right-of-access request. Maintaining accuracy and management is a major obstacle when it comes to data systems and solutions. Data governance describes the rules, procedures, and responsibilities that outline the data's acquisition, storage, retrieval and use. Data security and privacy refer to safeguards put in place to protect information from being seen, copied, distributed, altered, or destroyed without permission. Data integration and interoperability involve combining and exchanging data from many sources, systems, and formats, as well as facilitating data sharing and collaboration across various platforms, apps, and organizations. Defining data standards, implementing data quality checks, assigning data ownership and responsibility, and monitoring data performance and utilization are all important steps toward resolving the data quality problem. This book contains two sections. “Trends and Challenges of Open Data” and “Case Studies”. Each section contains three chapters.
Download or read book Response to the Public Consultation on Building a European Data Economy written by Inge Graef and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this submission, we would like to respond, in our personal capacity as researchers, to two issues raised by the European Commission's public consultation on 'Building a European Data Economy', namely: the development of a possible future EU framework for data access (section 1), and the issue of portability in the context of non-personal data (section 2).Regarding both issues, our submission aims to convey two main messages: • A cautious, evidence-based approach should be taken in devising any possible future legislative or non-legislative measures for the European data economy; and • Since a number of legal fields and policy initiatives overlap in this context, there is a strong need to ensure consistency of policies and coherence of law on the European as well as national level.
Download or read book National Open Access and Preservation Policies in Europe written by Comissió Europea. European Research Area and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report gives an overview of how open access is developing in the European Research Area. It is based on a survey conducted via the European Research Area Committee. It shows that open access is backed by a growing number of universities, research centres and funding agencies across Europe, and it highlights the dynamic growth of open access. It also underlines, however, that national initiatives and practices are still fragmented, thus preventing the European Union from realising its full research and innovation potential" -- Foreword.
Download or read book Intellectual Property Rights written by Nikolaus Thumm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of the PhD project I started four years ago at Europa-Kolleg Hamburg. I had the great opportunity to work on it for one year at the European University Institute in Florence and to finalise the oeuvre during my stay with the European Commission's Institute for Prospective Technological Studies in Seville. The subject matter of the book is intellectual property rights, patents in particular, and their process of harmonisation in Europe. At the beginning of the work, the intention was not to focus immediately on one narrow field in the huge realm of intellectual property rights but rather to open my mind in order to capture a broad variety of new ideas and concepts in the book. The work at three different institutes in three different European countries over the period of four years naturally exposed the work to diverging ideas and the exchange of views with many people. This is one reason for the wide spread of topics ordered around the given leitmotif, such as epistemological foundations, political background information,. the protection of biotechnological inventions and the building up process of intellectual property right systems in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In chapter two I take up Polanyi's differentiation of codifiable and tacit knowledge. Applying these concepts to my own work I realise that this book is only the visible and codified part of knowledge I was able to capture.
Download or read book European Data Spaces written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensuring fair and trustworthy data sharing is at the core of the European Commission's policy agenda for the period 2019-2024 under the priority "A Europe fit for the digital age". Published in 2020, the European strategy for data set the ambitious vision to establish common European data spaces in all strategic societal sectors and domains of public interest. Data spaces are envisioned as sovereign, trustworthy and interoperable data sharing environments where data can flow within and across sectors, in full respect of European ambitions, rules and values. To support the establishment of data spaces while meeting the Digital Decade objectives for Europe's digital transformation by 2030, several cross-sectoral legislative instruments have been adopted or proposed following the publication of the European strategy for data. These include: the Data Governance Act, introducing a set of horizontal measures to boost trustworthy data sharing in the EU; the Data Act, aiming to make more business data available for reuse through the definition of rules on who can access and use what data and for which purposes; the Implementing Act on High Value Datasets, implementing the Open Data Directive by specifying a list of datasets that public sector bodies shall make available for free and under open access licenses, as well as making them accessible in machine-readable formats via application programming interfaces (APIs); and the Digital Markets Act, which sets out some measures on data access and portability to regulate the "gatekeeper power" of digital companies prone to unfair business practices.
