Government 2.0: open and safe?
Abstract:
The new wave of collaborative, crowd-sourced government applications bring new opportunities and new challenges. Among the challenges, most important is how to ensure safe citizen participation, balancing ease of use and anonymity preservation with security and representativity, as described in the FP7 ICT workprogramme 2009-2010 (priority 7.3). This presentation will look and compare existing practice in government 2.0 applications in terms of privacy, identity, trust, security, reputation and differences with more traditional government applications.
