ALIS

ALIS Docuement Freedom Day in Tiznit, Maroc

27 March 2013 organized by ALIS

Journée de sensibilisation à l'importance des documents aux formats libres.

Am jährlichen Document Freedom Day werden weltweit Internetauftritte ausgezeichnet, die offene Standards, insbesondere maschinenlesbare Dokumente, anbieten. Leider wird Berlin wieder leer ausgehen. Dabei liegt der Nutzen offener Dokumente auf der Hand. Gut verwendet können offene Daten dazu beitragen, im Straßenverkehr Staus zu vermeiden oder Angebote beziehungsweise Störungen im ÖPNV schnell und umfassend zu kommunizieren. Erhöhte Lärm- oder Staubwerte können belegt werden, der Vergleich von Aktenteilen zur Aufklärung des BER-Debakels wird erleichtert. Es gibt enorm viele ausgezeichnete Gründe, Dokumente digital, frei und in offenen Formaten zu publizieren. Deshalb haben wir ein Video zum Document Freedom Day gemacht: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX8hjT35_Xc Leider zeigt der Berliner Senat seit dem Start des Open-Data-Portals wenig Engagement. Der wegweisenden Studie des Fraunhofer-Institutes folgte keine Umsetzungsstrategie. Die Wirtschaftsverwaltung taucht ab, die Innenverwaltung ist im Ausschuss regelmäßig nur bedingt auskunftsfähig. Das Landesportal wird nur unstrukturiert und in Einzelprojekten fortgeführt. Das reicht nicht aus. Der Berliner Senat ist gefordert, die digitalen Schätze zu heben und zu teilen - denn dieser Schatz gehört allen Berlinerinnen und Berlinern. Von der symbolischen Auszeichnung des Document Freedom Day, der obligatorischen Torte, ist Berlin daher leider zu Recht noch weit entfernt.

*Um apelo a uma instituição pública será apresentado*. Esperamos aumentar a consciência no Terceiro Sector entre outros actores da Sociedade Civil sobre a necessidade de adoptar Software Livre e Standards Abertos na administração pública.

Este assunto é importante para organizações sem fins lucrativos, que encontram problemas a adoptar Software Livre e Standards Abertos nas suas estrutiras internas, visto que a administração pública pede-lhes para comunicar com eles usando tecnologias proprietárias. Apesar da falta de conhecimento sobre o problema na sociedade civil, este problema tem fortes reprecussões no nosso dia-a-dia, juntamente com outros aspectos como a troca justa, reciclagem e turismo responsável.

He is also a leader of Europeana's technical work package on semantic interoperability and one of the main contributors to the Europeana Data Model (EDM).

He was also an international advisor for the ACLS Commission on Cyberinfrastructure for the Humanities and Social Sciences, contributing to the report Our Cultural Commonwealth. The overall focus of his work is an integrated view of the scholarly information lifecycle. He puts emphasis on interoperability and open methods of modeling the scholarly information continuum - both in technical terms and in an e-scholarship perspective.

He proposed the concept of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) while working with Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau at CERN in 1994, CSS being one of the fundamental web standards, with profound impact on typography, aesthetics, and accessibility on the web. In 2006, Wium Lie started campaigning for browsers to support downloadable web fonts using common font formats. As of 2009, all major browser vendors except Microsoft have implemented web fonts this way.
