<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Open data in government is a recent phenomenon in which public sector information is made available and can be used by everybody for what it seems an unlimited amount of purposes. As publicly available information
can often be generated and provided in huge amounts and through multiple sources, specific needs for processing, curation, linking, visualization and maintenance result in the need for big data and linked data approaches.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Data collection, processing and distribution is facilitated by infrastructures providing generic facilities supporting organizational collaboration, service provision, business process management. To cope with
the recent open and collaborative governance developments, applications and generic platforms are developed to enable interoperability on top of which others can utilize open data and develop comprehensive services, interoperability being the ability of diverse
systems and organizations to work together. Furthermore, cloud services are now changing the ways of providing and using ICT, based on virtualized resources meeting security, privacy and scalability requirements. Clouds provide the opportunity to share resources
and provide shared services over the Internet, so that administrations, enterprises and citizens can benefit from open data and shared services. All these developments are changing the way governments operate and collaborate with private sector enterprises
and the society and impact the technical, organizational, managerial and strategic level.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">This minitrack is aimed at discussing theories, methodologies, experience reports, literature and case studies in the field of
<b>Big, Open, Linked Data and Interoperability Infrastructures in Government</b>. We solicit for papers covering both technical and organizational aspects and combining theory and practice. Papers covering the topics below are strongly encouraged. We promote
a diversity of research methods to study the challenges of this multifaceted discipline focusing on various aspects of interoperability and also theoretical papers and papers from developing countries.
