<p style="margin-top:.1pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Public sector organisations increasingly develop and use big and open data solutions and platforms for data exchange, including sensor data and vast amounts of data from a plentitude of sources. These
developments are used to open up government, engage with stakeholders, create value from these huge amounts of data, improve transparency, and inform decision and policymaking. It even allows for the development of social innovations and commercial services
by making ‘smart’ combinations of big and/or open data. This leads to a shift in the positions of government and other parties, and has brought forward a host of applications to deal with societal issues. It also brings social and technical challenges and
questions related to information quality, implementation considerations, policy implications, and changing relationships between stakeholders, integrity, amongst many others.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-top:.1pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The <i>Open Government & Open and Big Data Track
</i>focuses on practices and methods of transparency, accountability, open government data, public big data sharing and use, data for improving public value and data analytics. The explosive growth in data, the opening of data, large-scale data exchange platforms,
data provided by the Internet of Things and increasing computational power creates new opportunities for innovating government. These developments have resulted in a repertoire of instruments and tools to gather, process, analyse, visualize and make use of
the huge amount of data. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
