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.

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.

This minitrack is aimed at discussing theories, methodologies, experience reports, literature and case studies in the field of Big, Open, Linked Data and Interoperability Infrastructures in Government. 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.

Minitrack topics include, but are not limited to:
*      Open and Linked data methods and technologies leading to enhanced digital public services
*      Big data applications and approaches utilizing huge amounts of Public Sector information
*      Big data applications for governments and societies, leading to better decision making and tackling of societal challenges
*      Metadata and semantic approaches for public sector information organization
*      Interoperability and architectural standards, principles and frameworks for the public sector
*      Technical, semantic, organizational, managerial and legal/policy aspects of interoperability
*      System development, implementation and agility approaches for digital public services
*      System, user, data and process-based integration
*      Information and cloud infrastructures for opening data and services to the public
*      Reuse and data quality in digital public services
*      Semantic ontologies, web services and modeling for governmental infrastructures
*      Cloud computing, ICT-services, scalability, reliability, flexibility
*      Multi-sided platforms, interoperability, information sharing and business models
*      Software as service (SaaS), utility computing, shared services, cloud providers
*      Cross-organizational modeling and visualization ranging from the organizational to technical level
*      Infrastructure and enterprise architecture planning, alignment, strategies and governance
*      Organizational and/or policy perspectives on the dynamics of the infrastructure and interoperability process and barriers to interoperability
*      Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, orchestration and composition
*      Best practices, case studies and longitudinal studies
*      Theoretical contributions and contributions from developing countries
