The Socioeconomic Effects of Public Sector Information on Digital Networks: Toward a Better Understanding of Different Access and Reuse Policies

美国CODATA国家委员会将与经济合作与发展组织（OECD）合作组织为期两天的国际研讨会，以更好地了解评估在线公共部门信息（PSI）不同访问和重用政策的具体影响的方法，模型和技术。 在项目结束时，国家科学院将与经合组织合作发表一份摘要报告，其结果也将为暂定于2008年6月举行的经合组织部长级会议提供投入。 与会者将讨论在实施和执行既定的国家访问和再利用政策的变化; PSI和政府政策在管理这样的信息发挥的作用; PSI在线的经济和非经济影响的理解;和不同的访问和再利用政策的影响。 讲习班将讨论关于在互联网上传播的防扩散安全倡议的影响的经验数据以及对这种传播采取的不同政策办法。 讲习班将设法查明、了解和评价目前在这一领域使用的方法和基本标准，并为决策者和信息管理人员提供更坚实的框架，以评估不同的获取和使用政策的影响，讲习班将审议公共部门对公共安全倡议的投资和基于信息再利用的经济活动;不同类型的公共安全倡议的无形的、非经济的社会效益;以及教育、研究、善治和PSI的各种其他应用，以改善社会福利。讲习班将讨论的其他问题包括不同信息政策对信息社会和知识经济的成本和效益。通过了解目前评估方法的长处和短处及其基本标准，讲习班也许能够确定如何改进和应用这些工具，以帮助使政策合理化，并澄清互联网在传播防扩散战略倡议方面的特殊作用，从而提高防扩散战略倡议投资和管理的效率和效力，并改进其下游的经济和社会成果。

The U.S National Committee for CODATA will organize a two-day international workshop in collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to obtain an improved understanding of methods, models, and techniques to assess the specific effects of different access and reuse policies for online Public Sector Information (PSI). A summary report will be published by the National Academies in collaboration with the OECD at the conclusion of the project and the results will also provide input to the OECD Ministerial meeting that is tentatively scheduled for June 2008.The Workshop will consider different approaches and levels of access to and reuse of public sector information. Participants will discuss variability in implementation and enforcement of established national access and reuse policies; the role that PSI and government policies play in governing such information play; the understanding of economic and non-economic effects of PSI online; and the effects of different access and reuse policies. The Workshop will address empirical data regarding the effects of PSI disseminated on the internet and different policy approaches to this dissemination. The Workshop will seek to identify, understand, and evaluate current methods and underlying criteria that are used in this area and to provide more solid frameworks for policy makers and information managers to assess the effects of different access and use policies.The Workshop will consider public investment in PSI and economic activity based on the reuse of that information; the intangible, non-economic social benefits of different types of PSI; and educational, research, good governance, and various other applications for PSI to improve the welfare of society. Additional issues to be discussed at the Workshop include the costs and benefits of different information policies on the information society and the knowledge economy. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the current assessment methods and their underlying criteria, the Workshop may be able to identify ways to improve and apply such tools to help rationalize the policies and clarify the special role of the internet in disseminating PSI, thus leading to increased efficiency and effectiveness of PSI investments and management and improvement and of their downstream economic and social results.
