>> As part of the FP7-funded Crossover Project [1], W3C and the European Commission are running a workshop in June, just ahead of the Digital Agenda Summit, to ask a simple question: what is all the 'new' government open data being used for?
>> To be held in the prestigious Berlaymont building, headquarters of the European Commission, the workshop will focus solely on uses of open data, not its publication. In particular, the workshop will highlight uses of data for tools that aid policy modelling, for citizen empowerment and in data journalism.

Using Open Data: policy modeling, citizen empowerment, data journalism
19 - 20 June 2012, European Commission Headquarters, Brussels
http://www.w3.org/2012/06/pmod/How to Participate
To ensure productive discussions, the workshop is limited to 80 attendees. Participation is open to non-W3C members. Each organization can provide at most two attendees.
Position papers are required in order to participate in this workshop. Each organization or individual wishing to participate must submit a position paper explaining their interest in the workshop no later than Saturday 19th May. The intention is to make sure that participants have an active interest in the area, and that the workshop will benefit from their presence.
We are using the Easy Chair system for paper submissions which requires all papers to be in PDF format. Alternatively you may submit a PDF that simply includes a link to a valid XHTML/HTML document (please use the W3C validator). Papers should be 1 to 5 pages in length and submitted here.
All position papers will be made available from this Web site . The workshop Web site is public, so position papers and slides must be suitable for public dissemination. Speaker slides will also be available on the Web site after the workshop. Printed proceedings will not be provided.
To attend, you must register by filling out the registration form. The URI for the registration form will be sent to you after your position paper is accepted.
Demos are invited. At various times throughout the event, participants are welcome to demonstrate their (relevant) applications. This will be done in an informal way. Participants will have a chance to see all the demos on offer.
Note: To help the organizers plan the workshop: If you wish to participate, please send email as soon as possible to Phil Archer stating:
that somebody from your organization plans to submit a position paper;
whether you want to send one or two participants;
whether or not you wish to make a presentation;
whether or not you wish to offer a demo.
