Advance Interoperability in e-Government with Standardized Core Directories

Many new requirements for the public sector arise from the change of the society and the “Age of Knowledge”. Globalisation leads administrations to become more interoperable, irrespective of national borders. To meet these requirements, administrations and IT systems need to become more efficient. One of the main principles in software engineering is reusability. This can be applied on all levels. There is still a lot of potential at the content level. The idea of reusing content is not new but especially in federal structures where central solutions are nearly impossible this is a great challenge. The document describes an approach that allows information to be collected in a decentralised way and makes it available in an interdisciplinary manner and across regional borders. Core Directories will be designed and used as an infrastructural component to make them accessible for multiple applications. In order to share information, data interoperability standards are needed

Efficiency and timing performance of the MuPix7 high-voltage monolithic active pixel sensor

The MuPix7 is a prototype high voltage monolithic active pixel sensor with 103 times 80 um2 pixels thinned to 64 um and incorporating the complete read-out circuitry including a 1.25 Gbit/s differential data link. Using data taken at the DESY electron test beam, we demonstrate an efficiency of 99.3% and a time resolution of 14 ns. The efficiency and time resolution are studied with sub-pixel resolution and reproduced in simulations.Comment: 7 pages, 13 figures, submitted to Nucl.Instr.Meth.

Herausforderungen von großen frei zugänglichen Datenbeständen des öffentlichen Sektors - Big Open Public Data

Big Open Public Data ist die Kombination von drei grundlegenden datenzentrierten Konzepten zur Bewältigung immer mehr geforderter Offenheit und Vielfalt im öffentlichen Raum. Basis für die erfolgreiche Generierung von Mehrwerten durch die Bereitstellung und Nutzung der Daten ist ein klares Verständnis der zu bewältigenden Herausforderungen. In der Arbeit werden interdisziplinär verschiedene Konzepte aus wissenschaftlichen Fachrichtungen und der Praxis wie beispielsweise Informationsqualität, Wissensmodelle und Government 2.0 herangezogen. Aus der wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Betrachtung werden quantitative und qualitative Merkmale zusammengestellt. Kern sind individuelle bedarfsorientierte Angebote und der transparente Zugang zu Daten des öffentlichen Raumes. Definierte Herausforderungen sind in Anwendung und Bereitstellung sowie in Nachvollziehbarkeit, Verwendbarkeit, Verwertbarkeit und Nachhaltigkeit eingeteilt. Aufbauend werden Mehrwerte, potentielle Geschäftsoptionen und die Veränderungen der Rollen von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft sowie von Information und Innovation diskutiert. Also: Stärkt Open Data die gesellschaftliche Kontrolle, optimiert Big Data die Wertschöpfung und fokussiert Public Data stärker das öffentliche Interesse
