Government 2.0 -Theory and Practice
Professor Beth Noveck, NYLS and
Professor Brian Fitzgerald, QUT/CCi
ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and
Innovation (CCi) and the Queensland University of Technology
Faculty of Law invite you to
The potential for web based technologies to reshape the role and
practice of
government is a question of great interest worldwide. In
Australia inquiries into
Government 2.0 have sought to understand and propose how the
functionality of
Web 2.0 might be used by government in their everyday affairs of
making decisions,
servicing the community and developing policy. In the USA, as
has happened in many
other countries, the Obama Administration has set in place
strategies to investigate
and implement the possibilities of this new landscape of blogs,
wikis, social networks
and mass collaboration.
Professor Noveck has been at the forefront of this work in the
USA and internationally.Her book Wiki Governmentprovides conceptual
depth to the ideas while her leading
role in the Peer to Patent Project and most recently The Open
Government Initiative
(within the US government) have established her as an expert
practitioner in the area.
Professor Fitzgerald, a member of the Federal Governments Gov
2.0 Taskforce in
2009, and his research team at QUT have lead international
thinking on new models
for licensing of public sector information since their discovery
in 2004 that Creative
Commons licences could be applied to public sector information.
His two volumeedited collection on Access to Public Sector
Information: Law Technology and Policy,
http://eprints.qut.edu.au/34085 is a key resource in this
area.
In this talk Professors Noveck and Fitzgerald will speak about
their involvement
in Government 2.0 initiatives in the USA and Australia over the
last two years
reflecting on what this means for the operation of government
and more broadly the
general public. They will consider both at a conceptual and
practical level arguments
for collaborative government as a strategy for creating a more
effective and
democratic system.
