4 Open Government Ontology Open Government Ontology proposed in this paper is an extensive domain Ontology aimed at modelling and integrating a wide range of Open Government services and information. Semantic model of the Open Government opens possibilities for the integration with other semantic and information models, and enables semantic reasoning and resource discovery [20]. Following the demands of Open Government paradigm the ontology should enable transparency, participation and collaboration (Fig. 1). And main components of the Open government are Open Architecture Component, Open Data Component and Open Standards Component. Organizational structure of the Open government consists of the internal government organizations, associated …show more content…

Agents are the entities that are providing, using and enhancing the data. Agents can be Data providers and Data consumers. 2. Data is the entity that represents Data source and Data storage in different formats and different level of business maturity. 3. Services are the entities that are transforming and integrating data and they are Integration services, Interactive services, Analytics, Delivery channels and Access points. 4. Influencers are Governance and Enterprise Architecture. 5. Research Information Systems There are two different kinds of systems dealing with research-related information: Social networking tools for researchers and institutional and national research information systems also referred to as Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) [30]. Also there are two different kinds of Open Data, one is Open Government Data (OGD) and another is data generated from scientific and research projects funded through governments grants. Connecting this two different kind of Open Data is possible by using rich metadata i.e by using CERIF (Common European research Information Format). CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) is a model format to manage Research Information. CERIF was developed with the support of the EC (European Commission) in two major phases: 1987-1990 and 1997-1999. It is a standard; technically it is an EU (European Union) Recommendation to member states [29]. The CERIF Full Data Model (FDM) specification document provides

“Black Code: Surveillance, Privacy, and the Dark Side of the Internet,” written by Ronald J. Deibert, outlines different issues and benefits that have arised due to the growing use of the internet. Deibert begins his essay providing information about the internet such as the rapid growth of smartphones, how the internet has taken over most of societies lives, and key differences between previous technological innovations compared to the internet. He continues his essay by discussing the U.S.A. Patriot Act and how this law should be retracted based on the fact that various companies, like Google, can give the government our personal searches if they ask. Then, he talks about various types of cyber crimes and how we need stronger regulations to control the internet so these crimes would not be possible. Deibert concludes his essay explaining how the internet has provided many benefits in today’s nation, but the internet needs stricter regulations for our own protection.
"The 21st century is needless to say, the era of digitalization, as social media controls every aspect of human life. Technology has rendered paper and pencil useless as it has shifted the face of the earth to network and communicate faster than ever. Countless apps, websites, and softwares exist to satiate the human desire for convenience and efficiency, all while serving to entertain our complex mindsets. Social media and its platform offer numerous ways for users to speak their minds through comments and ways to express themselves through pictures. The 1st Amendment in the Constitution “prohibits the peoples’ representatives in Congress from abridging these rights” (“The Bill of Rights”).

Many people in the company need access to data to help them do their job better. The main questions revolve around who needs what data, and who chooses what data gets to be shared. Looking at all the pieces, as well as the IT and information assets, the governance of the data belongs to a data owner (Khatri & Brown, 2010). The main questions to be answered must include who is the data owner? Who is responsible for data quality?

Clay Shirky, the author of “Does the internet make you smarter?” wrote about how ignorance has poisoned the internet with incorrect information. Not only does technology has its flaws, but so do books and novels dating back to the Protestant Reformation. Even though many people are against the internet Shirky reassures that if used correctly and appropriately, then it can become a very useful tool that can “tap our cognitive surplus”. The increased collaboration of technology is important to society for the reason that the internet is full of valuable knowledge that can be claimed very quickly and easily. Increased collaboration is absolutely a benefit.

"  In our World, threats to our Country are common and are becoming frequent. Issues like bullying, extremism, terrorism, and even the illegal production and distribution of drugs threaten all parts of the world more than ever. Not to mention, our increasing dependence on technology for business transactions, work, school, and storage of information has opened up a medium to effectuate these actions. The use of the internet no doubt is beneficial but like anything else, it can, and has been put to ill use. Controversy has been stirred up concerning the monitoring of internet content by the government.
Web 2.0 has revolutionized the panorama of the information society: users have become information creators and the new web platforms have become relationship venues where new knowledge and ideas emerge. Is this participation really democratic? Or is this a democracy paradox? Where everyone can interact but the decision making places are all outside the net? Does the participation on the web rather helps the citizens or the Governments and Companies?
Big Data refers to the massive amounts of structured and unstructured data that is collected over time from various internal as well as external sources. Enterprises are facing challenges in integrating these new and different types of data and also turning this data into meaningful information. The data is growing at a tremendous rate due to increase in connectedness of machines and people. Analyzing this data to extract sensible and meaningful insights is a big challenging task; integrating and optimizing this data, storing, organizing and analyzing is a challenge. The Big Data must be captured, stored, organized and analyzed to influence the decision making in any enterprise or business
Multiple countries throughout the world have internet access at their fingertips and are able to find the answer to their questions instantly. “As of June 2017, 51% of the world’s population has internet access. In 2015, the International Telecommunication Union estimated about 3.2 billion people, or almost half of the world’s population, would be online by the end of the year” (Gordon). Billions of people use the Internet each and every day to research topics, check their social media, and communicate. The nation as a whole has become extremely dependent on technology to do their work and survive through the day.
In order to compare and contrast varying types of government within two or more countries, one must have a clear definition of Government and know the purposes it serves. Therefore, I did some research and I have established that Government is a group that exercises dominant power over a nation, state, society or other body of people. Governments are commonly responsible for constructing and implementing laws, handling money, and defending the general population from external threats, and may have other obligations or privileges. All over the world, there are many different types of government within countries. Each kind has its advantages as well as disadvantages regarding the general well-being of its peoples and economy.
A computer-based information system (CBIS) is an information system that uses computer technology to perform different functions. For example, the google uses internet to accomplish its task, to reach its customers. Computer Based Information System is a field of studying computers and algorithmic processes including their applications. Such a system can include personal computer and software. It aims to support operations, management, and decision making.
