Katie Fleeman“Sensitive open data becomes capital not through any intrinsic property but through legal frameworks that code it as an exploitable asset. The question is who chose this coding, and for whose benefit?”

Ainur ElmgrenNew book! Spotlight on a Region: Knowledge on the Nordics is a diverse collection of articles about society, history and culture in the Nordic countries. The articles were originally published on the research dissemination platform nordics.info between 2019 and 2025.
The book is written for a general audience, and includes research based overviews of topics such as humanitarianism, Sámi literature, colonialism, childcare provision, crime fiction and populism – as well as more detailed articles on specific subjects or events, like the dancing ban in Finland during the Second World War, food delivery workers in twenty-first century Denmark or the historical development of the Öresund bridge.
My contribution is a condensed history of #opengovernment in the Nordic countries. In the times of AI, it seems hopelessly outdated. What will happen to open government in the near future? Will there be any transparency left in Nordic democracies if the illusion of economic efficiency triumphs over the citizen's right to be informed?

JoshuaRedIA como auditora ciudadana: ¿Estamos preparados para ver dónde se pierde realmente el dinero público?
Llevamos semanas discutiendo si la IA curará el cáncer o escribirá mejores mails. Pero hay una función de esta tecnología que los poderes establecidos evitan mencionar: su capacidad para auditar el poder.
Tenemos miles de millones de documentos públicos —licitaciones, presupuestos, contratos, facturas— enterrados en PDFs imposibles. Un humano tardaría décadas en detectar una trama de corrupción o una ineficiencia sistemática. La IA, en segundos, identifica patrones, anomalías y pagos sospechosos que normalmente pasan desapercibidos.
Esto es Ciencia de Guerrilla aplicada a la política:
▶️ Fin de la opacidad: no hacen falta más leyes de transparencia si podemos analizar masivamente lo que ya es público.
▶️ Caza de ineficiencias: la IA no tiene amigos. Si un contrato se infla un 30% en varios ayuntamientos, lo señala. No es ideología, son datos.
▶️ Auditoría ciudadana: ¿y si en vez de esperar años a un tribunal, pudiéramos auditar presupuestos en tiempo real?
La tecnología nos da la llave para ver dónde se esconde el dinero que no llega a sanidad, educación o ciencia. La pregunta ya no es si es posible, sino si tendremos el valor de hacerlo.
¿Quién se anima a proponer cómo estructurar un modelo que, con datos abiertos, audite la contratación pública?

BIG NEWS: Germany has just made the standard Open Document Format (ODF) mandatory - TDF Community Blog
The German federal government has quietly taken an extremely significant step: hidden amongst the technical specifications of the Deutschland-Stack – the rules that will govern the sovereign digital infrastructure supporting public administration at all levels of government, from federal ministries to local council offices – there is a short but highly significant line. Under the technological pillar “Semantic technologies and real-time analysis”, the document mandates the use of just two document formats: ODF and PDF/UA. That is all. Two open, vendor-neutral formats, defined by international standardisation bodies. OOXML, Microsoft’s closed, proprietary format, is not on the list. What is the Deutschland-Stack? The Deutschland-Stack is the German federal government’s project for a sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructure that complies with European standards. It is neither a pilot project nor a policy discussion paper, but the result of a coordinated decision between the Digital Minister, the Federal Chancellery and the Chancellor, backed by the coalition agreement. The document sets out the standards that will govern how all federal public administrations, at all levels, build, procure and manage their digital systems, and envisages concrete implementation by 2028. It is worth reading its architectural principles carefully. “Made in the EU first.” Reduction of lock-in effects.
NOLIGARCHY.USWhy it matters:
When officials can vote on agenda items with little or no advance notice, transparency collapses and accountability follows. This makes it far easier for bad decisions to dodge public scrutiny and for officials to avoid consequences.
Colorado NewslineCommentary: Democrats in the Colorado Legislature have taken steps every year to erode transparency around what they do. Voters this year might have a chance to push back and declare for themselves a "fundamental right to know."
