citizens perceive political agendas/proposals, and also stimulate the emergence of discussions and contributions on the informal web (e.g. forums, social networks, blogs, newsgroups and wikis), to gather useful feedback for immediate (re)action. In this way, politicians can create a stable feedback loop between information gathered on the Web and the definition of their political agendas based on this contribution. The ability to leverage the vast amount of user-generated content for supporting governments in their political decisions requires new ICT tools that will be able to analyze and classify the opinions expressed on the informal Web, or stimulate responses, as well as to put data from sources as diverse as blogs, online opinion polls and government reports to an effective use. NOMAD is introducing these different new dimensions into the experience of policy making by providing decision-makers with fully automated solutions for content search, selection, acquisition, categorisation and visualisation that work in a collaborative form in the policy-making arena.
Communications
Provide the architectural and implementation aspects for the delivery of NOMAD tools Pilot in real life conditions and assess the added value in the policy making process Develop and implement a dissemination and exploitation strategy including: direct exploitation from project partners to enhance interoperability features of their business software products and provide better services to customers; and potential commercial exploitation of project results through next generation products platforms (suites) and services for policy making
