DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260601T133000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260601T140000
DESCRIPTION:AI-ready data forms the indispensable basis for successful AI 
 initiatives\, as unclear data quality and a lack of transparency are among
  the most common reasons for project failure. A structured 360° view of t
 he data landscape reveals existing data treasures\, enables realistic use 
 case evaluations\, and provides clarity about potential and gaps. The FAIR
  criteria serve as a framework for sustainable and high-performance data q
 uality. By focusing on data maturity measures\, which range from data inve
 ntory and maturity assessment to the derivation of concrete measures\, the
  path to a robust database is systematically outlined. Supplemented by pra
 ctical experience and lessons learned\, we show how companies can optimize
  their data landscape in a targeted manner and thus ensure the future viab
 ility of data-driven AI projects.

DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260601T150000
DESCRIPTION:Public administration files and information go through a compl
 ex life cycle that is regulated by law from data creation to deletion or a
 rchiving and has been practiced for many years. But how do the legal requi
 rements that form the basis of the digital life cycle translate to digital
  administration? In this context\, the goal of electronic archiving is alw
 ays to generate open data. During the event\, which will feature a fluid t
 ransition between lectures and workshops\, the current status and developm
 ent goals will be clearly illustrated using the example of Leipzig's city 
 administration. The presentation will also explicitly address limiting fac
 tors such as legal requirements\, capacities\, interface developments\, an

DESCRIPTION:Handwritten texts are not only found in historical archives\, 
 but also in modern industrial everyday life—for example\, on labels\, fo
 rms\, or protocols. However\, their automatic recognition poses particular
  challenges for data science\, especially in German-speaking countries\, w
 here freely available\, diverse handwriting datasets are rare. In this pre
 sentation\, we introduce two new\, publicly accessible datasets created fr
 om 852 handwritten German pages. Both datasets have been published on Zeno
 do and are freely available to researchers in linguistics\, computer scien
 ce\, and related disciplines.\nThe presentation shows how OCR models can b
 e successfully transferred to real-world applications. The contribution co
 mbines open data\, modern AI methods\, and concrete industrial use cases
 —and shows how handwriting recognition can advance both research and pra

DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260601T104500
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260601T113000
DESCRIPTION:In his keynote address at Data Week\, Professor Dirk Baecker o
 ffers a fundamental perspective on the relationship between humans and mac
 hines in the age of digitalization. The focus is not on the oft-discussed 
 question of whether technology will replace hard labor or human fallibilit
 y\, but rather on the growing ability of digital systems to integrate coop
 eratively and communicatively into human interactions. Digital technologie
 s and artificial intelligence act as a mirror of our society—and at the 
 same time reveal how difficult it is for us to recognize ourselves in them
 . How do we communicate meaningfully with machines? How much closeness is 
 productive\, and how much distance is necessary? And how much interconnect
 ion between humans and digital systems can a digital city tolerate? The ke
 ynote explores these questions and highlights which patterns of human inte
 raction—particularly in urban spaces—are becoming visible through digi
 talization. It invites us to rethink what form of digitalization our socie
 ty needs.

DESCRIPTION:Test the DoorCE Toolbox for the entire open data lifecycle: In
  this workshop\, participants will learn how to use the Open Data Toolbox\
 , which was developed for managing open data at the municipal level\, to u
 pload\, describe\, license\, and publish data sets without requiring a hig
 h level of technical expertise. The architecture of the toolbox will be pr
 esented\, from modules for data preparation to metadata and license manage
 ment to interfaces (APIs) that enable real-time data usage. Participants c
 an try out the individual steps for themselves using sample data sets from
  the pilot municipalities of the Interreg Central Europe project DoorCE (D
 ata Opener Central Europe)\, preferably with their own laptop. The low-cod
 e/no-code principles of the toolbox are designed to enable even non-techni
 cal employees in administrations and organizations to actively participate
  in shaping open data processes. In addition to practical application\, th
 e organizational and legal framework conditions for data opening will also
  be discussed: What strategies and governance structures are necessary? Ho

DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260602T133000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260602T150000
DESCRIPTION:Urban Digital Twins (UDTs) are an established tool in urban an
 d spatial planning\, used to create data-driven representations of complex
  urban systems\, highlight interactions\, and make decision-making process
 es more informed and efficient. However\, building and designing a specifi

 ta sources\, modeling\, reuse\, and interoperability. Drawing on current r
 esearch and two concrete practical examples\, the panel will discuss the e
 ntire lifecycle of a digital twin: How can a city begin to implement data-
 driven climate adaptation or climate protection? How does the city of Leip
 zig transition from its energy twin to remote sensing data? And how does t
 he city of Speyer conduct its evidence-based urban planning using its 3D c
 ity model? Above all\, however\, the presentations are intended to serve a
 s a foundation for in-depth discussions of specific topics with experts fr

DESCRIPTION:Nearly half of Germany’s major cities use AI chatbots to han
 dle citizen inquiries. Only one-third of the population trusts the governm
 ent\, and by 2030 there will be a shortage of over one million local gover
 nment professionals. Digitalization is a necessity—but it remains unclea
 r who will ensure that it remains responsible. Local governments and busin
 esses have long been working on this\, though with differing approaches th
 at go beyond the common regulatory framework (e.g.\, the AI Regulation and
  the GDPR). In companies\, competition\, reputation\, and liability drive

 blic welfare mandate\, reliability\, and democratic legitimacy. Both sides

DESCRIPTION:In their joint presentation\, Eric Engels and Norman Radtke hi
 ghlight special features in the reuse of data catalogs from existing open 
 data portals (e.g. filtering for Hessian content)\, the expanded presentat
 ion of content\, the generation of statistical evaluations of data catalog
 s\, and the preparation of their own data catalogs (e.g.\, a partial data 
 catalog for each municipality). The focus of this work is strongly on data
  homogenization and standardization\, for example\, to enable alignment at
  the file level. The proposed solutions are implemented both within the CK
 AN extension developed in Hesse itself and on the data of the knowledge gr
 aph (RDF\, DCAT)\, using SPARQL update queries.

DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260602T113000

DESCRIPTION:Data sets containing personal and other confidential informati
 on are usually only published in summary form and with few subcategories. 
 The risk of confidential individual values being inferred from differences
  between different summaries is too great. The cell key method allows thes
 e data sets to be published flexibly without revealing confidential inform
 ation. The presentation introduces the cell key method and a software solu
 tion that supports the workflow for creating data sets modified using the 
 cell key method and also provides a user interface for publication.

DESCRIPTION:Modern AI-driven chat apps such as ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Claude a

 writing texts or programming more efficiently. Some people overestimate th
 e quality of generated text and may not admit that they have not curated A
 I-generated text properly. About 20 years ago we had to learn how to “go
 ogle” properly\, today we need to learn how to “prompt”. In this lec
 ture\, we will give an insight into various challenges that the current AI
  revolution is imposing on us and a number of opportunities in this contex
 t. The lecture gives examples\, tips and tricks for dealing with Generativ
 e AI and will be followed by a practical part. It is recommended that you

 alized\, and which technologies are now robust enough for productive use? 
 Where are the limits\, and how do the priorities of research and industry 
 differ? Instead of just asking what AI can do\, we focus on what people ne
 ed. We open up a philosophical space and discuss how AI systems must be de
 signed to support a good life and what visions of the future are already s
 haping our actions today. Together\, we want to develop a realistic and hu
 man-centered perspective on AI. A lecture to think about and discuss.

DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a topic for the futu
 re\; it is already changing how we live\, work\, and engage with society. 
 But while companies and public authorities are increasingly using AI techn
 ologies\, civil society often lags behind. Is it too complex\, too uncerta
 in\, too many unanswered questions? Or is it a missed opportunity for grea
 ter public welfare\, participation\, and innovation?\nAI offers enormous p
 otential for civil society action\, from the automation of processes to da
 ta-based campaigns and new forms of participation. At the same time\, pres
 sing questions arise: How can data protection and ethics be guaranteed? Wh
 ere are the limits and risks? And how can AI be designed in such a way tha
 t it truly serves the common good?\nIn this discussion\, we want to highli
 ght specific examples\, challenges\, and solutions and discuss together ho
 w civil society can use AI responsibly and courageously.
