Increasing Public Value through Co-Creation of Open Knowledge

The aim of our research is to study how to increase Public Value through the collective participation, involving Public Administrations, stakeholders and citizens together. The Public Value for citizens is in the available and gained Knowledge. The paper models this concept by introducing a variant of the classic Data-Information-Knowledge pyramid, considering everything published as open and public. The paper introduces a social and iterative process designed for user appropriation, that includes the Knowledge and Data Co-Creation with the aim to generate public Open Knowledge. Users with process and technology appropriation can creatively follow the process in different ways. The paper concludes by introducing a brief preliminary scenario that exploits the process, platform and technology in the context of Cultural Heritage.
