NOMAD,
making citizens’ voices heard
Policy Formulation &Validation througn non-moderated crowd-sourcing
|
|
NOMAD is about interpreting citizens' opinions,
judgements and prejudices available on web and using them as core
information to support multiple stages of the policy life cycle from
the definition of the political agenda, the creation, the implementation
and the monitoring of policy proposals.
NOMAD is a web platform whose
main purpose is to provide decision-makers with fully automated
solutions for data acquisition, argument extraction, opinion mining,
sentiment analysis, argument summarization and visualisation that work
in a collaborative form in the policy-making arena. The NOMAD toolsuite
successfully integrates the NOMAD policy making tools under a single
work environment making it easy for the users to switch between the
modules.
|
NOMAD addresses a specific audience
of policy makers, political parties, domain experts, advisors,
governments, NGO’s, academics, communication specialists,
researchers, application and
service developers and media institutions.
In order to validate the value of
NOMAD in the policy making arena we conducted three different
pilots, covering different languages and thematic fields; Greek pilot
for energy, UK pilot for immunotherapy and Austrian pilot for open
data. Documenting the piloting experiences will provide the
opportunity to collect selected testimonies from pilot users that
might serve as references with regard to the value of the NOMAD tools
and give inspiration as to possible ways to put them in place in
participative policy-making environments.

NOMAD's Pilots
The 2nd round of
the UK, Greek and Austrian pilot workshops of the EC NOMAD project
was concluded successfully on November 2014. They all took place in
Athens and Vienna. The workshops showed that the interest of policy
makers, journalists and researchers has risen since the first round
of pilots and that they are interested in further interacting with
the NOMAD software platform. More people came in touch with NOMAD and
tried out its tools and online interface. The feedback received from
the interaction with the main stakeholders, the questionnaires and
some applications of NOMAD to smaller case studies will lead to
further improvement of the NOMAD platform.

Greece.

patients’ life and the awareness of immunotherapy, as an effective
treatment, ultimately aiming to further substantiate EAACI’s policy
proposals in EU commission for immunotherapy promotion.

Through the use of NOMAD the Austrian Parliamentary
analysed the public debate on open government data and freedom of information
policies in order to obtain a clearer picture of the positions of major
interest groups towards the OGD movement and towards the movement for a
freedom of information act.
