Abstract

Several participation initiatives are been conducted by many governments around the world, following the open government trend. Despite of the wide range and variety of such initiatives, most of them face a common technical challenge: lack of appropriate technical tools to automatically summarize stakeholders' opinions and discussions. This paper focuses on some recent contributions within a recent e-Participation framework, namely Electronic Empowerment (E²) Participation. This concept was coined as part of a multi-disciplinary research project, aiming at integrating Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering techniques and tools with Electronic Governance models and principles to design innovative tools for e-Participation. The main contribution of this ongoing research paper is an outline of a novel algorithmic characterization for opinion mining, which is being developed within the E² framework.
