Collecting the EU's Regional Funds
Lindenberg, Friedrich
One of the key funding mechanisms of the European Union is the Regional Policy, which helps to implement infrastructure projects across the 27 member states. Money is allocated along a set of objectives and disbursed at the regional level, by 60-odd managing bodies. But who is getting the money and what is it really spent on? The answer lies distributed across the local administrations and has only been collected into a common database once, in 2010. It took the TBIJ and Financial Times eight months to gather the information, leading to a series of disclosures about misallocated funds and shady projects. This is why we believe that there should be a constantly-updated database of these reports, maintained by an open community and available as a resource to journalists and policy makers at any time. The right time to start such a data commons, as the 2007-2013 budgetary cycle of the EU is coming to a close and it's time to get a picture of how well the goals set out for 347 billion Euros of funding during this period have been reflected in actual projects. We want to make a map of member states and regions where open data projects are already collecting this data and then form small teams to take on the uncharted terrtories, find PDF reports and to convert them to clean and useable data. So, join the ERDF Ghostbusters and help us to map the European money!

The utilization of resources from the EU structural funds and from the EAFRD fund on the example of the Jemnice microregion
VALA, Kamil
This dissertation is focused on the utilization of resources from the EU structural funds and from the EAFRD fund on the example of the Jemnice microregion. The presented elaboration deals about the points at issues like obtainment and utilization of financial resources from the structural funds and from the EAFRD fund in the JM. Regarding the mentioned examples of realized or planned projects, the importance of financial subventions from the structural EU funds and the EAFRD fund is apparently contributing to the successful development of the Jemnice microregion. In spite of the fact that, in comparison with the whole Czech Republic, during the programming period 2007 {--} 2013 the lower allotment from the EU structural funds managed to be drawn from per capita, a great deal of projects could not be realized without the financial EU support in the Jemnice microregion at all.

Using semantic technologies in markup languages
Štencek, Jiří ; Nekvasil, Marek (advisor) ; Kliegr, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyzes the use of semantic technologies in the field of today's web portals. The aim is to map the major web servers and services. Work on the contrary seek cover all sites (blogs, corporate sites, etc.) that use semantic technologies, as it had almost no meaningful value. Contribution of this work should be an analysis of the implementation of semantic technologies on the Internet. This should show how much vision of the Semantic Web expands. How many web sites use this technology. Web sites that we use every day and which offer capabilities and features that we might not even know. Other benefits could be for example: extending the use of Semantic Web tools (Operator plugin, Semantic Radar), information awareness among Internet users who have never heard about this term. In other hand, it could be a basis to further and more detailed mapping of semantic sites. For example, statistically-oriented work on the utilization rates of ontological dictionaries. The work begins with an introduction to the world wide web as a beginning to the present, outlining the basic ideology WWW. Show us the pitfalls of the current WWW and its possible further development line. Chapter entitled Understanding the Semantic Web describes the basic building stones and architecture of this vision. Describes the framework RDF, ontology, and not forget the section on the safety of the Semantic Web. With this knowledge we have chapter Integration semantics on the current WWW to learn about options, where to find the necessary metadata and related principles of Linked Data. metadata to (X) HTML. More specifically, we describe microformats, RDFa and the eRDF. Conclusion chapter makes the comparison of these technologies and and show us practical examples of their implementation. The last chapter, which is called Analysis of the use of knowledge technologies now brings you an overview of the servers that use one of the above technologies. Describes the open source database, semantic search engines, ontological dictionaries and finally community and information portals. The results of the present chapter is a summary of the implementation and reflection on the real benefits and possible incentives Semantic Web.
