Motivation and Context The aim of this deliverable is to provide an overview of programmes, strategies, initiatives as well as concrete projects and activities related to the topics of Open Data and Digital Economy at EU, national and regional (related to the eight regions involved in the project) levels. Information on EU and Alpine Region level has been compiled by Biz-Up, respective information on regional level has been provided by each region and was compiled by Biz-Up into this deliverable. Information collected here will be important input for the discussions in the Local Working Groups of the eight regions, and will contribute to decisions about next steps to be taken within DEAS, as to be outlines in DT1.4.3, The DEAS Methodology. 2. Overview of relevant programmes and activities at EU level In what follows we link to some EU information sources related to the area of digital society / economy and data that seem to be relevant to DEAS. The collection is by far not exhaustive and is meant as a starting point for deeper studies, if required. 2.1. European Commission Digital Strategy Source: https://ec.europa.eu/info/publications/EC-Digital-Strategy_en (Nov 2018) “It sets a vision for the Commission to become a digitally transformed, user-focused and data-driven administration by 2022.” 2.2. The European Data Strategy Source: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/policies/building-european-data- economy (Feb 2020) “Creating a single market for data will make the EU more competitive globally and will enable innovative processes, products and services. Industrial and commercial data are key drivers of the digital economy.” Page 3 of 45 DT1.4.1: Report on the perspective of the Data Economy in AS with reference to mobility, environment and tourism & culture Some key information given in graphical form: Digital Single Market (announced May 2915) “Shaping Europe’s digital future: A European approach to digital transformation means empowering and including every citizen, strengthening the potential of every business and meeting global challenges with our core values.” 2.3. Open Data Legal framework • An important cornerstone in the history of European Open Data is the “The Directive on Open Data and the re-use of Public Sector Information” (PSI) (Directive (EU) 2019/1024, 16 July 2019) to make public sector and publicly funded data re-usable. The Deadline for the directive to be implemented by EU member states is July 17, 2021.

Overview of relevant programmes and activities at AS level The Alpine Convention (signed by 8 alpine countries in 1995) has published a Digital Agenda in 2014 (ISBN 9788897500223). Among other things it identifies a lack of open data in the Alpine Space The Interreg Programme with its regional sub-programmes is a highly relevant platform to initiate activities and projects on the topic of Digital Economy including Open Data. Even if many of them are not explicitly dealing with the Alpine Space they may be highly relevant for AS in that they provide inspiration and models for activities to be derived for AS. Some Interreg projects and other activities related to open Data include • BOOST, in the framework of the OSIRIS Programme (Open Social Innovation policies driven by co-creative Regional Innovation eco-systemS) • Open Data for Smarter Cities: Webinar on the Policy Learning Platform, 30/04/2020 • Energy Open Data: Pilot Action in the framework of CLEAN • ODEON: Open Data for European Open Innovation (Interreg Mediterranean) Page 6 of 45 DT1.4.1: Report on the perspective of the Data Economy in AS with reference to mobility, environment and tourism & culture 4. Overview of relevant programmes and activities at regional level This section contains contributions by all 8 regions involved in DEAS, providing an overview of calls, strategies (S3), initiatives, operative plans etc. on a regional level related to the topics of Open Data (OD) and Data Economy (DE). Items included may cover aspects that can be considered an integral part of the “digital value chain”: on the one hand this regards technological foundations such as data exchange platforms, AI / machine learning technologies or aspects of data sovereignty. On the other end of the spectrum are new business and contract models related to data-driven business. Along these lines the eight regions compiled their contributions, presented below.

Alsace and Lorraine were the names of two provinces under our monarchy, but provinces — as such — have ceased to exi$t in France since 1790 ; the country is divided into depart- ments — mere administrative subdivisions under the same national laws and ordi- nances — nor has the most prejudiced his- torian ever been able to point to the slight- est dissatisfaction with this arrangement on the part of any district in France, from Dunkirk to Perpignan, or from Brest to INTRODUCTION Strasbourg. France affords a perfect exam- ple of the communion of one and all in deep love and reverence for the mother-country ; and the history of the unfortunate depart- ments subjected to the yoke of Prussian militarism since 1871 is the most eloquent and striking confirmation of the justice of France's demand for reparation of the crime then committed by Germany.

  • 27. Eiman / Eimen / Eymann
    EIMAN 27. EIMAN / EIMEN / EYMANN The Eiman name, found in many different forms from Aymann to Eimer, belongs to a very prolific Anabaptist family in Alsace and Lorraine, France. Eiman was the common form used in Canada. Although the name is not found among Canadians of Amish-Mennonite descent today, there are many with Eymann/Eiman ancestry – most notably, the Wagler family. This EIMAN Family Genealogical Introduction will be divided into the following sections: 1. The Barbe Eymann and Isaac Wagler Family 2. The Peter Eymann Family a) The John Eiman and Barbara Goldschmidt Family (grandson) b) The Peter and Magdalena (Frutiger) Eiman Family (son) c) The Daniel and Barbara (Zehr) Eiman family (grandson) 3. The Nicholas Eyman of the “Eymann Bible” 4. Jacob Eyman THE BARBE EYMANN AND ISAAC WAGLER FAMILY The Barbe Eymann and Isaac Wagler family is listed first because so many of the present-day families in the Amish Mennonite communities in Ontario, Canada can trace their ancestry to this couple. Johannes Wagler, the father of Isaac Wagler, re-negotiated a lease on the Muesberg Farm for 18 years beginning in April 1765. Muesberg and Muesbach were the names of farms/estates on which Waglers and Eimans lived, and were located in the district of Ribeauvillé, Department of Haut Rhin (Upper Alsace). By that time Isaac Wagler was living on the Muesbach Farm and had added his signature to a lease negotiated by Peter and Nicholas Eymann in 1762. When that lease ran out, Isaac Wagler and Peter Eymann renewed the lease for the period 1781 to 1799.

  • The Trial of Peter Von Hagenbach: Reconciling History, Historiography, and International Criminal Law
    THE TRIAL OF PETER VON HAGENBACH: RECONCILING HISTORY, HISTORIOGRAPHY, AND INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW Gregory S. Gordon* I. INTRODUCTION It is an article of faith among transnational penal experts that Sir Peter von Hagenbach's 1474 prosecution in Breisach for atrocities committed serving the Duke of Burgundy constitutes the first international war crimes trial in history. Hagenbach was tried before an ad hoc tribunal of twenty-eight judges from various regional city-states for misdeeds, including murder and rape, he allegedly perpetrated as governor of the Duke's Alsatian territories from 1469 to 1474. Though it remains obscure in the popular imagination, most legal scholars perceive the trial as a landmark event. Some value it for formulating an embryonic version of crimes against humanity. Others praise it for ostensibly charging rape as a war crime. And all are in agreement that it is the first recorded case in history to reject the defense of superior orders. Such a perspective has arguably helped invest the Nuremberg trials with greater historical legitimacy and lent subtle sanction to the development of international criminal law in the post-Cold War world. But the legal literature typically deals with the trial in very cursory fashion and its stature as pre-Nuremberg precedent may hinge on faulty assumptions. As the 1990s explosion of ad hoc tribunal activity is nearing its end and the legal academy is taking stock of its accomplishments and failures, it is perhaps time to look more closely at the Hagenbach trial. This piece will do that by digging below the surface and revisiting some of the historical and legal premises underlying the trial's perception by legal academics.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • THE POTASH DEPOSITS of ALSACE. by HOYT S
    THE POTASH DEPOSITS OF ALSACE. By HOYT S. INTRODUCTION. When potash was discovered in Alsace in 1904 the monopoly of the potash industry that had rested with the owners of the great deposits in north-central Germany since 1860 was broken. The new field, although less extensive than that of Germany, was very soon recog­ nized as having several important advantages over the older developed field. The Alsatian deposits underlie a large area in exceedingly regular beds, and the salts are on the average remarkably rich in potash. The deposits consist of a simple mixture of potassium and sodium chlorides, known as sylvinite, with very little other soluble material. This mixture of crude salts requires only the simplest chemi­ cal treatment in order to purify it into the higher grades of potash salts. The field itself is somewhat farther from ocean ports than the north-central German region, but as it lies in a well-developed part of the Rhine Valley, directly on the routes of main-line water and rail transportation, this difference is not a serious handicap. It is natural, therefore, that the first mine opened in the new Alsatian field at once took third or fourth rank as a producer with all the older Ger­ man mines, a position it has since been well able to maintain. It has seemed a strange coincidence that the only two really large deposits of soluble potash salts that have been found in the whole world should have been opened within .the domain controlled by a single empire. The return of Alsace to France now divides the monopoly of this important natural resource, and general interest in the details of the Alsatian field and its prospects for the future has increased.

This is all being organized by the Agence de Développement Touristique de Haute-Alsace and the Conseil Général des Vosges having jointly worked together to implement actions and projects along with the local Vosges Mountain tourism actors, allowing access to the historic memorial sites on the Vosges front line in an instructive, accessible and well-planned manner. This common approach resolves the interdepartmental tourism development challenge by relying on already-existing investments, reinforcing the beauty of this area and notably opening the door to consolidating French-German relations through dialogue and recognition of a shared European heritage. Eight community of communes eagerly stepped forward around 11 memory sites: In the Vosges Department: Roche Mère Henry (CC Senones Region), Chapelotte (CC Plaine Valley), Fontenelle (CC
