  • Richtlijn Metadata Overheidsinformatie: Review 26 mei t/m 20 juni

    Openbare review Richtlijn Metagegevens Overheidsinformatie Op 26 mei 2025 start de openbare review van de geactualiseerde Richtlijn Metadata Overheidsinformatie (RMO). De RMO is een kader voor het gebruik van metadata voor álle systemen waarin of waarmee overheidsinformatie en -gegevens worden verwerkt. Het omvat archief-, informatie- en gegevensbeheer in brede zin, en heeft daarmee ook betrekking op bijvoorbeeld bedrijfsvoering en de publicatie van overheidsinformatie. De actualisatie van d...

    Hallo, Momenteel ben ik bezig met het inrichten van de bewaartermijnen en categorie selectielijst bij signaaltypes/processen/thema's van Zorg & Veiligheid (afdeling Integrale Veiligheid, Openbare Orde Veiligheid & Crisisbeheersing) in het systeem ATLAS. Voor een aantal van deze signaaltypen heb ik een match gevonden in de categorie selectielijst, maar bij de volgende signaaltypen nog niet. Complexe multiproblematiek Jeugd Huiselijk geweld en kindermishandeling Onbegrepen gedrag Stalking Veelp...

  • In search of green AI

    This is blog 17 in the blog series about Green IT. The previous blog post outlined how AI uses shocking amounts of energy and water. A lot of research is therefore being done to find (more) sustainable ways to apply AI. In this blog post, we examine the possibilities for green AI. We start by looking at the Four Ms of machine learning, a model that offers important guidelines for the reduction of AI energy consumption. We then transpose those insights to the heritage sector and offer advice o...

  • The paradox of AI’s environmental impact: what you need to know

    This is blog 16 in the blog series about Green IT. On 10 October 2023, an article was published with the fairly disturbing title (translated from Dutch): “Energy-guzzling AI: power consumption could equal that of the Netherlands four years from now”. The article was based on research by Dutch consultant and researcher Alex de Vries, who showed that if artificial intelligence is embraced throughout the world, its energy consumption will rapidly increase to equal that of entire countries – Irel...

  • AI is not a new thing in digital heritage

    This is blog 15 in the blog series about Green IT. Heritage organisations have been using AI for many years to make their digital collections accessible and searchable in new ways and to allow more people to discover, explore and make use of cultural treasures. In this blog, we look at how the heritage sector is already using AI, and discuss a few example projects. Applications in the heritage sector Applying AI is actually not a new development at all: there are countless projects in which a...

  • Introducing Artificial Intelligence: friend or foe?

    This is blog 14 in the blog series about Green IT. Since the launch of Chat GPT in late 2021, use of this chatbot has skyrocketed. No less than 100 million users registered in the first two months after the launch, giving a huge boost to the use of artificial intelligence. Microsoft and Alfabet (Google’s parent company) quickly followed with similar chatbots: Bing Chat and Bard. While the potential of AI seems boundless, it comes with considerable ecological impact. In the next four blogs we ...

  • Green software: Measuring to understand and to improve

    This is blog 13 in the blog series on Green IT. To measure is to know, certainly where CO2 emissions are concerned. Since the late 1990s, organisations have pursued a uniform method to measure their footprint. This makes it possible to compare data and encourages organisations to take specific steps toward improvement. When using green software, it is vital to understand how your organisation’s efforts are contributing to reducing energy consumption and hence to reducing CO2 emissions. The la...

  • Green software: Extend the lifespan of your (used) IT equipment

    This is blog 12 in the blog series about Green IT. Did you know that the lion’s share of the CO2 footprint of IT equipment is attributable to the production phase? When measuring the impact of ICT, it is therefore important to also consider the production of the hardware you use. This includes things like the servers in the data centre, the laptop and mobile phone you use, and the cables required to transport the data. In the previous two blogs we examined how software can actively contribute...

  • Green software: Do more when the electricity is cleaner

    This is blog 11 in the blog series about Green IT. Although the proportion of green energy is growing in the Netherlands, currently just 40% of our energy comes from renewable sources (1). The lion’s share is still generated using fossil fuels, also known as ‘grey energy’. Green energy isn’t always sufficiently available and remains dependent on weather conditions. The third principle of green software concerns creative solutions to better match supply and demand. Principle 3 - Carbon awarene...

  • Green software: less energy = less CO2 emission

    This is blog 10 in a series about Green IT. ​​ Imagine you download a new app, and suddenly your battery runs out much more quickly than previously. The cause: poorly programmed software. This is, in miniature, what also happens on a grand scale: in data centres and on the internet. Poorly programmed or incorrectly used software contributes to the ICT sector’s carbon footprint. How? We will explore this in the coming blogs about green software. This blog is the first on this new theme. Green ...
