avoin-data

"OM:lla hanke sähköisen demokratian edistämisestä (SADe-ohjelma, http://bit.ly/cRUPhX ), tähän liittyy myös datan avaamista, kansalaisten osallistumisen tukemista (voimaannuttaminen?) ja osallistumisympäristön rakentaminen. Suurempia suunnitelmia avoimuudelle siis on, mutta niiden tähtäin on vuosien päässä."

"This consultation relates to proposals made by the Prime Minister on 17 November 2009, to make certain Ordnance Survey datasets\navailable for free with no restrictions on re-use. Scope of this consultation: The consultation seeks views about how we best implement the above proposal, in the context of other strategic options for Ordnance Survey and the wider geographic information market."

""Yes, but what do I actually have to do to publish my data?" In an attempt to simplify the answer to that oft unuttered question, I break things down in to three steps. Step 1 Get your Data Out Step 2 Get your Data In Step 3 Link it all about "

# They expected a new community to build itself. # They wrote their own license."

joo kiinnitin tähän kanssa huomiota eilen... kun tekijänä on HSL ja reittiopasporukka, niin on toivoa siitä, että saadaan myös rajapinta, eikä vaik portaalia, mutta varmuutta tästä ei ole

"In my humble opinion, there are two main reasons to be cautious: 1. Contests so far have generated relatively few ideas, most of which either relate to the realm of politics (e.g. how to map funding to politicians to what they do) or to relatively narrow areas, such as crime-related information. I have not yet seen anything extraordinary that would have a significant impact on service levels. 2. Contestants are necessarily either professional programmers, working for a vendor or self employed, or geeks. My contention is neither category is very likely to be hugely representative of the public at large."

The key issues according Peter Murray-rust: * What is data? * Why should data be open? (and when should it not be?) * Who owns data? * When should data be released? * How and where should data be exposed? * Datamining and textmining. * Reproducibility.

"The report presented various roles for e-government in addressing the ongoing world financial and economic crisis. The public trust that is gained through transparency can be further enhanced through the free sharing of government data based on open standards. The ability of e-government to handle speed and complexity can also underpin regulatory reform. While technology is no substitute for good policy, it may give citizens the power to question the actions of regulators and bring systemic issues to the fore."

"This site aims to make some of that information more easily accessible, and to encourage transparency in government. This site is a volunteer, spare-time effort of mine. I built it because I think Parliament's goings-on are important-alternately fascinating, boring, and depressing, but important-and because I believe that public information should be meaningfully public, which today means shareable and computer-readable."

""Of course we should know how our representatives are representing us, of course we should be able to see what's being done with our tax dollars," Mulley writes on the site. "But, as information and data become increasingly synonymous, making information available isn't enough. To be useful, it has to be usable. It has to be freely available, in a flexible digital format. It has to be open.""

"Julkisesti tuotetut ja rahoitetut tietoaineistot muodostavat merkittävän kansallisen resurssin, joka kuitenkin tällä hetkellä on vajavaisesti käytettävissä. Laaja ja helppo pääsy tietoaineistoihin ja niitä hyödyntäviin sähköisiin palveluihin kasvattaa tutkimus- ja innovaatiotoiminnan tehokkuutta, mahdollistaa uusia löytöjä sekä sallii tietoaineistojen käytön ennen arvaamattomin tavoin ja yhä uusissa yhteyksissä, raportissa todetaan.

"LODUM takes this approach to the next level by implementing a strategy that aims to improve the transparency and visibility of the university. The comprehensive LODUM approach includes an Open Access strategy for publications as well as publishing any non-sensitive data online following the Linked Data principles. Both the Open Access and Open Data movements are currently gaining a lot of momentum and will shape the future of academic publishing and accessibility of public data. The University of Münster is the first German university to implement an extensive program following these new approaches, which have recently also been published as recommendations for the future development of university libraries by the German research council."

"a number of organizations - POGO, OMB Watch, CREW, National Security Archive, the Center for Democracy and Technology and the Open The Government coalition- and Sunlight sent a letter to Vivek Kundra, Federal CIO, about improvements needed to the release of High Value Datasets on Data.gov."

"Governments around the globe are opening up their data vaults - allowing you to check out the numbers for yourself. This is the Guardian's gateway to that information. Search for government data here from the UK (including London), USA, Australia and New Zealand - and look out for new countries and places as we add them."
