Why Every Brand Needs an Open API for Developers - 1 views

  • With APIs, you let other developers do your R&D for you. The benefit? You get development at scale with minimal investment. You effectively outsource risk because failures don’t cost you anything.
  • It’s easy to envision how brands whose core business revolves around technology or data could make use of an API
  • By providing access to that value through an API, they would allow the delivery of that value to spread exponentially.

Geo2Gov Mashup interview « Communica - 0 views

  • The simple summary is that geo2gov is a spatial search engine. The longer version is that geo2gov takes a location in a variety of different formats (address, postcode, suburb, place name, ip address, etc) and converts them to a GPS location, then drills that point through half a dozen spatial layers to identify federal, state, local and ward level locations, as well as your statistical location within the most recent census.

Gov 2.0: The end of a GovFresh era - 0 views

  • this has been a civic adventure driven by pure patriotic adrenaline
  • passionate, patriotic group of people I’m proud to now call friends
  • Over the past few months, I’ve tried to work on establishing a sustainable business model, but the challenge around building an immediate solid foundation has turned into a case of ‘too little, too late.’
  •  
    GovFresh went awry and failed to establish a business model. Interessante Aussagen: passionate, patriotic aber kein Business Modell. Wo ist der Unterschied zu eg. Open Source? * Open Source "erzeugt" ein Produkt, das in der digitalen Welt "gehandelt" werden kann, eine digitale Plattform ohne digitale Produkte mit EndanwenderInnennutzen hat diese Eigenschaft nicht * Open Source communities sind erfolgreich, wenn sie Probleme in sehr kleine Einheiten brechen können. Damit steht potentiell vielen peers "Mitmachen" offen. Open Data erfordert ein skill level, das von nicht-Technikern schwer aufzubringen sein wird, macht damit jene, die sich nicht beteiligen und "credit" geben, zu Trittbrettfahrern

How do we get government to share data? - O'Reilly Radar - 1 views

  • How, then, does the public get access to data, and ideally, to raw data streams?
  • Using force, by changing the laws or creating new regulations
  • Using intimidation, by enlisting the news media to pressure the agency
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • By creating value for agencies to entice them to share the data.
  • So what, exactly, is public data? Is crime data actually public data, and do agencies have to provide it? If so, why don’t they provide it as a raw data feed? The answer is this: while crime data concerns the general public, it is not exactly public data per se
