The story ofDavid

Sandbach

Stimulating governments to open data

Action plans

• How do we engage governments to open data– PSI directive– OGP– FOIA– Top-20– Datahunts– Data research– Standardisation– Evangelism– Open data handbook

Top-20

• Most common information on government websites

• No question if it is open data• Just get it in a machine readable format..• It avoids a LOT of research• It makes the first step an easy one

Datahunt

• Get data out of your organisation in 1 day• Look for a sponsor (CIO)• Get dataowners together• Take care of the data openings procedure• At the end of the day, you have more open

data..

Data research

• City of Leeuwarden 500+ datasets identified• Ministry of economic affairs• Ministry of infrastructure• City of Rotterdam

Evangelism

Or even better…

Open data handbook

• What governments needs to open data• Content:

– Definitions– Legal aspects– Liability– How to..– Guide lines– Etc…

Open data handbook

• Content crowd sourcing• A duplicatie of the handbook is on an total

open environment (EtherPad alike)• Invitation to contribute on twitter,

data.overheid.nl and LinkedIn• Within short cycles the content will be

updated• Longer cycles on the longer term
