The Zen of Open Data Open is better than closed.

Transparent is better than opaque. Simple is better than complex.

Accessible is better than inaccessible. Sharing is better than hoarding.

Linked is more useful than isolated. Fine grained is preferable to aggregated.

Optimise for machine readabilityBarriers prevent worthwhile things from happening.‘Flawed, but out there’ is a million times better than

‘perfect, but unattainable’. Opening data up to thousands of eyes makes the data better.
