Open government data in Germany: what next?
,----[ Quote ]
| Quite a lot has happened since last
| September, when we founded the âOpen Data
| Networkâ, a non-profit organisation to
| promote open data, open government,
| transparency and citizen participation here
| in Germany. This new initiative gained a
| lot of attention and positive feedback from
| all across the society: among the founding
| members we have representatives from civil
| society organisations, the public sector,
| private companies and representatives from
| all 6 major german political parties. Since
| then we have established a wide network,
| continually reporting on open data issues
| on our well known Open Data Blog, and have
| been invited to present at a wide variety
| of meetings, workshops and conferences.

The Europeana Public Domain Charter
,----[ Quote ]
| The Europeana Foundation has published a
| policy statement, the Public Domain
| Charter, to highlight the value of public
| domain content in the knowledge economy. It
| alerts Europe's museums, libraries,
| archives and audiovisual collections to the
| fact that digitisation of Public Domain
| content does not create new rights in it.

Case Study: How Open data saved Canada $3.2 Billion
,----[ Quote ]
| Why does open data matter? Rather than talk
| in abstract terms, let me share a well
| documented but little known story about how
| open data helped expose one of the biggest
| tax frauds in Canadaâs history.

Government transparency: Using search data to connect with your audience
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of weeks ago at Transparency Camp,
| I gave a talk on using search data to help
| ensure that the information the
| organizations in attendance were opening up
| could be found by the right audiences. It's
| awesome that organizations like the
| Sunlight Foundation, Open Congress, and
| Follow the Money are making details about
| government actions easily accessible by
| citizens. And the government itself has
| made great strides in opening up data with
| sites such as recovery.gov and data.gov.

Datadotgc.ca Launched â the opportunity and challenge
,----[ Quote ]
| Today I'm really pleased to announce that
| we've launched datadotgc.ca, a volunteer
| driven site I'm collaboratively creating
| with a small group of friends and, I hope,
| a growing community that, if you are
| interested, may include you.
|
| As many of you already know I, and many
| other people, want our governments to open
| up and share their data, in useful,
| structured formats that people can actually
| use or analyze. Unlike our American and
| British peers, the Canadian Federal (and
| provincial...) government(s) currently have
| no official, coordinated effort to release
| government data.

The open society
,----[ Quote ]
| America is in the lead on data access. On
| his first full day in office Barack Obama
| issued a presidential memorandum ordering
| the heads of federal agencies to make
| available as much information as possible,
| urging them to act âwith a clear
| presumption: in the face of doubt, openness
| prevailsâ. This was all the more remarkable
| since the Bush administration had explicitly
| instructed agencies to do the opposite.

Open Access linked to Alabama shooting
,----[ Quote ]
| On 15th February, for instance, The Daily
| Kos pointed out that the International
| Journal of General Medicine charges authors
| to publish their papers. This fact alone,
| The Daily Kos seemed to imply, meant that
| the paper would have been inadequate. But
| there was more.

Free Our Data response to the DCLG consultation on OS Free
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Our Data campaign was co-founded in
| March 2006 by Charles Arthur and Michael
| Cross with the aim of persuading government
| that non-personal datasets created by
| government-owned agencies and companies and
| organisations should be made available for
| free reuse without licence restrictions.
