Open Government Data in Austria
,----[ Quote ]
| Open government data initiatives around the
| world are a big chance to make a change and
| present success stories and incentives to the
| public and policy makers. Of course, it will be
| a question of which data sets to open and what
| the consequences are. In a workshop with Rufus
| Pollock we could see that there are big
| differences between Austrian and Anglo-American
| and Scandinavian mentality: before we do
| something, we think out all possible (bad)
| consequences. Which is good, but firstly, this
| might take a while, secondly, we might think of
| more problems than there will actually turn
| out, and thirdly, sometimes the overall social
| benefit will just exceed costs.

| free reuse without licence restrictions.
