The document discusses open data from both a local and global perspective. It outlines the benefits of open data, such as enabling new opportunities and increased relevance for governments. However, it also notes some challenges to open data like data quality issues and concerns about exposing incompetence or proprietary information. The document advocates starting simply by publishing basic open data and improving over time.
This document is a collection of miscellaneous ideas, thoughts, images and links on various topics including the digital world, institutions, and the future of libraries. It discusses how the digital world is fluid and dynamic, requiring new approaches to organization. New approaches mentioned include tagging, playlists, hyperlinks and user-generated metadata. Examples are given of positive trends like sharing knowledge through social networks and collaboration platforms. The challenges and opportunities for institutions in this new environment are also addressed, along with exemplars of innovative library spaces focusing on areas like services, collaboration, sustainability and flexibility.
Democratizing Data to transform gov., business & daily lifeW. David Stephenson
The document discusses democratizing data by making it freely accessible to citizens, workers and the public in order to transform government, business, and daily life. It argues that providing tools to access and visualize structured, tagged data can empower people and lead to innovation, increased efficiency and cost reductions. The key steps are making government and corporate data open, using standards to tag and syndicate it, providing visualization tools, giving workers access to data, and crowdsourcing ideas from the public.
This is a vision talk, looking at what is happening on the Web with large scale community interactions. It discusses ongoing efforts, Chinese Human Flesh Search Engine, and a research agenda for "Social Machines" based on these emerging challenges.
"Why the Semantic Web will Never Work" (note the quotes)James Hendler
This talk refutes some criticisms of the semantic web, but also outlines some research challenges we must overcome if we are to ever realize Tim Berners-Lee's original Semantic Web vision.
This summarizes my concept of a transformation in which data is only entered once (by government, businesses or the public), automatically tagged with metadata, and then flows, preferably on a real-time basis, to anyone who needs it (limited only by their roles), plus tools to use and interpret the data. The results will be new goods & services, transparency, and economical operations!
An updated "what is happening on the Semantic Web" presentation for 2010 - includes business use, government use, and some speculation on the current areas of excitement and development. A very accessible talk, not aimed solely at a technical audience.
Drupalcon keynote: Open Source and Open Data in the age of the cloudTim O'Reilly
My keynote at Drupalcon SF on April 20, 2009. Similar to my talk at OSBC, MySQL and Greenplum, but with a bit of a drupal twist. Ending riff on DIY inspired by Isaiah Saxon's comments on my MySQL keynote.
The document discusses Lora Aroyo's work on crowdsourcing and human annotation. It outlines 7 myths about human annotation that influence how data is collected, and argues that disagreement among annotators is valuable rather than something to reduce. It presents Aroyo's work developing CrowdTruth, which aims to revise theories of truth for annotated data. The document also briefly describes some of Aroyo's projects involving crowdsourcing medical relations, collaborations between CrowdTruth and IBM Watson, and the growth of the CrowdTruth team over time.
Open Source and Open Data in the Age of the CloudTim O'Reilly
Another of my "State of the Internet Operating System" talks, this one given at the MySQL User Conference on April 14, 2010. A bit more of a focus on open data.
Another version of my talk about the state of the Internet Operating System, but this one focused on how it will affect business intelligence. Given at Greenplum Days in Las Vegas, held in conjunction with the Gartner BI Summit.
The document summarizes a workshop on going digital and getting staff online. It discusses presenting on chat reference services and digital forums at the institution. It also describes a past project called "South Land" aimed at getting staff more engaged with digital services by exploring new roles and opportunities through small experimental teams. The document emphasizes focusing on changing staff attitudes and giving them space to experiment over strict targets and evaluations.
Christian van der Ven presented on using forums to build user communities for local history, genealogy, and historical research. The Brabant Historical Information Center started forums in 2006 and saw growth in posts and comments over time. Their strategy was to constantly monitor and engage with users. This resulted in patrons meeting and helping each other, as well as the archives gaining additional information. While it brought challenges, forums overall helped the archives provide an alternative reference platform and build community."
Collecting sharing and improving data: changing roles for librarians and user...Rose Holley
- Trove is a digital library platform developed by the National Library of Australia that provides a single search interface to discover digital collections from libraries, archives, and museums.
- It has grown significantly since its launch in 2009 through contributions from over 1,100 organizations and the digitization of over 120 million items.
- Users can tag, comment on, and correct text within the collections, helping to enhance access and discoverability of content through their contributions and interactions.
Open Source in the Cloud Computing EraTim O'Reilly
While open source software plays an important role in many cloud applications, we need to understand where the cloud is taking us or we'll find ourselves in the grip of a new monopoly. Open source needs to get serious about building interoperable open data services - they are the operating system of the internet.
This document provides an agenda for a course on linked data. It introduces linked data and the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which is a data format for the web. The agenda covers RDF formats like Turtle and RDF/XML, as well as describing data with RDF Schema. It also discusses converting existing data to RDF, publishing linked open data, and using the SPARQL query language. The final project involves collecting, converting and publishing local data for applications using that data. Grades are based on participation and completing the final project.
Building and Managing Online CommunitiesRose Holley
The document discusses the development and management of the Trove online community platform in Australia. It summarizes how Trove began as the Australian Newspapers digitization project in 2007 and expanded in 2010 to become a single discovery service for libraries, archives and museums. It describes how Trove engaged users by allowing them to correct OCR text, add tags and comments, and contributed their own content like photos and videos. Over time, Trove saw increasing user contributions that helped improve and expand the collection.
Social Networks and the Semantic Web: a retrospective of the past 10 yearsPeter Mika
The document summarizes the past 10 years of social networks and the Semantic Web. It discusses how early visions of a decentralized, interoperable Social-Semantic Web did not fully materialize due to social networks consolidating user data into silos. However, work continues through standards bodies to develop vocabularies and building blocks that could still enable a federated social web. It also notes that while online social science is now widespread, challenges remain around access to social data and the ability to generalize findings over time and platforms.
My keynote at the Velocity Conference 2010. Why web operations and web performance optimization matter, and will matter more as technology evolves. Video of this talk is available at http://bit.ly/93J7d1
The document summarizes research in semantic search and its applications. It discusses the evolution of semantic search from early work on the semantic web to current applications using knowledge graphs. It outlines key challenges in semantic search like query understanding and how mobile search is driving new areas like conversational agents and task completion. The use of semantic representations and knowledge bases is helping to improve search quality and enable new interactive applications.
Making the Web Searchable - Keynote ICWE 2015Peter Mika
This document discusses making the web more searchable through semantic technologies. It begins with an overview of how web search currently works and its limitations, and then discusses how the semantic web aims to address these issues by adding explicit meaning and relationships between data on the web. It describes early skepticism of the semantic web from the information retrieval community and how it has become more practical over time. It also outlines research into semantic search done at Yahoo, including developing a knowledge graph and using semantic information to enhance search results. Finally, it discusses how semantic technologies are now being adopted more widely through efforts like schema.org.
A presentation by Daniel Lewis of the Open Knowledge Foundation.
Delivered at the Cataloguing and Indexing Group Scotland (CIGS) Linked Open Data (LOD) Conference which took place Fri 21 September 2012 at the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation.
The document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Laura James on open data and the Internet of Things. The key points are:
1) Open data can be freely used, reused, and redistributed by anyone for any purpose. The Open Knowledge Foundation builds tools to make working with open data and knowledge easier and helps people develop data skills.
2) While open data has benefits like innovation, personal data requires careful consideration regarding privacy, ownership, and risk before being made open. Most approaches to opening personal data are still immature.
3) The Internet of Things could help solve global problems, but open approaches are needed to ensure choice, transparency, and trust as physical systems become interconnected and collect more data about
This document summarizes a presentation about empowering people through open knowledge. It discusses how open data and open knowledge can be used by anyone to solve problems when information is made accessible, understandable and meaningful. Open data comes from many sources like government, companies and individuals and can be in many formats. The Open Knowledge Foundation builds tools to work with information, helps people learn data skills, and connects organizations working on open data projects. Open knowledge empowers people but also requires tools, communities and skills to access and use data effectively. Personal data also generates important open datasets when anonymized and aggregated but personal information requires careful consideration regarding privacy and control.
Kimberly Silk presented on data management and discovery at the Martin Prosperity Institute. The MPI collects large social science datasets from various common and authoritative sources to support research. To better organize their growing collection, the MPI implemented an open data discovery platform called Dataverse to catalog and provide access to their datasets. Open data initiatives aim to make certain government data freely available to the public, but also present challenges around data preparation, support, and responsiveness. Big data refers to extremely large datasets beyond the capabilities of typical database tools, and data visualization is an important way to communicate insights from data.
Joey Coleman - Building an Open Data Ecosystem for all to access#DevTO
How do we build open data so it is accessible to all citizens and not just those with specialized skills such as information management or coding? In Hamilton, municipal open data is being implemented because of advocacy among neighbourhood associations and community groups, not solely from the developer community, with the goal of ensuring all citizens can use open data. It’s a unique partnership – what does it mean for open data, open government, and civic engagement? Join this discussion as we explore the question.

The document discusses open data and app development. It defines open data as freely available non-personal data like statistics and reports published by the government. The UK government opened a data repository and required departments to publish data to increase transparency, reform the public sector, and provide economic and social benefits. This enabled developers to create apps using public data on topics like traffic accidents, schools, health services, and crime rates. The presentation encourages businesses to release their data, developers to build apps, users to demand apps, and all to advocate for more open data policies.
The document discusses the work of the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) in making knowledge open and accessible through open data initiatives. The OKF builds tools to work with open data, connects people and organizations, and provides training and resources through their School of Data. Open data has led to benefits like helping firefighters locate homes more easily and reducing infant mortality and improving health outcomes in Uganda. The OKF argues that open data can help solve global problems by giving choice, transparency, and allowing ideas to spread and scale more easily. They encourage people to get involved in helping create a more open knowledge society.
Did you know that, open data is a global movement reaching beyond government interest and contribution requiring the awareness and participation of information professionals (librarians)? This presentation is designed to understand the open data information community and creatively expand the library and information centres role in open data development.
The document discusses open data and its opportunities and challenges. It outlines how open data is made publicly available online in open formats and licenses. Open data can benefit various sectors like government, healthcare, science and charities. It allows for transparency, innovation and inclusion. The Open Data Institute aims to help organizations understand and use open data, and build skills and practices around open data. Charities are encouraged to explore how open data can help with activities like planning, evaluation, fundraising and collaborating with others.
Open data provides opportunities for transparency, innovation, and participatory governance. There are technical challenges to making data open, from simple formats to linked data. While open data is often implemented by volunteers and the public sector, its long term success requires involvement from commercial organizations who can analyze and add value to data at larger scales. Ensuring public interests are protected as more commercial actors become involved will also be important going forward.

Open Data For Journalists : How it works, why it mattersChris Taggart
Brief presentation give to Investigative Reporters & Editors NICAR conference, on why journalists need open data (with brief overview of OpenCorporates)
Data for Business Journalism, NICAR 2012Chris Taggart
The document discusses challenges with existing corporate data sources for journalists and introduces OpenCorporates as an alternative. OpenCorporates aims to create an entry for every corporate legal entity in the world based on official identifiers rather than proprietary IDs. It provides tools for journalists like simple search across multiple jurisdictions, additional linked data for entities, and reconciliation of company names to legal entities. The database is open and user-contributed, allowing searches by officer name. However, more work is still needed as coverage is not fully comprehensive.

OpenlyLocal & Open Local Data in the UKChris Taggart
The document discusses the development of OpenlyLocal, a project that aggregates and publishes local UK government data as open data. It summarizes that 18 months ago, little local data was available, but OpenlyLocal now scrapes data from over 150 council websites and combines it with other sources. This data, including information on councilors, meetings, and spending over £500, is now available under an open license. UK government is also increasingly committing to open data and a "Right to Data" at all levels.
This document discusses how open data could help save the public realm from becoming less powerful and irrelevant compared to private networks like Facebook and Tesco. It argues that open data can [1] open up the "black box" of government processes, [2] encourage complex networks of citizens and organizations to get involved instead of top-down hierarchies, and [3] make government more accountable. However, it also notes that open data is not a "silver bullet" and does not address issues like geography and physical infrastructure needs. The overall message is that open data gives the public sector a chance to stay relevant by becoming more open and networked rather than closed off and isolated.
Open local data: challenges and opportunitiesChris Taggart
The document discusses challenges and opportunities around open local data in the UK. It notes that while central government data has become more open, local data remains difficult to access and use. Local data is sporadically published, hosted on inaccessible council websites, and the legal status is unclear. Obtaining even basic information like councilor details and budgets can be challenging. The document advocates for more transparent and open local data to empower citizens and enable innovative uses of the data. It presents the OpenlyLocal project, which scrapes and standardizes local council data with the goal of making it freely available and usable.
Short presentation given to news::rewired conference in London, June 25, 2010.

Opening up local government data: APPSI PresentationChris Taggart
The document discusses opening up local government information by making it freely available and accessible. It argues that local government needs to be more transparent as trust in elected officials has decreased. It also argues that citizens have a right to access government data and expectations of transparency have increased. Currently, local council websites provide very basic information and do not make their data open and accessible for public use or for innovative local sites. The document advocates for a future where local data is openly available and part of the linked open data universe, enabling greater civic participation and accountability.

A message to the Israel’s and Palestinian's leaders.pdfSabry Shaheen
A message to the Israel’s and Palestinian's leaders
Achieving peace in Middle East
Hatred and injustice have resulted in destruction and atrocities.
Cultivating more hatred and injustice will result in more destruction and atrocities for generations.
Both Israelis and Palestinians have the right to live in peace in secured homes
We should support the Israel’s existence, but we should not support Israel’s injustice.
Israel might be reluctant to accept solutions based on UN resolutions or based on Christian or Islamic teachings, so we propose a solution based on the teachings of Judaism.
The Israeli–Palestinian conflict could be resolved if we refer to the religion teachings as taught by Moses.
The core of the issue is the inaccurate understanding that the Jews are the unconditionally chosen people of God; that is wrong according to the teachings of Moses like Exodus 19:5, Leviticus 18:4-5, Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 30:15-16 , and Deuteronomy 30:19, Deuteronomy 32:46-47
Those are the most reiterated and consistent teachings of Torah which teach that the choice of God and the blessings are conditional ‘blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience’
Moses did not teach that the Jews are the only chosen people; the correct definition of the chosen people of God as taught by Moses is an open invitation to each person to be a chosen son of God by obedience, by maintaining justice, by applying one measure or one law for Jews and Non-Jews, for taking care of the orphans, the widows, and the strangers
Jewish scholars do not teach the original teachings anymore; they teach the distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6 and Deuteronomy 7:6 in order to claim that God has chosen them regardless of the condition of obedience
Those claims were not taught by Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah, or by the Prophets; those prophets have warned of the wrong teachings
In order to resolve the conflict, it is necessary to follow the original teachings, to maintain justice and to have the same law for Jews and non-Jews as per the original Torah teachings Deuteronomy 25:13-16, Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 19:33-37, Leviticus 24:22, Numbers 15:15-16, Deuteronomy 24:14-15
To resolve the conflict, it is necessary to maintain Justice as taught by Moses and the Prophets; if any house or land is not sold to the Jews; then the old owner or his descendant must be fairly compensated
To resolve the conflict, it is necessary to use the same measure and the same law for Jew and non-Jew as taught by Moses and by the Prophets
Good Jewish teachers have a role to play; they can teach the original teachings instead of the distorted teachings
Good Muslim scholars have a role to play; they can explain the teachings that encourage forgiveness instead of revenge; they can teach the verses which encourage reconciliation and friendship
The most frequently used Hebrew word is Shalom; the most frequently used Arabic word is Salam; both words mean PEACE
Let's cook populism! A recipe from HungaryGábor Polyák
The presentation was the keynote speech of the Weizenbaum Institute's workshop Understanding Demecracy and Illiberal Communication. It shows what lessons from the Hungarian illiberal transformation are useful or threatening for other countries, and what lessons are unique to the Hungarian system.
Sources of Indian Constitution: "Bag of Borrowings"Gurjant Singh
The Indian Constitution is often referred to as a "Bag of Borrowings" because it draws from a wide array of sources and global practices to form its comprehensive framework. This eclectic approach enabled the framers to incorporate the best elements suited to India's unique socio-political context. Major influences include the Government of India Act, 1935, which provided the basic administrative structure; the British Constitution, which inspired the parliamentary system and rule of law; the U.S. Constitution, from which the concepts of fundamental rights and judicial review were adopted; the Irish Constitution, which influenced the Directive Principles of State Policy; and the Canadian Constitution, which shaped the federal structure with a strong central authority. Additionally, aspects like emergency provisions were inspired by the Weimar Constitution of Germany, and the idea of a concurrent list came from the Australian Constitution. This diverse borrowing has endowed the Indian Constitution with a balanced blend of flexibility and rigidity, ensuring it addresses the aspirations and needs of its people effectively.
Debates In Constituent Assembly: Seven Key Debates in India Constituent AssemblyGurjant Singh
The Constituent Assembly of India, formed in 1946, was responsible for drafting the Indian Constitution, and its debates were crucial in shaping the nation's democratic framework. Key debates in the Assembly covered a wide range of issues, including the structure of government, fundamental rights, and the balance of power between the central and state governments. Prominent discussions included the adoption of universal adult suffrage, the nature of the federal system, and the protection of minority rights. The Assembly also debated the incorporation of socio-economic rights, the language policy, and the role of the judiciary. These debates, led by visionary leaders like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Patel, were instrumental in forging a Constitution that aimed to uphold justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens.

6. why open data?
Do we still need to answer this question? Yes
7. Our lives are
governed by data...

10. The web is
no longer
just about
websites
And in the future
will be primarily
NOT websites
11. Information, when we
want it, where we want
it, how we want it
sensors, apps, api’s, offline...

12. The future is global
• How many UK search engines/social networks/
auction sites/location services are there?
• How many truly big British companies are there
(Dude, where’s my tax base?), and what is a
company anyway?
• Where does jurisdiction lie in a massively
connected world?
13. The future is local
• We live locally
• However much we are connected we are
intimately affected by local events, the local
environment, local crime and local culture
• Location still matters – just look at all the
internet business being based on it
• We don’t have just one ‘local’ – home, work,
holiday, where we grew up
14. In this world, open
data is the connection
that empowers
17. Democracy Data
Democracy
allowing different people
to read the same
arguments, hear the same
speeches, and then take a
different view

Democracy
allowing different people
to read the same allowing different people
arguments, hear the same to look at the same data
speeches, and then take a and come up with a
different view different perspective
23. Open data is...
relevance
Facebook vs the British govt
Tesco vs any council
BP vs any country
Government is becoming less powerful,
less relevant but by opening its data it
increases its relevance
24. Open data is...
new opportunities
Data owners (& not just govt ones) are
usually the last people to be able to see its
full potential. Data reusers bring a fresh
(and non-public sector) eye to the data
27. So, open data’s a
silver bullet?

28. There are no silver
bullets
• If there weren’t problems, we wouldn’t be
doing anything interesting
• We’ve now had local councils publishing
open data for over a year (kudos to
@pezholio and @londondatastore)
• Done some interesting experiments (Open
Election Data project)
• Can now identify some real & bogus problems
29. Open Data non
problems
• What if people misinterpret the data?
(c.f. What if people vote the ‘wrong’ way)
• What if nobody uses the data
(inevitable for some data, but even this is useful
feedback mechanism)
30. So where are the
problems?
Why is this still quite hard?
31. People & organisations
see it as a threat
(and it is if you are wedded to the status quo, or an
intermediary that doesn’t add anything)

Answer: the internet routes around
blockages; do the same.
Concentrate of getting things done rather than the proper
channels (& your citizens & frontline staff will thank you)
33. The data is messy –
e.g. tied up in PDFs,
Word documents, or
arbitrary web pages
34. The data is messy –
e.g. tied up in PDFs,
Word documents, or
arbitrary web pages
Answer: Don’t lose too much sleep over
it, but fix it for the future
38. The data is complex
Answer: publish internal explanations/
training info, and make available
people who understand it
(NB its complexity may be a sign that
the process is flawed, e.g. LAAs)
39. The data is proprietary
Answer: work with the supplier,
or else go public & make this a
reputational issue for them
(and so warn other potential clients)
40. The data contains
personal info
Answer: use FoI as a benchmark (e.g.
consultants have no protection),
balance the cost/benefit, and protect
vulnerable individuals
41. The data will expose
incompetence
Answer: Get over it, embrace the
increased information & use it to
do a better job (& get media buy-in)
42. The tools are poor and
data literacy in the
community is low
Answer: work with hyperlocal sites,
SMEs, schools and colleges to improve
this and work with the data (and build
closer links with the community)
46. TBL’s 5-stars of open data
make your stuff available on the
The essential steps
– do these first
Web (whatever format) under an
open licence
make it available as structured
data (e.g., Excel instead of image
scan of a table)
use non-proprietary formats (e.g.,
CSV instead of Excel)
do use URIs to identify things, so
these that people can point at your stuff
later link your data to other data to
provide context
47. Jumping in straight at
the deep end may
seriously damage
your sanity
and cost you money
