LAUNCHING THE OPEN DATA 500How Companies Put Open Data to Work
Joel Gurin, Senior Advisor and Project Director, OD500@joelgurin
April 8, 2014, Washington, DC

The GovLab’s Central Hypothesis
When governments and institutions open
themselves to diverse participation and
collaborative problem-solving, and partner
with citizens to make decisions, they are
more effective and legitimate.

The GovLab’s Approach
We study three paradigms for improving
governance:
1. Getting Knowledge and Expertise In
2. Sharing Responsibility
3. Getting Open Data Out
![Page 4: Launching the Open Data 500](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55d5288cbb61ebf6498b45ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Open Data: Accessible, public data that
people, companies, and organizations can
use to launch new ventures, analyze
patterns and trends, make data-driven
decisions, and solve complex problems.

Companies Meet Agencies: The Open Data Compass
![Page 26: Launching the Open Data 500](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55d5288cbb61ebf6498b45ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Roundtables

The Agenda for Discussion
• Inventory of datasets. What are the areas of greatest interest?
• Priorities for improving open datasets. Which ones are most important to business use, and what is needed to make them more accurate, complete, and actionable?
• Potential to open new datasets. Which would be most valuable if they were opened for business and public use?
• New data collection. What should we consider adding over the long term?
![Page 28: Launching the Open Data 500](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/55d5288cbb61ebf6498b45ab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Outcomes for Roundtables
• Dataset inventories focused on business value. • Prioritization of the open government datasets in
each agency for business use. • Plans to improve data release from each agency
over six to twelve months. • Public reports of the results of each roundtable,
prepared by the GovLab.• Celebrating the wins: Visibility for the successes
made possible by agencies’ data. • Continued public/private collaboration.
