Open Government Data is a worldwide movement to open data (& information) of the government / public administration* - that is NOT personal (individual related) – in human- AND maschine-readable open (non proprietary) formats for re-use (by civil society, economy, media, academia AND politics & public administration itsself)!

OPEN stands for lowering the barriers to ensure as broad as possible re-use (for everybody)!

There is a new paradigm in publishing Open Government Data

= look, take and play!

* ….. data and information produced or commissioned by government or government controlled entities

1. CompletenessAll public data are made available. Public data are data that are not subject to valid privacy, security

or privilege limitations, as governed by other statutes. 2. PrimacyData are published as collected at the source, with the finest possible level of granularity, not in

aggregate or modified forms. 3. TimelinessData are made available as quickly as necessary to preserve the value of the data. 4. Ease of Physical and Electronic Access Data are available to the widest range of users for the widest range of purposes. 5. Machine readabilityData are reasonably structured to allow automated processing of it. 6. Non-discrimination Data are available to anyone, with no requirement of registration. 7. Use of Commonly Owned Standards (e.g. open formats) Data are available in a format over which no entity has exclusive control. 8. LicensingData are not subject to any copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret regulation. Reasonable

privacy, security and privilege restrictions may be allowed as governed by other statutes.

Finally, compliance must be reviewable.

OGD Serie 2010 - 2011

•Partly financed by City of Vienna•Duration: 09/2010 – 07/2011•Organised by SWC

Partners of OGD2011•Danube University Krems•KDZ-Centre for Public Administration•Open3 initiative•Joanneum Research•OGD Austria / OKFO / OKFN, UK•FP7 projects: LOD2 & LATC•futurezone & Computerwelt

The project OGD2011 contains 3 contemplementary packages of measures:

•in 4 stakeholder workshops (politics, administration, society, industry) the respective requirements will be evaluated and discussed,

•These requirements will be presented and discussed at the OGD2011 conference in June 2011 in Vienna.

•The results will be published in the OGD White Book 2011 (August 2011) as a first fundamental publication on the topic of Open Data in Austria

Most important statements (overview)

•Step-wise approach (& thereby learn about OGD)•Cross section work: BLSG•Committment on highest political level needed•Changes in existing laws needed•Single Point of Access for Austria needed•EU standards & processes - track & follow!•Austria is poor in natural ressources – OGD is enabling innovation –regional economical promotion•Guidelines for public sector needed•Question economical impact•Dataset by dataset needs to be checked•Media Literacy needs to be supported •What data could be gathered additionally
