Economic Value of Open Data
Open Gov Data in EU would increase
business activity by up to €40 bn/year
EU Direct & indirect benefits up to €140
bn/year (0.7% of GDP)

All economic analysis and case studies
point the same way

Open Data improving public services

clinical outcomes reduced deaths by 1000 a year
1000s of apps delivering public transport information
in the United States – 68 in New York alone
UK released data on location of 300,000 bus-stops;
OpenStreetMap corrected 18,000 of them, improving
official data accuracy.
Sharing Open Data within public agencies in
Manchester (city of 2.6m people) saves US$14m/yr
Open Data on public agency purchasing has allowed
a “whole of government” view to get best prices and
performance from key suppliers

Some Challenges
39
Everyone thinks that they are an exception
It’s held separately by n different organisations, and we can’t join it up
It will make people angry and scared without helping them
It is technically impossible
We do not own the data
The data is just too large to be published and used
Our website cannot hold files this large
We know the data is wrong
We know the data is wrong, and people will tell us where it is wrong
We know the data is wrong, and we will waste valuable resources
inputting the corrections people send us
People will draw superficial conclusions from the data without
understanding the wider picture
People will construct league tables from it
It will generate more Freedom of Information requests
It will cost too much to put it into a standard format
It will distort the market
Our IT suppliers will charge us a fortune to do an ad hoc extract
40
Release data people want
41
Ensuring reusability as well as accessibility
42
When Open is not Open
43
“You shall not use the data made
available through the GC Open Data
Portal in any way which, in the opinion
of Canada, may bring disrepute to or
prejudice the reputation of Canada.”
Common standard for common things
