It kinda looks mess but it will definitely work out

Because:● Openness is like Digital was in 1995● You're going to have to engage with it whether you

like it or not.

Its the fight for the soul of the InformationAge Cuz Open Knowledge means freedom.

What do we mean by open?

A piece of data or content is open if anyone is freeto use, reuse, and redistribute it — subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and/or share-alike” - http://opendefinition.org/

Open data involves ● the proactive disclosure of information; ● the Internet being the primary medium for such disclosure; ● information being made available for access and for re use free

of charge and;● information being made available in a machine-readable format

to enable computer-based re use.

Open Data

● Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency ● The Many Mind Principle - The best thing to do with your

data will be thought of by someone else.● Fixing is Faster with Open Data - To many eyes all bugs

are shallow.
