Open scientific data online and offline
• Challenges of storing, sharing and citing datasets• Linking data to publications
• Connecting open data to software developer and civil society communities

Connecting: Software Developers
• machine-readable files ideally with well-supported software libraries for parsing the format(s)
• well-documented API• open license
• support & use platforms that provide the above
• hackathons to bring domain experts together with software developers
