New PSI-directivewill open a lot more governmental data sets in EU
Belgium is late, but almost there too…with an ‘open by default’ policy!
Belgium
The new European Directive on the re-use of public sector information had to be adopted by all EU member states prior to July 2015…
New European directive
A lot of extra data sets are expected to open soon economical, demographics, labour statistics, budgets & actuals, transport data, legal info…
Extra data sets
Data Value Chain
Open data is any content or info that people are free to use, re-use and redistribute — without any legal, technological or social restriction
(transport time tables, company info, weather data, real estate ledgers,
case law publications..)
Public Data
Publically accessible data from websites, social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Swarm/Foursquare
), blogs (Drupal, WP), news feeds, product feeds (ecommerce) and
more. Re-use is often not formalisedand implicit…
Closed Data
Authentication/secured access is required to use proprietary corporate
data (marketing campaigns, customers, suppliers, accounting,
transactions, projects) personal data (residence, healthcare, genes, sexual
orientation, religion, birth date) or device data (IoT, sensors)
Unlock value in data economy
2 data flow types:
Create value by mashing up data sets
Open Data + Public Data + Closed Data= holy data grail
• Static vs Dynamic• Structured vs Unstructured
Move up the value chainReverse trend of declining prices with big (open) data
Move up the information ladder by asking users for input
Combine, correlate and improve quality of data sets
Bring new value from raw (open) data sets
Visualise in new ways
Mine deeper to dig out “insights” (not just basic statistics)
Any company can now run its “own Google”
Add value by features
