Organisational Setting
• Administrative steering power by municipal directorate
• De-facto independent departments with broad scope for action, limited co-operation
• Virtual OGD-department: ICT, PR, Economy, labour & statistics, data protection, land survey
• Departments required to nominate OGD responsible
• Central register coordinator to harmonize cross-department data structures and statistic methodologies
• Priorization according to OGD process model

Results: Department voices
• Motivation: Employees see the value of their doing by public appreciation (feedback and applications)
• Poor men’s information management by using the OGD portal.
• Quality assurance by back-reported mistakes• Potential for harmonised data-basis• Increased effort by format conversions, personnel
effort highly dependent on existing ICT-infrastructure
• No measurable change of public contacts

Results: External stakeholder voices
• Citizens: legal embedding of OGD, „How-To’s“ What can be done with data?
• Business: OGD cheap and additional resource used upon business requests– BUT missing data harmonization complicates cross-sector data
comparison
• Academia: accessible high quality-data for analysis and visualisation
• Journalists: Potential for revelations– BUT insufficient technical & statistical expertise
• App-devs: Interested in technical challenges, very limited business incentives– BUT better back-channels to data-responsibles for inquires

Results: Evaluation study – key findings
• Good– Reusing what is available (CMS instead CKAN)– Unambiguous organizational setting with
established monitoring processes
• Fair– OGD public relations – Subsidy schemes take OGD into account
• Potential– Integrate OGD into OG measures, raise political
awareness– Central ICT message bus and data storage

Recommendations – local authority / administration
• OGD as an infrastructure requires novel re-financing – departments shall not be punished for opening up their data
• Data harmonisation• Department-spanning data bus• Stakeholder-oriented PR and
development initiatives

Recommendationsgovernment / political layer
• From OGD portal to OG platform: OGD as an integral part for Open Government
• Subsidies according to seed funding methodologies: from idea to implementation

Recommendations - federal layer
• Make open the default: prepare for FOI
• CC-BY (or comparable License) as default of public funding schemes
• Elements of „school of data“ in schools and university curricula
• Get business (chambers of commerce) on the OD-board

Workshop results
• Groundwork not yet finished: diverse knowledge of what comprises OGD– Big Data, Personnel data, Computer
surveillance mentioned in the same vein as Open Government Data!
• BUT: Double as many ideas for publication of new data sets identified during the workshop than risks and threats!
