Open Data Landscape and Open Data 500
Open Data: Accessible, public data that people, companies, and organizations can use to launch new ventures, analyze patterns and trends, make data-driven decisions, and solve complex problems.
The GovLab’s Central Hypothesis
When governments and institutions open themselves to diverse participation and collaborative problem-solving, and partner with citizens to make decisions, they are more effective and legitimate.

Open Data Roundtables: Building on the OD500

Approaches for Developing Economies
“The commercial value of open data remains untapped . . . in developing countries.”
Prasanna Lal Das, The World Bank
• Availability of good Open Data is a major limitation
• But: Mobile access is ubiquitous• Information can be presented by phone, not
laptop• Government Open Data can be supplemented by
expert research or crowdsourcing
The Data-for-Development Dilemma
Improved information access and better communication channels for small-scale farmers and agricultural workers through their mobile phone via voice messages and SMS
