“Open data shouldn't only be
accessible to software developers, statisticians and accountants.
As more and more open public data is released, we need to find ways to
make sure it is useful for people
who want to make a difference in

Today we aim to
• demonstrate practical achievements and challenges – What we can we do with Open Data– Why we need Open Data
• explore the possibilities, legalities and technical skills needed in using Open Data under two broad themes: – the challenges faced by government in making
