Open data landscape

DefinitionsBusiness intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information for business purposes.

Big Data is a blanket term for any collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.

Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.

Transparency – (UK) a pledge to make government more open with the objectives to strengthen public accountability, support public service improvement by generating more comparative data and increasing user choice; and stimulate wider economic growth by helping third-parties to develop products and services based on public sector information.

Data-Analytics – a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modelling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. A further development of traditional analysis approaches.

Digital Transformation – redesigning digital services to save money and put people’s needs first, and respond to increasing expectations of the public for quick and convenient services.
