Transcript of Open Knowledge Foundation / Open Data Day 2015, Kathmandu, Nepal
The Open Knowledge Foundation
lWe are a global network using advocacy and technology to open
up knowledge and see it used to empower citizens and
organizations to drive positive change.
lWe build tools and communities to create, use and share open
knowledge - content and data that everyone can use, share and
build on.
lWe believe that by creating an open knowledge commons and
developing tools and communities around this we can make a
significant contribution to improving governance, research and
the economy
“A piece of data or content is open if anyone is free to
use, reuse, and redistribute it — subject only, at most,
to the requirement to attribute and/or share-alike”

What is Open Data?
Open data involves
lThe proactive disclosure of information;
lThe Internet being the primary medium for such
disclosure;
lInformation being made available for access and for
reuse free of charge and;
lInformation being made available in a machine-
readable format to enable computer-based re use.
Why Open Data?
lInnovation, Efficiency and Transparency
lThe Many Mind Principle - The best thing to do with
your data will be thought of by someone else
lFixing is Faster with Open Data - To many eyes all bugs
are shallow
