What are we talking about?
“[…] Open data, especially open government data, is a tremendous

Inclusion of new data providers
(Formal) standardization of the meta data structure, in consideration of international developments

Lessons learned – up to now…
There is a lot more than we know: Many things are already being tried out in individual projects. Include the experts!
A lot more works than we can imagine: Technical and legal obstacles are in most cases lower than expected.

Lessons learned – up to now…
There a lot of civil servants, whole municipalities etc. who are really interested in Open Data – and just don’t know how to start!
Some advice and a few fundamental “standards” or recommendations help them to find their way.

Lessons learned – up to now…
For all the others: The mindset and culture have to be changed for a comprehensive change.
It’s a long way to go from the principle „Everything is secret, unless…“ to the principle “Everything is open, unless…“.
