This document discusses open data and IBM's involvement. Open data refers to data that is freely available with no restrictions. It is used for transparency, cost efficiency, and economic innovation. Governments and private organizations are making data openly available. IBM works with cities to develop open data portals and uses open data in projects to improve traffic, transportation, and more. The growth of open data creates new business opportunities and Dublinked is highlighted as a catalyst for innovation in Dublin.
