2. Definition of Open Data
Open data is data that can be freely used,
reused and redistributed by anyone - subject
only, at most, to the requirement to attribute
and sharealike.

4. The problem with Open Data (1)
“When released in its raw form, data is not open to
the public in any meaningful sense. It is only open
to a small elite of technical specialists who know
how to interpret and use it, as well as to those that
can afford to employ them. Providing open data
uncritically in this way is therefore likely only to
further advantage already privileged groups. There
is a real danger of adding a new “data divide” on
top of existing digital and economic divides.”

5. The problem with Open Data (2)
“that open data empowers those with access to
the basic infrastructure and the background
knowledge and skills to make use of the data for
specific ends”

6. The problem with Open Data (3)
“In my time working with the politicians and civil
servants, I’ve realised that success breeds
success: the best way to convince them to open
data is to show an open data project that’s
useful to real people. Not a catalogue or similar
tool aimed at insiders, but something that’s
making citizens, voters, constituents happy.
Then they’ll get it.”

7. The problem with Open Data (4)
“the data required to compile it is located in
different sections of hundreds of different council
websites. The information is presented in many
different formats and many different ways, and the
only way the information can be compiled for re-
use is manually - a laborious affair involving finding,
cutting and pasting lots of individual pieces of
information published by 433 different councils.”

8. The problem with Open Data (5)
• Navigation of the Open Data Web site
• Too many items of data
• Very little structure
• Very little sense of context
• No links between different data items
• Navigation problems
• Lack of visual clues
• How to decide if you have all data
• How can users solve real problems with the items of data?
• How to organize such a big amount of information after
download?

35. How can this type of navigation Mind
Map be generated?
• The portal creates an XML file containing the
information of the Web pages
• The Mind Map is generated by the proper
software processing the XML file
