Open source refers to software that is free to use, modify, and share. It encourages collaboration as people share what they know through open communication and cooperation. Major technologies like Linux, Android, and Apache web server started as open source projects. Open data takes the open source principles and applies them to data by making content freely available for anyone to use and reuse, subject only to attribution requirements. Open data can accelerate the rate of discovery and better support communal activities by improving access to information.

34. Sponsors may not get full value of research unless the results are made freely available. The rate of discovery often accelerates with better access to data. Data access is often required for the operation of communal human activities Why should we create open data?
