[..] I could have certainly done more,
especially regarding the statistical
aspects, however, in our country both
private and non-profit organizations show
reluctance relying on public domain for
data and content [...]

Governments still treat open data as a side
project:
The Barometer results show that governments are still treating
open data as isolated initiatives. Governments must prioritise
and invest in open data governance to support the substantial
changes needed to embed an open approach across agencies
and departments.

The as-yet hidden but
dramatic success of
open data has been a
transformation of public
officials’ attitude toward
data

relatively short period of
time.
