Es ist schon eine Weile her, bereits im Dezember 2007 trafen sich rund 30 OpenGovernment Experten um erste Prinzipien für “Open Government Data” zu formulieren. Gerade in ihrer Kürze und Schlichtheit finde ich sie aber immer noch eine gute Referenz. Auch hier fände ich eine Übersetzung ins Deutsche sehr hilfreich. Anyone?
December 2007, 30 open government advocates gathered to develop a set of principles of open government data. The meeting, held in Sebastopol, California, was designed to develop a more robust understanding of why open government data is essential to democracy.
The Internet is the public space of the modern world, and through it governments now have the opportunity to better understand the needs of their citizens and citizens may participate more fully in their government. Information becomes more valuable as it is shared, less valuable as it is hoarded. Open data promotes increased civil discourse, improved public welfare, and a more efficient use of public resources.
The group is offering a set of fundamental principles for open government data. By embracing the eight principles, governments of the world can become more effective, transparent, and relevant to our lives.
