Heute möchte ich mal eine kleine neue Sache Ausprobieren, und zwar eine kleine Open Data Linkliste. In den letzten Wochen haben sich ein paar Artikel angesammelt, die ich ganz interessant fand und die ich euch zur Verfügung stellen wollte. Einige davon unterliegen leider einem Copyright, so dass Sie nicht eins zu eins hier veröffentlicht werden können, bei anderen hatte ich einfach keine Zeit. Falls euch noch Links fehlen oder ihr neue spannende Dinge findent schreibt sie doch in die Kommentare oder ins Wiki.
Analysis: this government is open to scrutiny:
Knowledge is power, said the politician and philosopher Francis Bacon. Today we live in the information age, and today information can be power too.
How Open Data Applications are Improving Government:
Open data is the big trend these days when people talk about “Government 2.0.” In reality, the open data movement has just begun, with governments finally starting to release dataen massein an effort to promote transparency.

Tom Steinberg (mysociety.org) to Advise new UK Government on Transparency:
I will chair a new Transparency Board, which will include experts, including perhaps the Government’s greatest critic when it comes to transparency, Tom Steinberg. Based at the heart of government in the Cabinet Office, we’ll be listening to what the public want and making sure they get the information they ask for wherever humanly possible.
One of the key aspects of the emergingInternet of Things- where real-world objects are connected to the Internet – is the massive amount of new data on the Web that will result. As more and more “things” in the world are connected to the Internet, it follows that more data will be uploaded to and downloaded from the cloud. And this is in addition to the burgeoning amount of user-generated content – which has increased 15-fold over the past few years,according toa presentationthatGoogleVP Marissa Mayer made last August at Xerox PARC. Mayer said during her presentation that this “data explosion is bigger than Moore’s law.”
Open data? Fine. But available isn’t accessible:
Technology has become ubiquitous, a potential our society is rather ignoring at the moment. Think about it.
We spend most of our work day in front of a screen, some of our friends never stop to Twitter, most of them check their emails on their blackberry even when drunk, and now we grab the iPad on the weekend in our leisure time. But what does it really mean for our societies to be surrounded by this new digital technology? What chances lie there in being surrounded by computers? This is a question, we barely think about. Not good. At the moment, we can see some serious potential we are about to miss.
Accountability, better services and economic opportunity:
The promise of government accountability, better government services, and new economic opportunity is why we do what we do.
