This morning…

“Currently,

Open Data is a failure”

Is Open Data the best solution?

The hard reality: BUILDING OPEN DATA SERVICES IS,

STILL, A PAIN

REASONS/COMMENTS:

#1: “We need more data opened”.

#2: “Open the Data is expensive”.

#3: “The Law don’t enforce me to open data”.

#4: “The open data quality is so low”.

#5: “Governments open data that we don’t want”.

#6: “We need all data, we don’t want only the ‘cooked’ data”.

#7: “We need to homogenize all open data offer”.

#8: “From close data to open data… but in silos”.

#9: “I don’t know what the hell license is applicable”.

#10: “I have a strong distrust towards the government”. Etc. Source: http://www.caldocasero.es/2013/09/por-que-no-se-reutilizan-los-datos.html

A real case…

• Opening data?

• Collaborating with 3rd parties in co-create

public services?

• Squeezing your brain in order to have

more public services with less budget?

• Developing a control layer to manage the

access to your internal systems?

• Thinking how to harmonize the access of

your systems?

Are you a government that is...

• Using open data?

• Developing services that use public data?

• Squeezing your brain in order to have

more customers with less budget?

• Developing only once without increasing

costs?

• Thinking how to harmonize the access of

your systems?

Information Systems and offer them to third parties to

• Governments: that want go further in open data

and want co-create services with third parties.

• Managers of Information Systems: That are

opening up processes and want to foster their

use, but want to control this access.

• Developers (SME): That want to create new

services and need the access to public IT

infrastructures.

What is the iCity target?

• Opening your system without doing any

additional action.

• Controlling the access of your system.

• Developing using standards.

• Developing only once… you reach a lot,

(iCity ecosystem).

• It’s a “neutral” service.

• It’s not only for public systems.

• Providing more services to citizenship.
