Baby Boomers to Gen X to

Gen M• Socialization now occurs primarily online

for the age group 6 through 30

• Fastest growing user bases to Facebook?

– 276% growth in 35-54 year olds

– 194% growth in 55+ year olds

• More people met their spouse online than

through work or friends—combined (the

numbers double for 45-54 year olds)

Reality is nothing but

an illusion...

albeit a persistent one

Maximum Flow of

Information and Knowledge• YouTube is now second largest search

engine in the world

• 1.5 million pieces of content shared daily on Facebook

• On-line newspaper readers are up 30%

• 250 million visitors each month to YouTube and Facebook

• Mobile devices will be world’s primary connection tool to the Internet in 2020

21

As big an issue outside your

organization as within it

Open Government Initiative

• Transparency promotes accountability

• Participation allows people to contribute ideas

• Collaboration encourages cooperation within government and with industry

22

Creating a Data Ecosystem

1. Gather data

– from many places and give it freely to

developers, scientists, and citizens

2. Connect the community

– in finding solutions to allow collaboration

through social media, events, platforms

3. Provide an infrastructure

– built on standards

4. Encourage technology developers

– to create apps, maps, and visualizations

of data that empower people’s choices

5. Gather more data

– and connect more people

“A Strategy for American

Innovation” published

September 2009

US Open Government Action Plan

• On 20 September 2011, President Obama

announced at the UN General Assembly…

• Contribute Data.gov as a platform

– India and the U.S. creating open source platform

– Will allow any country to create open data site

• Foster communities on Data.gov

– Health, energy, and law plus new communities in

education, research and development, and public

safety

• Launch International Space Apps Competition

– NASA and other space agencies will gather

scientists and citizens

– Use data for global challenges: weather impacts on

global economy and depletion of ocean resources

– A collaboration website will be created to facilitate

citizen participation

24

Data.gov

• Provides instant access to over 400,000 datasets in easy to use formats

• Contributions from UN, World Bank, and 172 agencies

• Encourage development of innovative applications

• Drive innovation and knowledge use across the globe

People Make Data Valuable

• A platform for engagement– A rich social experience around data

that promotes participation and gives people a voice

– Provide ratings and comments that can be shared over social media

– Recommend datasets and participate in communities

– Powerful visualizations

– Create a filtered view, a map, or a chart that represents what they’re interested in

29

• Provides developers the tools and raw data formats to develop new capabilities

• Partnership with W3C (eGovInterest Group) and with RPI for research in semantic web

• Connected to other open data efforts across the world

• Data hosted in the cloud

• Open source platform

• Builds on ontologies developed in specific areas

Powered Through Advanced Technologies

Achieving Global Leadership in Open Government Data

Green = government Blue = external stakeholders

Funding will drive ability

to reach these goals

• Search• Dataset access• Communities• Geodata visualization

• Cloud-hosted data• Semantic

Open Data for the Economy

• When the Department of

Defense released satellite

data…private industry created

affordable GPS devices

• Data from NOAA (National

Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration) helped build

weather-related business

• Opportunities for private sector

are limitless

35

Publicizing Data to Innovators

36

• Challenges and code‐a-

thons

(health2challenge.org)

• Many innovator “meetups”

and conferences

• Annual health data-

paloozas

• Over 139 applications

• 50 new businesses

• Thousands of lives

improved each day

Creating Apps That Improve Lives: Asthmapolis

37

Creating Apps That Save Lives: iTriage and Hospital Compare

38

Creating Apps That Change Lives: Eat Your Vegetables and Food Deserts

39

• Eat Your Vegetables uses

Health and Human Services

community health data and

shows obesity rates by county

• Food Deserts shows areas with

a lack of access to fresh food

• Combined can inform cities and

citizens how to change their

behavior

• Games like Hungry Hiker helps

kids make better choices

– Apps for Healthy Kids

sponsored by First Lady

Michelle Obama

Use Case: Economic

• Healthtap

– Provides free, reliable, and independent health information through the use of open data and by building the world’s largest medical expert network tailored for young mothers and their children

– Won 2010 Health 2.0 challenge

– Success invigorated expansion and new hiring at HealthTap

– Reaches to Data.gov datasets (along with others)

40

Real Outcomes = Better Lives

• The data delivered through the 172 agencies participating in Data.gov eases the burden on families in caring for a sick child or seeking medical information

• More importantly, the data as it’s aggregated empowers communities to make changes that improve the quality of life of citizens

– ReLeaf plants trees in areas identified by Together We Breathe as danger areas for asthma sufferers

– Cities see hot spots that trigger asthma problems for their citizens

• Each company in Health 2.0 used government data to innovate and create high-value jobs here in America

The Path Ahead

• Bring data up and out of government to the public ★

• Make data accessible and linked ★★★★★

• Provide simple ways to visualize the data

• Create communities to understand and apply data

• Connect and collaborate with small businesses, industry, and academia to drive innovation

• Develop open source open government data platform with India for global use and further community development

• Share with others to understand global issues

Be the change you want to see in the world– Ghandi
