Open Government?
“If people don’t know what you’re doing, they don’t know what you’re doing wrong”
“Jim Hacker” Open Government (I980)

to people who don’t understand it…

people who think they do understand it…

people who despise it…

In Technical Terms
•I’m a Webservice –•Sitting between the Technical Teams and the Business Teams, translating and relating between them..•With Plenty of SOAP and REST....
Don’t bother me with your ideas now, I’ve got a job to do!

I live in Naas…
• NAAS– Network as a Service
• Used to be a Nice place to shop!

So far ICT has not fundamentally changed government
• 1990s: lCT expected to make government more transparent, efficient and user oriented
• 2005+: disillusion as bureaucracy still in existence
• Can Cloud Help?

Do We Understand What the Citizen Wants?

Yes, but its not always cohesive
![Page 15: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Why would government look at Open Data
![Page 18: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Where Next…Open Data
• What we are talking about is - • Government As A Platform?
![Page 21: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Open is forcing Radical Change With or Without the Owners / Shareholders
![Page 22: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It is all about the Data
2010 Spend on Spatial data and Software in the USA - IDC
![Page 23: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Issues• Data Harvesting
– How / Why does data get into your system– Position, accuracy, improvement.
• Data Management– How do we manage our data– Do we have to capture data more than once
• Geo Data– Costs of collection– Costs of Management
• Quality– Data Quality– If we can’t trust the data to Share it, how do we use it to make decisions?
![Page 24: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Data Standards
• Most Adopting Standards from their software Supplier.
• Have to move away from this position!• Open Standards
![Page 25: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What do we aspire to…Real Life Standards
![Page 26: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Where do we Start
• People• Places • Events • Photos• Articles / Reviews• Concepts• Comments
![Page 27: Tim w open data strategy 12th may 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54bc9b964a795995528b4645/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Its Hard for Governments to
experiment

Architecture Model for Open
Five level saturation model by Tim Berners-Lee ★ Available on the web (whatever format), but with an open
licence ★★ Available as machine-readable structured data (e.g. excel
instead of image scan of a table) ★★★ as (2) plus non-proprietary format (e.g. CSV instead of
excel) ★★★★ All the above plus, Use open standards from W3C (RDF
and SPARQL) to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff
★★★★★ All the above, plus: Link your data to other people’s data to provide context
