[euopendata] Open Data Manual + Open Data Hunt events...

Tue May 11 17:44:14 UTC 2010

Hi all,

Notes from today's call are available at:

  http://pad.okfn.org/okfn-euopendata

A couple of other things:

  1. We're starting work on an 'open data manual' pulling together
relevant bits and pieces we've worked on in the past (some links
available below). If anyone's interested in contributing - please say!

  2. We're starting to organise a series of Data Hunt events to add
details of (open) government datasets in different countries to
citizen-driven data catalogues. Again, if anyone wants to run one of
these or otherwise help out (or if you want help making a data
catalogue for your country!) - please say here, ping me or drop a note
as a comment on the blog post:

All the best,

This might be useful, which looks at various legal and technical aspects:

We're also starting work on a new Open Data Manual based on this and other work:

And we are going to cover similar ground in a forthcoming report on
Open Government Data:

And we've also got rawdatanow.com on the back burner, which we intend
to use for examples, stories and case studies around getting hold of
data in raw, machine-readable form. This will be aimed at the general
public, government departments who publish data, and so forth!

All the best,
