[okfn-be] Desired feedback on datasets

Tue Feb 21 14:53:09 UTC 2012

Dear all,

Related to my latest research topic on Open Government Data publishing I am
putting together a small survey on the desired feedback of Open Data sets.
For governments, the return on releasing data is incredibly valuable. This
can be split up into two parts: 

1.       Data usage (where?, by who?, how?, for what?, in which form?,...)

2.       Crowd sourced elaboration (validation, correction, addition,.)

My questions: 

A.      Does anybody know some more or concrete examples of desired feedback
by governments?

B.      Does anybody know examples of statistical analysis governments would
like to perform on this feedback?

C.      Concerning crowd sourced elaboration, what do governments (would
like to) do with this feedback? What would be the concrete result?

Any comment is of course welcome, in particular from the government point of
view!

Kind regards,
