[okfn-be] Open Data Barometer for Belgium

Fri Aug 30 09:52:21 UTC 2013

Dear members of the OKF Belgium,

I am a board member of the OKF France local group and also doing my thesis
on open data. Currently I am also a researcher for the Open Data
Barometer<http://www.opendataresearch.org/project/2013/odb>led by the
World
Wide Web Foundation <http://www.webfoundation.org/> and I am in charge of
stuyding open data in Belgium. The Open Data Barometer is being carried out
in more than 80 diverse countries around the world, and involves an expert
survey that will be combined with other existing indicator datasets.

This survey needs the help as your expertise would allow me to fill some
questions I cannot get answers without your kind help. Here are some
questions for which I would need your help :

*1) Do you know if any civil society organisations have released open data?
*
*
*
*2) What companies release open data in Belgium? *
*
*
*3) Do you know cases in which open data had an impact on: *
*          * government accountability
          * increasing efficiency of government*
*          * environmental sustainability *
*          * the inclusion of marginalised groups *
*          * the economy*
*          * the creation of new businesses in the country?*

Please note that unless otherwise agreed, any information you provide may
be included in their survey responses with you or your organisation
attributed as a source for this information. Edited responses from these
surveys will be published alongside the final Open Data Barometer,
including details of the sources.

I would really appreciate if you could send me your response, even partial,
as soon as possible. The deadline for this study is next Monday. Do not
hesitate to reply to just one question or give me just a link, any help is
more than welcome.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks again for you kind help.

Best

Samuel
