[okfn-br] Fwd: [ogp] Help us build an evidence base on the social impact of open data!

Terça Janeiro 27 17:42:23 UTC 2015

Post extremamente interessante. Especialmente o artigo sobre a Hungria,
http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/10/16/is-ogp-vouching-for-hungary.
Dados abertos não pode virar mero marketing para governos corruptos ou
autoritários. Deve ser algo auxiliar ao trabalho histórico, paulatino, de
abertura governamental à sociedade e construção da participação social.
Como auferir o impacto real de dados abertos?
