[okfn-discuss] protocols of open data, business models

[Ewan Klein]

Hi Gene,

> 2. What would a business model look like, or what exactly is a business model? Something that says how to make data open but how the people who make them open can still benefit?

It's worth noting that that Jeni Tennison of the Open Data Institute, as well as several other people, have been thinking and writing about open data business models for a while. There is a good overview article by Alex Howard:
