[okfn-discuss] Is there a catalog of Open Data Applications

Wed Oct 23 14:48:39 UTC 2013

Github has created a specialized repository of Open Government applications.
See http://government.github.com.  I don’t see the Taiwanese apps on there
yet.

Regards,

Marc

Maybe it's still far from what you want, but here're two lists which could
be helpful:

All the apps developed by City Government of Taipei (before mid-2012):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhiwX2rqs8dzdDVHXy14T0ZDMmVoTWZ
SYUlpVWVrRFE
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhiwX2rqs8dzdDVHXy14T0ZDMmVoTW
ZSYUlpVWVrRFE&usp=drive_web#gid=1> &usp=drive_web#gid=1

And quite a few by the Taiwanese government:

Thanks all for your reply

It seems I asked the question in a wrong way. Let me re-phrase it a bit.

In fact, I know some resources mentioned above to locate specific examples.
Here, I'm actually not talking about locating one example to illustrate the
idea of open data but I'm asking whether there is single one-stop site I
could just visit and get the example I need rather than searching different
places to find the right example.  

Moreover, it could be just beyond finding an example. I'm thinking about
comparing different app solutions that use the same type of dataset. For
instance, how different apps use the crime data? e.g. a map of crime data v.
s. a visualization of crime statistics. what kinds of data are mixed with
crime data to create new services?  what kinds of impacts they've made? 

Also, it could be interesting to monitor the usage of open data and provide
the statistics. Since if data is not used, data is then useless. We need not
just to monitor how many datasets are opened but also monitor how many of
them are actually used and how they are used. 

It could also be interesting to help citizens to show the gov a concrete
example and tell them why they should open a specific dataset because there
is one example showing the tech solution and already made good
social/economic impacts

what do you think? is this something worthy to do if it does not exist?

thanks,

Feng

Hi Feng,

The LinkedUp Project is running a series of three consecutive competitions
looking for interesting and innovative tools and applications that analyse
and/or integrate open web data for educational purposes.

The 22 open data applications from the first competition are listed online:
http://linkedup-challenge.org/veni.html

There will be more to come!

Thanks

Marieke

HI Feng, I have a few places for you to search (See below). It would help us
if you could provide specific types of issues that people would like to see
technical solutions address.  There are likely some examples globally. (eg.
extraction, water tracking, etc.)

Examples from the various World Bank apps challenges:

http://data.worldbank.org/apps  and http://appsfordevelopment.challengepost.
com/

I think that the city reps from the various Open Data Days might be on this
list. See the Open Data Day wiki:
http://wiki.opendataday.org/2013/City_Events

Code for America:
http://www.codeforamerica.org/apps/

With Random Hacks of Kindness, there were also a few examples:
http://www.rhok.org/ (check the blog)

The Space Apps challenge also has a few great examples:

http://spaceappschallenge.org/

One thing that I have yet to see (a big dream), is a master search across
all the events and github for these examples. I agree that is a gap. 

Happy hunting, 

Heather

Hi, all:

When i talk about open data  in China, I'm always asked to show people
different kinds of open data applications, which use the dataset those
people are interested in. So I'm wondering whether there is any
catalog/database/project collecting applications built upon open data? 

thanks,

Feng
