[open-government] Economic benefits of open data (> Measuring impact session at OGD Camp?)

Mon Nov 15 13:52:46 UTC 2010

For those of you interested in this topic, we will have two presentations on it at the 1 December Symposium on The Value of Shared Access and Reuse of Publicly Funded Scientific Data, one by an economist at the US Geological Survey and the other by the Director of SPARC (a library NGO focused on promoting open access). Info about the symposium may be found at www.nationalacademies.org/brdi<http://www.nationalacademies.org/brdi>. The meeting will be audiocast live and archived, and we will post the presentation slides and summary report soon after.

Hello David and all,

There are definitely some big methodological challenges in evidencing the impact of OGD initiatives. I've proposed a possible session on Measuring the Impact of OGD for the Camp later this week. Would be interested to know if there are others coming with an interest in research and evaluation of OGD that would make this session worthwhile (could try and secure a work session slot; or just set up a space for discussion in the street-market).

Proposal from http://opengovernmentdata.okfnpad.org/session-ideas below:

*                     Measuring the impact of open data

 *   Rationale: There have been a lot of posts on the open government data mailing list recently about evidence on the impact of open data; this session would give researchers, policy makers and others the chance to discuss existing measurement of open data impacts - and to explore shared agendas for tracking impact in future

 *   Proposed by Tim Davies (@timdavies)

All the best

Tim

Agreed - I'd like to see the source as well.

I know the Washington DC example is somewhat dubious. The quote comes from the CIO who simple added up the estimated hours spent by developers on the applications that were submitted to the contest. I think this conflates output value with input value... probably a number of other methodological challenges around this.

cheers,
dave

My guess would be the Danish example isn't in euro but Danish Kroner (divide by 7 to get Euro). From what I know from Danish efforts it is highly unlikely they've been spending millions, as they are doing it very bottom up, also within gov itself.

But as asked before:
Where do these numbers come from? Pointers?
