[open-government] working on the inside

Wed Oct 12 11:07:32 UTC 2011

Further suggestion: what about special use cases that can show the use and added value of open data? It should be something more than the usual cases like a time schedule for public traffic vehicles. More/also interesting would be to ask why open data could help coping with climate change.

What do you think?

Betreff: [open-government] working on the inside

Hello,

What do you think about these short talking points for an internal non-technical working meeting in the European Parliament?

 *   the EP should keep improving the quality of the data it makes available to the public, in particular with regards to time and date accuracy
 *   the EP should continue to ensure that data is made available in formats and through interfaces which enable free and easy access and processing of the data
 *   the EP should avoid investing in software and services which leads to "lock in" of citizens and risk the institution's vendor independence, also with respect to social media
Feedback very very welcome! (today....)

//Erik
