[open-government] working on the inside

[Mitton, David]

I have to agree with you. 

There are two main prerequisites openly accepted for establishing an Open Data policy: 
a) high availability of the data, preferably in formats that are both human and machine friendly and 
b) openness, meaning allowing reuse of the data for all purposes and with no restrictions.

I would simply ask, as a new member of the forum, if these prerequisites are aligned to any national, international or forum led social and economical objectives?

I know, nevertheless could it be an important question for what purpose the data could be used in practice. It seems to me that we often have the opinion that it is enough just to have this data. But maybe I am not deep enough engaged in that discussion.

that this is a misunderstanding. (i think) erik talks about the data the EP produces,
legislative data.
