[open-government] Research project on the applicability of open data - UK/FIN

Wed Sep 21 12:14:59 UTC 2011

Dear all,

The Finnish Institute in London (http://www.finnish-institute.org.uk) is 
launching a research project on the UK open data policies and more 
precisely on the applicability of open data. We aim to analyse how the 
existing policies and licensing support the applicability of data and 
also in which application areas the exploitation of data has proved to 
be most beneficial.

At the moment we are creating a network of interviewees and other 
potential partners from the UK open data community. In terms of our 
research, we are particularly interested in how different constituents 
of the community (public sector organisations, politicians, hackers, 
journalists, academics etc etc) perceive the status quo: their 
experiences on problems and benefits and also expectations on which 
direction the discussion on open data and open data policies should be 
steered in the future.

If any of you would be interested in being interviewed or collaborating 
in any other way, please don't hesitate to contact me at 
antti.halonen at finnish-institute.org.uk for more details.

Kind regards,
Antti Halonen
