[open-government] Fwd: Internal Open Data Guidebook from City of Philadelphia

Thu Feb 28 17:48:45 UTC 2013

Hi,

I am currently sitting in a Collaboratory meeting in Berlin (Collaboratory.de<http://Collaboratory.de>). We are wondering about creating a concrete use case for open gov. From our point of view it makes sense to use the planned EU/US trade agreement for such a use case. That agreement is going to weaken the rights of consumers, Internet users and citizens in Europe. The main reason for that weakening is the lack of transparency of the decision making process. We want to engage for more participation and open gov in that process and will analyze the decisions regarding genetic modified food, Internet rights and working conditions.

It's the beginning of our project. If you have any questions or comments please let us know.

Best

Ole Wintermann

New internal Open Data Guidebook from the City of Philadelphia:

Here's some background information:

At a glance I can't see any mention of licensing or legal openness. Given this isn't Federal government where one might argue that public data is free of copyright by default (though still spelling this out is very useful), it definitely seems like there should be an explicit open license/legal tool compliant with OpenDefinition.org<http://OpenDefinition.org>, no?
