[open-government] G7 Open Data Charter Action Plan Analysis

Mon Aug 4 08:44:37 UTC 2014

Hi James,

Thanks for sending the link. I have created a comparison of the datasets that are mentioned in the G8 Open Data Action Plans, which might be useful for your work:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gUSdhAuBDFo6g09j2sZFrnVtHY5p3CsQq0Wae-sJe14/edit?usp=sharing

The aim of this table is to show the datasets that are common across multiple G8 Action Plans. It provides an overview of datasets defined in the G8 Open Data Action Plans from UK, Japan, Canada, Russia, France, Italy, the U.S. and the EU (Germany's Action Plan not yet available). I've also included the Danish Basic Register datasets, and the datasets used by OKFN's Open Data census and the Web Foundation and ODI's Open Data Barometer for comparison. This comparison is based on my interpretation and may be incomplete. Different Action Plans define datasets at different levels of granularity, so comparing datasets was sometimes not like with like.

All comments are welcome.

Hi everyone,

I am James Chan, a summer visiting fellow working for Sunlight Foundation policy team. I have just published a two-part analysis following up on the development of the the G8 Open Data Charter and their subsequent action plans.

It is exciting to see the development of open data in the G7, but seems they need strong commitment towards free-of-charge data (and Germany has yet to released its plan).

Here are the articles:

Part 1: G8 Open Data Charter Action Plan: Open data by default, but you may have to pay

Part 2: What can we learn from the G8 Open Data Charter Action Plan?
http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/07/30/what-can-we-learn-from-the-g8-open-data-charter-action-plan/

Would be great if you can spread these articles around and feel free to let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Thank you so much!

Best,
James
