[open-government] Call for researchers for the 3rd edition of the Open Data Barometer

Tue Jun 2 20:41:12 UTC 2015

Dear Dongpo,

First of all, thank you for your feedback and interest on the Open Data
Barometer.

In an ideal case, the Barometer might be covering all existing countries
but, unfortunately, and as in any other project, the available resources
and timelines impose also some limitations with respect to world
coverage. For every new edition of the Barometer we try to cover as much as
possible, keeping a fair balance between the different world regions as
well. This new edition we continue to keep increasing the countries
coverage, nevertheless we know that we may still leaving behind some
countries where open data has already some presence as it could be the case
of Taiwan.

Unfortunately, the list of countries for this edition is already complete,
although our expectations are to keep improving the Barometer and continue
to deep and broad it. In any case, we will try to analyse and discuss this
specific case, but we are also somehow limited by the available support and
resources as every year.

We are really grateful for your suggestion and hope also we all could be
seeing much more countries, including Taiwan, being finally included in the
Barometer.

All best wishes,
 CI.
