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

Wed Jun 3 08:47:23 UTC 2015

Dear Carlos,

I appreciate that you have limited resources and tight timelines. However,
a credible research project should have a solid and coherent methodology
for sampling and analysis; otherwise, you'll just be cherry picking
examples and this can be riskily political.

As said, there are a diverse range of exciting open data activities and
policy development in Taiwan. Many Taiwanese are involved in national as
well as international open data projects. I don't think a truly global Open
Data Barometer can be considered as complete without the inclusion of
Taiwan.

Perhaps for now you can illustrate your methodology for sampling and why
you think the already selected countries are representative?

Cheers.

Best wishes,
Yuwei
