Abstract
This article reports on the diversity of the second cohort of open data leaders, who spent a week together at the Open Data Institute (ODI). Different ways of articulating problems help to clarify what the problem is, which can then be followed with diverse approaches and useful solutions. Pumping out volumes of data isn’t necessarily useful. A smarter approach is being adopted in Quito, Ecuador where five problems have been identified to solve, and labs are subsequently being established to determine what data will be required to solve these problems, opening it up with a clear purpose for doing so.
