Exploring the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries network meeting report, 24-26 April 2013, The Open Data Institute, London

Abstract

The network meeting in London was an opportunity for project leaders to explore shared research issues in understanding emerging impacts of open data. For instance: Should open data be seen as a tool to address specific issues? Or as a public good that can support innovative problem solving? What criteria can be used to assess good quality of data? This report captures key discussions from the event while providing a record for participants. The Open Data Institute was established to build capacity and increased demand for open data, by furthering innovators, companies and skills in their work with open data.
