General theme for ODI Meetup #14: the state of Open Data in Ireland and the way forward.
During the public meeting hold by D/PER on September 8th, it was concluded that in order to generate demand amongst open data enthusiasts we need to catalyse interest in open data by developing a real life examples of "data made open + put in use" to help someone to answer a real question.
The general idea is to conceive 5+ real life examples of the Irish Government Data being put in use and made helpful.
At this event we will
- Look at the progress Ireland has made re open data in availability for re-use in the last year by looking at annual Global Open Data Index 2014 (http://global.census.okfn.org/)
- Building on Open Charity Data project, to mark potential projects, to identify obstacles and ways around them
- To develop a working plan for the next 12 month
We are inviting all interested group for open collaboration on moving this idea forward.
