Open Data simple rules - opendatatrentino/pat-statweb-client GitHub Wiki

Steps: see http://www.innovazione.provincia.tn.it/opendata for more details

Make a Project document

Goals

  1. Economic growth
  2. Government services Efficiency and spending review (less people, old people, ... less money to distribute data)
  3. Government Transparency & Accountability

WorkPackages

  • Datasets
  • Platform
  • Semantics

  • Services
  • Organizational issues (How should the PA change to implement Open Data Phylosophy? This imply a change management phylosphy: e.g. from documents to structured data

Implement a Platform (alfa release): do not open it at the beginning

  • Use (if possibile) an open source software

Search for simple and easy to publish datasets (e.g. statistical datasets) and load them into the catalog

Make a federated platform (AKA write Guidelines)

  1. Formats (open data formats; Formats for data); Tim Berners Lee 3 stars Level (use non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV instead of Excel));
  2. Lisences (such as CC0, CC-by)
  3. Metadata (title, Author, etc) --> DCAT standard

Make a distributed catalog (AKA simple rules)

  • 3 stars Tim Berners Lee data
  • non dulicated datasts --> links to original datasets
  • the provider has to compile metadata (AKA give a catalog account to providers)

Open the Catalog (beta version)

Do courses for Public Administration / University

For example: http://www.innovazione.provincia.tn.it/contenuti.php?t=opendata_tab&id=5

Identify Organizations and Point of Contacts (Thematic Expert, Operational POI)

Organize Events

  1. Enterprises (e.g. Open Data challenges)
  2. Citizens, Journalists (e.g. School of data)

Open to social networks: Make Twitter, Facebook accounts

Make an Open Government Platform: (Open Data, Open Services, Big Data) + Policies

Add other datasets

  1. "Easy" ones and "mandatory" ones
  2. Scout PA web sites
  3. Scout departments
  4. Identify (POC). (Document: Organization/POC )
  5. Ask each department to publish annually some datasets
  6. Make an annual/6 months plan (Document: Data plan)

Use Collaborative tools

  • Google drive (each WP a folder)
  • GitHub place (platform development)
  • Google Calendar

Use shared documents

  1. Document: Event Plan
  2. Document: Data plan
  3. Document: Organization / Point of contacts list

Use KPI

  • number of datasets
  • number of downloads
  • number of apps
  • number of companies
  • ...
