How to make the flowers bloom
(Why open data is necessary but not sufficient to make a difference)

The soil: technology that makes data publication, processing and production possible

The seeds: raw, machine readable data

Sunight: presenting, visualising, contextualising the data brings the seeds to life.

Water: government policies, legislation and regulation provide conditions for growth

Flowers: visualisations make the data beautiful and comprehensible

Pollinators: link the data, compare it, and breed new flowers ...

Arrangements: mash-ups, applications, analysis make sense out of the data

Without this ecosystem .....

... open data is just a few seeds waiting to germinate
