4. Is Open Data the best solution?
The hard reality: BUILDING OPEN DATA SERVICES IS,
STILL, A PAIN
REASONS/COMMENTS:
#1: “We need more data opened”.
#2: “Open the Data is expensive”.
#3: “The Law don’t enforce me to open data”.
#4: “The open data quality is so low”.
#5: “Governments open data that we don’t want”.
#6: “We need all data, we don’t want only the ‘cooked’ data”.
#7: “We need to homogenize all open data offer”.
#8: “From close data to open data… but in silos”.
#9: “I don’t know what the hell license is applicable”.
#10: “I have a strong distrust towards the government”. Etc.
