The effectiveness of any publisher partnership relies entirely on the quality of the data your partner accesses. As consumers, we expect and demand a certain quality of ‘fuel’ when we fill our cars, but as publishers, are we truly confident about the quality of data that we leverage? We will be myth busting 3 common misconceptions within the publishing industry.

Impacts of Open Data Standards on Transparency Tools - Khairil Yusof (Sinar P...mysociety
This was presented by Khairil Yusof (Sinar Project) and Soe Lin Htoot (Myanmar Fifth Estate), at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC@Taipei) in Taipei on 12th September 2017. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://civictechfest.org/agenda
Abstract:
Most Open Data initiatives assume the provision of data by governments which will then be picked up and used by a variety of sectors for the good of all.
But for countries with opaque governments, or whose NGOs lack technical capacity, the promises of Open Data will fall far short of the reality.
This active research shows how adopting Open Data standards for government data helps civil society organizations collaborate in building usable Open Data sets for transparency, governance — and tools that increase participation by citizens.
And for those in places where government do not reliably release Open Data, discover how to source unstructured data by other means. Finally, Khairil discusses the contrasting impacts and uses of this approach in the two different environments of Malaysia and Myanmar.
How will the future of politics and political campaigning look like? Who will be the heroes in the future political battles? Where will the battle take place - on the streets or in the virtual world? What weapons will the future political parties use?
In this report, the Institute of Customer Experience raises many of such questions and presents possible scenarios that might become a reality given the present trends.
