Editor's Notes
- -Government efficiency: 1) Increasing data openness makes it easier to use for other government agencies, too. 2) Harmonizing information management practices brings economies of scale and makes knowledge transfer between organizations easier. 3) Saving time for everyone. -Business and innovation: 1) Giving access to government data for free is good for companies. It breeds new markets and supports innovation. 2) Better services for citizens, 3) For example, new ways to use information have many times been found by people who have a different educational background compared to the usual users. -Transparency and democracy: 1) Open data supports active citizenship, research and journalism by increasing transparency. 2) For example, it facilitates discussions in social media by making it easier to reference to government information. -> good example in Finland is what Helsingin Sanomat mediacompany did with their parliamentary election with their “election machine” -> opened that data, bred lots of applications, visualizations and discussion
