The document discusses open data from both a local and global perspective. It outlines the benefits of open data, such as enabling new opportunities and increased relevance for governments. However, it also notes some challenges to open data like data quality issues and concerns about exposing incompetence or proprietary information. The document advocates starting simply by publishing basic open data and improving over time.

Democratizing Data to transform gov., business & daily lifeW. David Stephenson
A speech to the Tableau Customer Conference 2009 based on the author's forthcoming "Democratizing Data" book, arguing that a combination of real-time structured data feeds and tools such as the Tableau visualization software can empower entire workforces, cut operating costs, encourage coooperation, and foster crowdsourcing.
This is a vision talk, looking at what is happening on the Web with large scale community interactions. It discusses ongoing efforts, Chinese Human Flesh Search Engine, and a research agenda for "Social Machines" based on these emerging challenges.
"Why the Semantic Web will Never Work" (note the quotes)James Hendler
This talk refutes some criticisms of the semantic web, but also outlines some research challenges we must overcome if we are to ever realize Tim Berners-Lee's original Semantic Web vision.
This summarizes my concept of a transformation in which data is only entered once (by government, businesses or the public), automatically tagged with metadata, and then flows, preferably on a real-time basis, to anyone who needs it (limited only by their roles), plus tools to use and interpret the data. The results will be new goods & services, transparency, and economical operations!
An updated "what is happening on the Semantic Web" presentation for 2010 - includes business use, government use, and some speculation on the current areas of excitement and development. A very accessible talk, not aimed solely at a technical audience.
Drupalcon keynote: Open Source and Open Data in the age of the cloudTim O'Reilly
My keynote at Drupalcon SF on April 20, 2009. Similar to my talk at OSBC, MySQL and Greenplum, but with a bit of a drupal twist. Ending riff on DIY inspired by Isaiah Saxon's comments on my MySQL keynote.
Open Source and Open Data in the Age of the CloudTim O'Reilly
Another of my "State of the Internet Operating System" talks, this one given at the MySQL User Conference on April 14, 2010. A bit more of a focus on open data.
Another version of my talk about the state of the Internet Operating System, but this one focused on how it will affect business intelligence. Given at Greenplum Days in Las Vegas, held in conjunction with the Gartner BI Summit.
Open Source in the Cloud Computing EraTim O'Reilly
While open source software plays an important role in many cloud applications, we need to understand where the cloud is taking us or we'll find ourselves in the grip of a new monopoly. Open source needs to get serious about building interoperable open data services - they are the operating system of the internet.

Joey Coleman - Building an Open Data Ecosystem for all to access#DevTO
How do we build open data so it is accessible to all citizens and not just those with specialized skills such as information management or coding? In Hamilton, municipal open data is being implemented because of advocacy among neighbourhood associations and community groups, not solely from the developer community, with the goal of ensuring all citizens can use open data. It’s a unique partnership – what does it mean for open data, open government, and civic engagement? Join this discussion as we explore the question.

Short presentation given to news::rewired conference in London, June 25, 2010.
It was meant to be a 5-7 minute presentation on "What are the benefits of letting users become part of the editorial process?", so is necessarily brief.
Presentation given to OKCON 2010 (Open Knowledge Foundation Conference), held at ULU, London, April 24. Note this is a slightly updated and reworked version of the presentation given to the Manchester Social Media Cafe on April 6
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Do we still need to answer this question? Yes

no longer
just about
websites
And in the future
will be primarily
NOT websites
11. Information, when we
want it, where we want
it, how we want it
sensors, apps, api’s, offline...

12. The future is global
• How many UK search engines/social networks/
auction sites/location services are there?
• How many truly big British companies are there
(Dude, where’s my tax base?), and what is a
company anyway?
• Where does jurisdiction lie in a massively
connected world?
13. The future is local
• We live locally
• However much we are connected we are
intimately affected by local events, the local
environment, local crime and local culture
• Location still matters – just look at all the
internet business being based on it
• We don’t have just one ‘local’ – home, work,
holiday, where we grew up
14. In this world, open
data is the connection
that empowers

23. Open data is...
relevance
Facebook vs the British govt
Tesco vs any council
BP vs any country
Government is becoming less powerful,
less relevant but by opening its data it
increases its relevance
24. Open data is...
new opportunities
Data owners (& not just govt ones) are
usually the last people to be able to see its
full potential. Data reusers bring a fresh
(and non-public sector) eye to the data
27. So, open data’s a
silver bullet?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/eschipul/4160817135/
28. There are no silver
bullets
• If there weren’t problems, we wouldn’t be
doing anything interesting
• We’ve now had local councils publishing
open data for over a year (kudos to
@pezholio and @londondatastore)
• Done some interesting experiments (Open
Election Data project)
• Can now identify some real & bogus problems
29. Open Data non
problems
• What if people misinterpret the data?
(c.f. What if people vote the ‘wrong’ way)
• What if nobody uses the data
(inevitable for some data, but even this is useful
feedback mechanism)
30. So where are the
problems?
Why is this still quite hard?
31. People & organisations
see it as a threat
(and it is if you are wedded to the status quo, or an
intermediary that doesn’t add anything)

Answer: the internet routes around
blockages; do the same.
Concentrate of getting things done rather than the proper
channels (& your citizens & frontline staff will thank you)

e.g. tied up in PDFs,
Word documents, or
arbitrary web pages
34. The data is messy –
e.g. tied up in PDFs,
Word documents, or
arbitrary web pages
Answer: Don’t lose too much sleep over
it, but fix it for the future
38. The data is complex
Answer: publish internal explanations/
training info, and make available
people who understand it
(NB its complexity may be a sign that
the process is flawed, e.g. LAAs)
39. The data is proprietary
Answer: work with the supplier,
or else go public & make this a
reputational issue for them
(and so warn other potential clients)
40. The data contains
personal info
Answer: use FoI as a benchmark (e.g.
consultants have no protection),
balance the cost/benefit, and protect
vulnerable individuals
41. The data will expose
incompetence
Answer: Get over it, embrace the
increased information & use it to
do a better job (& get media buy-in)
42. The tools are poor and
data literacy in the
community is low
Answer: work with hyperlocal sites,
SMEs, schools and colleges to improve
this and work with the data (and build
closer links with the community)
46. TBL’s 5-stars of open data
