It’s not about control,
it’s about accessibility.
Time doesn’t stand
still
It’s not about control,
it’s about
accountability.
Let’s open data for people,
But even more for the
future.
Building live
applications on LOD.

Editor's Notes

  • #2  rondvraag - open data - linked open data - triple
  • #4 A4G Vind plaats in 2011, nog geen dataportaal , maar eerder datasets 2012 datatank - toeristische data 2013 openen data gentse feesten / gis Later ook de bibdata Now from space
  • #5 Tech evolved as well We started with hosting csv/xml files There is nothing wrong with these files
  • #6 Which is also basically hosting json / xml files
  • #9 Hot weather with stormy nights: We also released the program via datatanks as jsn/xml Get alot of teams with competitive offers. Digipolis bougth an app, and several other pârties did as well. The app craze was in full steam ahead Many interested parties, tough competiton. App building is *hard*. The community apps where better. So there you go.
  • #10 So json was the way to go, Went easy.. People input events - website - datatank - appdev - end user Also for the developer . make a big join query over all the things and dump it It worked , but in a sucky way. All or nothing , slow ;
  • #11 Do you want to build an app ? Is this the best way to serve everybody Ids you want to reach people, mobile and accesible websites
  • #12 Building apps is hard; So by 2015, we didn’t bother anymore. Which was good, if the community builds apps we don’t have to anymore. This really was a nice position. We kept focussing on open data, app builders updated their apps
  • #15 VErschil: Apps don’t have to write a specifice parsers Links data and meaning Data can be queried as a whole or in part You stay reference of data
  • #16 You are responsible your the information you provide Provide a clear place to put your information, update it in the same spot
  • #17 Different builders, different approach: Download all Provide updates No-one proxied
  • #18 So Ghent couldn’t stay behind Publishing data as linked open data Started with a new platform as a triplestore -published all articles as linked open data
  • #20 That’s why you need a good pipeline .
  • #21 GF as linked open data It’s not a technology problem Taxonomy , organisation We still published the json, but the had references to the linked data as well Published as lod and jsons While in the json times the dev just pulled a report, he now has to think about how to organise and structure the data.
  • #24 Stateless...
  • #25 Ths bot is stateless Ran for whole period without glitch 3.5 k users Uses buttons . no natural language
  • #27 I’m an old guy. OPEN GOVERNMENT AND NETWORKED EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY
  • #28 These people aren’t coming to visit our open data portal. Machine intelligence is growing , a lot of them are allready mining wikidata.
