This document discusses open data and how it relates to rural communities. It defines open data as data that is freely available without restrictions. Open data can benefit many groups in rural communities, including citizens, farmers, small businesses, and local governments. However, open data also presents challenges regarding privacy, security, data quality, and licensing. Intermediaries like programmers and advisors can help rural communities overcome these challenges and leverage open data through knowledge management.
