Lundi 16 juin 2014, de 17h à 19h à l'EHESS à Paris Les controverses de l’open data au regard de l’histoire du mouvement Intervenants : Simon Chignard, Samuel Goëta L’open data ou ouverture des données désigne la mise à disposition de manière publique, gratuite et proactive de données que chacun peut librement consulter, modifier et utiliser. Le G8 de Lough Erne en 2013 a acté que l’open data devait devenir la pratique par défaut des administrations des pays signataires. Alors que l’ouverture des données semble devenir une priorité des gouvernements, comment le mouvement open data est parvenu à s’imposer dans le débat public comme une revendication essentielle de transparence, d’innovation et de modernisation des administrations ? Quelles sont ses racines profondes ? Quels réseaux d’acteurs ont été mobilisé pour aboutir à la stabilisation progressive des définitions et des pratiques de l’ouverture de données ? Au regard de cette histoire ancienne, il s’agit aussi de comprendre comment les contradictions du mouvement continuent d’influencer les controverses actuelles autour de l’ouverture des données. Nous discuterons les débats suivants en particulier : l’anonymisation des données, les risques d’enclosures, les réticences administratives et la difficile participation des citoyens à la réutilisation des données.

Big Data 2.0

Louis Dorard

Le Big Data entre dans une nouvelle phase où le prédictif est roi. Plutôt que de chercher à collecter une big quantité de données, on se concentre maintenant sur comment utiliser les données de façon à avoir un big impact. D'autant plus que les technologies Big Data deviennent désormais accessibles à des experts métiers qui peuvent les mettre à profit dans leurs domaines respectifs. Présentation donnée le 11 juin 2014 au Node à Bordeaux lors de la 1ère #datanight.

This document discusses the concept of open science. It begins by discussing how the paradigm of the scientist working isolated and disconnected must change to see scientists as nodes in a network. It discusses how openness fuels innovation and how open science can benefit citizens, scientists and society. It addresses researchers' behaviors which sometimes contradict open principles and challenges they face in adopting open practices. It also covers topics like open access, open data, copyright and licenses. Overall, the document advocates that openness is essential to science and its future lies in breaking down walls and making science more collaborative and accessible.

SPONGE is a media innovation lab located in Bucharest, Romania that experiments with "evolutionary hacks" to gather and share relevant information in Eastern Europe. It connects existing networks of journalists, coders, designers, activists and legal experts. Its primary goals are to develop a community of media innovators and improve how information is gathered and disseminated through open collaboration. It holds workshops and hackathons to encourage the production of open data apps and tools. Its model is to become replicable for other interdisciplinary communities working on open data projects.

The document discusses the Datalift project, which aims to lift and publish traditional raw data as Linked Open Data. It describes how semantic web technologies can be used to publish data in a common format with global identifiers and knowledge representation to enable an interlinked web of data. The Datalift platform provides tools to facilitate the data lifting process, including a catalog of 260 reusable vocabularies for creating data schemas. It also addresses challenges in naming resources, interlinking datasets, and managing access rights and licenses for published data.

Introduction to open data

Nicola Ghirardi

Open data refers to data that is freely available to everyone to use and republish without restrictions. Sources of open data include data from science, governments, and open data communities. Open data from governments can improve transparency, empower citizens, and foster innovation and economic growth when accessed. Finally, open data is playing a role in solving public problems by giving citizens and policymakers access to data-driven assessments and enabling more targeted interventions.
