Open Data HK is a group promoting the awareness and use of open datasets. The group started in March 2013. This is a short presentation to a group of about 25 on 13 June on what is open data and some sources for further information on the topic.

1. “When
the
people
fear
their
government,
there
is
tyranny;
when
the
government
fears
the
people,
there
is
liberty.”
Thomas
Jefferson
1743-­‐1826
“Today
we
find
ourselves
in
the
midst
of
an
open
data
revolu>on”

3. What
is
Open
Data?
A
piece
of
data
is
open
if
anyone
is
free
to
use,
reuse
and
redistribute
it
–
subject
only,
at
most
to
a
requirement
to
aUribute
and
share-­‐alike
Anyone
means
Anyone!

4. Modified
from
The
Open
Data
Handbook
1. Availability
and
Access:
the
data
must
be
available
as
a
whole
and
at
no
more
than
a
reasonable
reproducCon
cost,
preferably
by
downloading
over
the
internet.
The
data
must
also
be
available
in
a
convenient
and
modifiable
form.
Easy
for
a
machine
to
read,
to
manipulate,
to
transform
and
to
combine.
2. Reuse
and
RedistribuAon:
the
data
must
be
provided
under
terms
that
permit
reuse
and
redistribuCon
including
interoperability
of
processes
and
systems
and
the
intermixing
with
other
datasets.
3. Universal
ParAcipaAon:
everyone
must
be
able
to
use,
reuse
and
redistribute
-­‐
there
should
be
no
discriminaCon
against
fields
of
endeavour
or
against
persons
or
groups.
For
example,
‘non-­‐commercial’
restricCons
that
would
prevent
‘commercial’
use,
or
restricCons
of
use
for
certain
purposes
(e.g.
only
in
educaCon,
not
for
gene>c
research
or
nuclear
industry),
are
not
allowed.
