The days when people look to the politic parties or public institutions to know where to walk have come to an end.” Patxi Lopez, January 14, 2010 “A new social contract between Basques” http://www.slideshare.net/Irekia/100114-contrato-social-kontratu-sozial

- 33. Keys to success 1. Highest political leadership 2. Short-term releasing the maximum number of datasets. 3. First datasets of maximum utility and minimum difficulty 4. Making the project sustainable, with moderate levels of investment and spending 5. Providing good web content, usable and understandable, before making it available as open data. 6. Structured formats and standards. 7. Listen and involve reusers in order to meet their needs. 8. Advance the technological model, without seeking the leadership in this regard. 9. Permanent Beta: flexibility in response to the changing environment.

Editor's Notes
- Many models of opening public sector information can be raised by applying the European Directive 2003/98/EC. But it is not always good news that many models can coexist. Releasing public information is a complex problem for Governments, perhaps so tangled as the Gordian knot that Alexander the Great found in his campaign of conquest of Persia. The Basque Government has started up an open government data strategy 18 months ago. Now we have got experience enough to define our own model. It’s very important to discuss strong and weak points of each model in order to approach some kind of agreement between governments. The aim is to be more effective and more useful for european society.
- First of all, the timeline of our project. There is a history since 1998, when the European Commission drafted the Green Paper on public sector information in the information society. That was the foundation stone of the PSI movement. In 2003, the European directive on this matter was approved . Spain approved its own law at the end of 2007.
- In parallel to the PSI movement, we find an equivalent in USA, called Open Government Data. PSI and OGD are not exactly the same, but both seek compatible goals, albeit from somewhat different ideological approaches . In 2007 we have the oGov Data Principles manifesto. In 2009, President Obama came to office and, in a short time, data.gov is online. It’s the first time that a national government conducts the eight principles of open government data.
- In 2009, we find the first case in Europe, with data.gov.uk, by the Gordon Brown Government in the UK.
- Agreement 29/12/2009: the Basque Government ordered starting up the project to open public data
- We have around 18 months of experience by now.
- The Basque government has expressed its commitment to the principles of open government : transparency, participation and collaboration. At one hand, each department is launching initiatives for open government, from a sectorial point of view. At the other hand, we are launching some cross-cutting initiatives for the whole government. One of them is Open Data Euskadi. Another one is Irekia, our Open Government website.
- European Directive defines PSI as “documents”. Problems: It misleads. The nuclear unit is the data, while the document is a collection of data assembled temporarily for a particular purpose. It is overwhelming . The number of documents possible from the data approaches infinity, and the neccesary work incalculable. It is unclear. PDF documents can not be considered open public information! Our choice: raw datasets, with a high level of disaggregation.
- The term "administrative license" implies a request for use of public information, an administrative proceeding and the issuance of a license for a particular use for a given period. This is an absurd bureaucratic complexity, because: Information on the Internet is directly taken, not is requested. If public, I have the right to make lawful use of it. Why limit my access? Our choice: CC-BY license where neccesary
- When we think of documents and administrative licenses, we are thinking of a system of public information at the request of stakeholders. This builds: An unsustainable system . Each request would be an onerous administrative burden. Barriers to consumption. It's hard to ask for information we do not know that there is. Our choice: release the information without waiting until is demanded, while listening to the demands to release more information.
- The EU directive allows the setting of fees for the use of public information. Again, we are in a paradigm of documents into a demand system. However, when focusing on data in a offer system, the fees are unnecessary and counterproductive. The fees are a major barrier. Reuse decreases exponentially with the price of fees. Even small amounts can be a barrier that discourages most. The data is cheap. If an Administration already offers information on its website, the cost of offering data besides is minimal. The collection costs. The recovery procedures are only sustainable with high rates. Our choice: spend a small budget, release lots of data and let them free.
