This document discusses open data in island and remote communities. It describes challenges communities like Tiree face in accessing and using open data due to their small size and remoteness. It then outlines the ODIC (Open Data Islands and Communities) project which aims to improve data flows within communities, from communities to the wider world, and between communities, in order to empower communities and improve the availability and quality of open data. Key research challenges around working with small, heterogeneous datasets in disconnected areas are also mentioned.
