Open information sharing is important for higher education's future. As the web has evolved from simply displaying documents (Web 1.0) to enabling social interactions and sharing data through APIs (Web 2.0 and 3.0), it is crucial for higher education institutions to publish their data openly through APIs and open licenses. Doing so increases accountability, enables more efficient functioning, and empowers people by giving them access to valuable information. All institutions already have large amounts of data that could be published to these ends.
