“If you have access to the data,
then you can achieve continuity
even if you don’t have access to
the underlying source of the application.
Open data is more important than open source. […]
Data persists, open data endures.”

★
make your stuff available on the Web
(whatever format) under an open license
★★
make it available as structured data
e.g., Excel instead of image scan of a table
★★★
use non-proprietary formats
e.g., CSV (Comma Separated Values) instead of Excel
★★★★
use Web addresses (URLs) to denote things,
so that people can point at your stuff
★★★★★
link your data to other data – see http://datahub.io/ –
to provide context

“Software – as a service or not – is just a container.
What makes software valuable has always been what
it does to data. Now, in the same spirit of SOA (Service
Oriented Architecture) and SaaS (Software As A Service),
a new concept is emerging, Data-as-a-Service – DaaS.”
Pete Soderling (2010)
