1. Open data involves making government and other data publicly available in a format that is accessible to both people and machines. This allows data to be more easily reused and repurposed.
2. There are still barriers to open data adoption, including a lack of awareness among senior management, fear of opening data, and a lack of technical skills.
3. Releasing open data can engage new audiences and allow the community to build applications using the data. It also enables a "failure for free" approach of learning from attempts to reuse open data.

Thanks to new technologies, now accessible also in remote places, development work - and development workers - have an increasing digital footprint. Quite litterally, what was invisible can now become visible, with major implications for aid effectiveness, transparency and fundraising. Being able to manage such footprint effectively and analyse it to identify emerging trends is going to be a differentiating skill in the Development 2.0 world. This presentations illustrates some key concepts, examples and tools that development organisations can use ti analyse and manager their digital footprint.

Open Book Exam System by CBSE
Sometime back there was a news that CBSE is planning to introduce Open Book Exam system for the current session "CBSE is all set to introduce the “OPEN BOOK EXAM “ for classes IX, X, XI in 2013 -2014 session and in Class XII from next academic session, reports some section of the media"
The Video and the Post here explains what exactly is an Open Book Exam
Some Facts about the Open Book Exam System
Open book tests are not easy tests.
Open book tests teach you how to find information when you need it.
The questions are designed to teach you how to use your brain
The CBSE open book system will be for 15-20% of the marks. The schools will be supplied with the text material in few months before the commencement of Summative Assessment – 2. (It will start from 2014).

Key findings from the 2013 edition of Education at a Glance - Andreas Schlei...EduSkills OECD
Some 10 years ago, we lived in a very different world in which education systems tended to be inward-looking , where schools and education systems typically considered themselves to be unique and to operate in a unique context that would not allow them to borrow on policies and practices developed elsewhere.

The success of an organization increasingly depends on their ability to draw conclusions regarding the various types of data available. Staying ahead of competitors requires many times to identify a trend, problem or opportunity microseconds before anyone else. That's why organizations must be able to analyze this information if they want to find insights that will help them to identify new opportunities underlying this phenomenon.
People are spontaneously uploading large amounts of information on the internet and this represents a great opportunity for companies to segment according to their behavior and not only socio-demographic factors. Companies store transactional information from their customers by making them fill in forms but the challenge for brands is to enrich these databases with information describing their customer’s behavior and daily habits. This info can be obtained through the online conversation and can be processed, crossed and enriched with many other types of information through different models based on Big Data. Following this procedure, we can complement the information we already have from our customers without having to ask them directly and therefor providing more value-added proposals to clients from a brand perspective.
Using the same technology with the right platform and the correct tactic, companies can achieve more ambitious goals that provide valuable information for the brand, which in turn could also enrich the customer’s experience, improving the customer journey for all types of clients.

4. “Government data is being put online to
increase accountability, contribute
valuable information about the world,
and to enable government, the country, and
the world to function more efficiently.”
Tim Berners-Lee
14. “The Web will be understood not as
screenfuls of text and graphics but as a
transport mechanism, the ether through
which interactivity happens...
15. ...It will appear on your computer screen,
on your TV set on your car dashboard, on
your cell phone, hand-held games
machines and maybe even your
microwave.”
Darcy DiNucci

The internet, whilst being accessible to people is
mainly a system for presenting information.
While machines know what type of information is on a
web page, they don't necessarily know what the
information is
Open data essentially makes web based information
accessible to machines, as well as people.
76. Ratemyplace
Food Safety scores website
Built completely in house
Open data? Why not!
Simple RESTful API
Widgets too!

Here's a standard web page
As I mentioned before, machines know how to
present the data, but they can't tell the difference
between what is an address (for example) and what
is a political party or telephone number.
This makes it very difficult to get the data from a web
page to any other system (without a lot of work from
developers)
77. Next steps
Lots of information on our website
Why not expose all this?
Added geographical information too
4
This is the same information presented as XML
It's standardised, so machines can read it very easily
and there is less work involved on the part of
developers.
78. Next steps (2)
Heard about Openly Local
Felt the pain of scraping
Why don't I just give you our data?

Data can then be reused as in this example – openly
local
Information is shown in a simple, clear format, with
other council's information in the same format –
much of it gained through screen scraping.
79. What are the barriers?
Lack of awareness
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
Lack of interest from suppliers
Lack of technical knowledge in web teams
AdobeMac6
However, there are some barriers, licensing is one,
sometimes we can't share all the data we want to
because of licensing restrictions.
There's also a lack of awareness amongst senior
management, which means there's noone pushing for
data to be opened
There's also a lot of fear about open data, it's a brave new
world and a lot of people are used to 'data hugging' –
keeping their data close and using it as power
Suppliers don't seem to have got on the open data train yet,
there's currently no offering that allows online systems to
be opened easily
Some web teams don't have a technical resource, and
without suppliers offering systems, they just don't have
the knowledge

Twitterplan uses data provided in a standard format
by PlanningAlerts
Sends a direct message on Twitter to users whenever
a planning application is lodged in their area
Because it uses standard data, which is easy to work
with, it took me two days to build – if I had to get the
data from council websites myself it would take a lot
longer
However, due to the actions of the Royal Mail, this
service is currently suspended.

At LDC, I was inspired by the work of dedicated
volunteers, and wanted to open up our data
We've taken a 'steady as she goes' approach,
releasing data in a piecemeal fashion, working with
developers in the community and finding out what
they want
We've also been identifying quick wins, if someone
wants a new system, we make sure open data is
built in. Also if there's data that's easy to open, such
as leisure centre or park locations (as KML files),
that goes in too
83. Why open data?
Allows us to engage with different audience
Makes engagement a 'many to many' arrangement
'Failure for free'

coccu 10
I've gone through the hows, but what about the
whys? Why should we lofty public sector folk give
our data to the public?
For a start, it allows us to engage with a different type
of audience, opening data gives us access to a
typically younger, digitally switched on audience,
not just the curtain twitching nimby type
Also, when we release data, communities build up
around data, making engagement a many to many
arrangement – good example is BCCDIY
It gives people the opportunity to build cool stuff with
our data – stuff we either wouldn't have thought of
or don't have time to do. And if it doesn't work,
we've lost nothing – to paraphrase Clay Skirky, we
get 'Failure for Free'
