Open Data Definition

A piece of data or content is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and/or share-alike. (Open Knowledge, http://opendefinition.org)

Open Data Economic Impact

Open data can generate more than $3 trillion a year in additional value in key sectors of the global economy, including education, health, transportation, and electricity. (McKinsey via The White House http://www.whitehouse.gov/ blog/2014/04/08/impact-open-data)

Open Street Maps

What you can do:

◮ Get maps from all over the world ◮ Free and open usage ◮ Download it to be independent ◮ Add local environment ◮ Correct errors ◮ Update yourself ◮ Machine readable

Before Open Streetmap:

◮ Espensive, closed, not updateable ◮ Sublicenses impossible or extremly costly

Aplications

◮ Mobile apps: Take the Map with you, no data charges ◮ GIS: Add local data to the Map like flood levels, damages, etc ◮ Websites: How to get to your shop? ◮ Visualisation: Where are your trucks? ◮ Visualisation: Where is the flooding)? ◮ Visualisation: Where should I buy a house? ◮ . . .

Open Data Users Who uses open data from the government?

In Norway 20 % of FOIs for government information are coming from officials inside government. (2014-05-11 tweet by @anpe (Anders Pedersen), openspending.org)

Government Open Data Use

Common problems:

◮ Do you know what data is in your department? ◮ Do you know what data is in the other departments? ◮ Do you know what data is in the central government ◮ Do you know what data is in the local governments?

If you make it open:

◮ You are transparent (no more FOI request!) ◮ You are up-to-date ◮ You know what is going on ◮ Synergies can be found (let’s optimize!)

Open Government Partnership

http://opengovpartnership.org/

◮ More Transparency ◮ More Acountability ◮ More Citizen Participation ◮ Open Data by Default ◮ FOI

Parlamentarian Process

External experts:

◮ How can 900 head injuries be avoided if there are only 625

children injured and most of them already use helmets?

◮ Experience from Australia: Helmet laws do not increase

helmet usage, they reduce bicyle usage without helmet

◮ Helmet laws increase accident risk and risk of injury for

cyclists (http:

//www.parlament.gv.at/PAKT/VHG/XXIV/ME/ME_00261/index.shtml, especially http://www.parlament.gv.at/PAKT/VHG/XXIV/SNME/SNME_ 06080/imfname_208927.pdf)

◮ Helmet laws increase accident risk and risk of injury for

◮ increase range of law from up to 10 years to up to 12 years. ◮ put helmet law in force with May 2011

Bicycle Helmet Law in Austria

Austria: Since May 2011 children up to 12 years old have to wear a bicycle helmet when cycling

Bicycle Helmet Law in Austria

Austria: Since May 2011 children up to 12 years old have to wear a bicycle helmet when cycling

First results:

◮ helmet usage up from 65 % to 86 % (2009 - 2011) ◮ 4500 children in 2011 in hospital due to bicycle accident ◮ 1900 (42 %) with head injury in 2011 ◮ 47 % with head injury in 2009 (year from context, not directly

given)

◮ 100 head injuries less due to helmet law

Bicycle Helmet Law in Austria

Austria: Since May 2011 children up to 12 years old have to wear a bicycle helmet when cycling

◮ helmet usage up from 65 % to 86 % (2009 - 2011) ◮ 4500 children in 2011 in hospital due to bicycle accident

625 in 2009?

◮ 1900 (42 %) with head injury in 2011 ◮ 47 % with head injury in 2009 (year from context) ◮ 100 head injuries less due to helmet law

Was that not supposed to be 900?

◮ Funny coincidence that numbers are exact hundreds ◮ if 21 % points increase in useage is because 29% gave up

cycling (like in australia), then the head injuries number with no effect should be 1350, but we have 1900?

◮ 2624 non-head injuries now vs 2255 before law?

Closed Data Really Hurts

Open questions:

◮ Study numbers vs. official statistics: Which one is wrong? ◮ Did accident rates sky-rocket? ◮ Did head injury rates sky-rocket? ◮ What should I do with my children?

. . . Closed Data Hurts!
