WHAT IS OPEN DATA DAY?
Open Data Day is an annual celebration of open data all over the world. For the seventh time in history, groups from around the world will create local events on the day where they will use open data in their communities. It is an opportunity to show the benefits of open data and encourage the adoption of open data policies in government, business and civil society.
All outputs are open for everyone to use and re-use.
OPEN DATA DAY 2018 – WHAT’S NEW?
Events are locally organized and vary by location, yet the focus this year emphasizes four key areas:
· Open research data
· Tracking public money flows
· Open mapping
· Data for equal development
Maybe see you this weekend -- free & open to everyone. Feel free to forward & invite other friends, colleagues, and open data enthusiasts! Happy Open Data Day 2018!
