Definitions
• Open Data
– Data and metadata are free and available for use without restriction, data is re-usable without further permission required
• Open Source
– A method for collaborative development of software through peer input, review and transparency. Methods, algorithms and source code made available by participants to all.
• In the Context of Greater Manchester Mobility
– Provide a Web location for broad sharing of multi source/multi modal data and source code whilst adhering to open source and detailed governance rules to protect integrity, privacy and data quality
Philosophy
• How
– Use of Open Source Licenses – Granting rights in support of a balance between collaboration and commercialisation
– Acquisition – Identifying requirements and restrictions/limitations in contract language
• Why
– Cost savings
– Better quality, higher reliability, increased flexibility
– Open vs Propietary
Why ODM
• Strategic – GMPTE want to make our data available as widely as possible
• Tactical – it was there and we were ready
• Government - Open Data Agenda
• User Segmentation
• Innovation
• Disposable Data
• Toe in the water
• Why not!
Where Next
• Informed Personal Traveller
• Improved NW Journey Planner
• Google, Microsoft…..
• Other Data Shares
• Data GM – Hosting
• Transport for Greater Manchester – what other data can we provide
Barriers
• OS Derived Data – GMPTE Legal take a strongly negative view
• Traveline Code of Conduct – has not proved to be a barrier so far
• Data Quality/Data Integrity
• Ageing Internal Systems – ATCO_CIF format is our current standard
Issues
• Support and Data feedback – what happens when sites provide incorrect information
• Longevity of third parties
• What other opportunities exist
• National Data Set – where does it fit
• Do we all “go it alone” or do we go as Traveline
• Where is the value in “our” data
• Charging - Payment methods/cost breakdown/distribution of monies
• Data Access - Who has authority to allow access to “our” data
• Policing third party use of data – Who/How/What
