Achievements

Issues

2018-01-25 Florence MCE workshop

Scarce commitment in data publishing by employees The Open Data publishing is seen ad an overhead Difficulties in the identification of possible new data set Reluctance of ICT analyst to consider Open Data interfaces in

SW packages Lack of automatic publishing processes Needs of ICT support in data correction & adaptation Resistance to changes in data publishing procedures (new OD

platform) Lack recognition of the value of Open Data publishing also by

politicians (just a fashionable activity) Strong reluctance from census data specialists

Issues(the internal reaction)

2018-01-25 Florence MCE workshop

The audience interested to Open Data seems smalls No clear identification of largely requested data set Underestimation of needed efforts in the Data Set requests Lack of standard for contents, formats and semantics Open Data users are (at moment) only curious ICT

specialists not businesses Difficulties also for skilled user to ignite/participate in

discussions around Open Data - Better response on co-creation

Incoherent reaction from Politicians: They need OD But dont like free access/discussion to them

Issues(the external reaction)

2018-01-25 Florence MCE workshop

Conclusions Publishing platforms already mature (from the technical

point of view) but still difficult for normal people Standard for Matadata still unclear (DCAT, INSPIRE, RNDT,.)

with dialects and local variants Only de-facto standard API Authoring and data updating problems Licensing (CC-BY not always possible) Lack of really impacting and convincing business cases Lack of Open Data plugs in commercial SW Huge efforts in publishing activity respect the measured

effects

Open Data Publishing seen more as a legal obligation or fashionable activity than as useful service
