Dublinked addresses shared urban economic development issues in an open innovation community enabling collective problem solving

Mission: Encourage the next generation of jobs and companies in the area of urban solutions, by enabling data-driven innovation and promoting Dublin as a world-leader in developing and trialing new urban solutions.

"The amount of public information produced by us and other public service providers is breathtaking but can be difficult to assimilate. In creating Dublinked we are calling on the expertise within all sectors to help develop solutions to regional challenges and avail of opportunities to test those solutions in our City, towns and neighbourhoods."

Ask yourselves these questions …

1. To what degree are our citizens getting sufficient benefits / returns on public sector information? How can we measure this?

2. To what degree have we leveraged the collective imagination and knowledge of our citizens? In what ways can we do more?

3. What types of progress are we making toward desired outcomes andhow do we communicate that effectively with stakeholders?

4. How relevant are our current information management policies and programs?

Many societies have already made the shift to the open paradigm – now they expect public sector to do the same and more

I’ve said before that I’m a big fan of open data . Opening up public data will get citizens involved in society and political life, increase the transparency of public administration, and improve public decision making. Those benefits cannot be overestimated. And public data can be used in many unexpected ways, too: as the father of the Internet, Tim Berners-Lee , put it: “if people put data onto the web… it will be used by other people to do wonderful things in ways that they never would have imagined”.

There’s a huge amount of money here, and a huge amo unt of opportunity. I want to see Europe at the forefront of this development. So I’m going to be taking action to open up Europe’s public sector, by promoting creative and innovative re-use of public data.

The European Union view: “data is the new oil for the digital age”

In the digital age, data takes on a whole new value, and with new technology we can do great things with it. Opening it up is not just good for transparency, it also stimulates great web content, and provides the fuel for a future economy.

That's why I say that data is the new oil for the digital age . How many other ways could stimulate a market worth 70 billion euros a year, without spending big budgets? Not many, I'd say.

So we are planning to shake up how public authorities share data. We have recently proposed amendments to the Public Sector Information Directive: these would make it cheaper, simpler and more automatic for you to use and re-use public data.

Outreach EC Activities

• June 2012 – Launch of EC Open Data Portal (Data & In formation of EC departments)

• In December 2011, the Commission presented an Open Data Package incl. Revision of the Directive on re- use of public sector information by:

• including new bodies in the scope of application of the Directive such as museums, archives and librar ies (incl. universities)• limiting the fees that can be charged by the public authorities at the marginal costs as a rule• introducing independent oversight over re-use rules in the Member States• making machine-readable formats for information hel d by public authorities the norm• Implementation deadline: 18 months after Directive’ s approval

• 100 Mio Euros for Open Data related acticities in E C funded R&D projects

• 2013 – Launch of a Pan-European Data Portal (Single Point of Access to Open Data of EU27)
