-
(1) intro
- why this topic
- just a bit me, myself and I
- overview presentation
- an intermezzo for when we have time
- ask questions at any time
- how does open data fit into (my) perspective on the age of openness
-
(2) Enrich GIS
- sorry to ask, but what is GIS?
- what do I see as BIG GIS and small GIS (as in the definition)
- just have it your own way, I like this model,
-
Goal
- better decision
- more insight
- more knowledge
- more (geographic) thinking
- greater awareness
-
(3) Social media
- explain social media
- the move from where to 'what is there', man as sensor
- and all of that related to geography
-
Social media
- digital conversations, active participation
- acces to one another
-
examples of social media networks
- LinkedIn
- Twitter
- Mendeley
- Quora
- Foursquare
- Hyves
- Facebook
- Google+
- examples of hyperlocal media
-
key questions
- how to achieve more engagement?
- how to activate (citizens?)
- tip: three is not a crowd. wizdom of the idiot (tx Thomas Paine)
-
And to GIS?
- determine where social media has it's place in your GIS processees
-
OpenStreetMap
- use as a datasource
- contribute!
- donate some data (eg. trees)
- mash-up your data to the extreme
-
Goal
- reach more people
- engage more people
- get greater commitment
-
Costs
- learn the tools
- Time to work with the tools
- Time to find out what works
- tip: it is all a-ha technology (tx L. Lessig)
-
(4) Open data
-
on the origin
- Open Data / Obama / Kundra
- why would USAID be open data? and the world bank
- the BIG way to me relates to society at large and innovation
-
a truly open society?
- 100% open does not exit, nor does 100% closed
- Plato was the evil root of it all, in favour of a closed society (Socrates actually was the defender of a free mind)
-
Karl Popper, the Open Society and this enemies;
- Plato tried to kill democracy at its infancy
-
EPSI and the European directive
- it just makes sense for the citizens of Europe
-
research by TNO on Open Government
- why these countries research? did they also look for positve econ. benefits first?
- has led to a clear commitment by central government
- to go beyond the apps-in-a-day events
- and go for linked open data and a central open data portal
-
Esri's contribution
- maps and apps at www.arcgis.com
- community base maps
- drag and drop of data
- templates to share
-
related to GIS?
- get ready, this WILL come to your doorstep
- get going with a simple project
- Esri would like to guide you on the steps of the open geo data
-
why Open Geo Data?
- Open Society
- Economic benefits (note: I would like to see more research on that)
- Bring down barriers to innovation (which is no garantee to innovation)
- increase citizen agagement
-
in the end just a leap of faith
- in a few years all technology will support this
-
(5) extro
-
Take aways
- Open Data will really get interesting once it is linked
-
Government has no monopoly over open data
- firm and citizens have an important role to play
- call for further research with TNO and Esri
-
How it's made
- thinking, research, conversations
- attend open data events
- Harvesting Mendeley
- A few books (tx Anobii)
- Serendipity at the library
- Tools: Xmind, Powerpoint, Slideshare
-
Tips social media
- Consider in which (GIS) processes social networks have a role to play
- can these networks be reached?
- take your time to learn the tools
- Aim for what the highest engagement
-
Tips open data
- what data can easily be shared?
- Go for an experiment/project
- Donate trees to openstreetmap and see what happens
