Our specialism will become more visible
Our every move will be watched
Government will be more transpartent
What if there are mistakes in the data
Citizens and developers can help make data complete
There’s too much risk for violation of privacy
Aggregated data is safe to use
The cost is too high
We will be more efficient and effective
People will draw wrong conclusions
Exciting new combinations will occur
We cannot guarantee quality this way
Best practices will rize to the surface
Our infrastructure becomes more fragile
Engagement and involvement of citizens will increase
