DIKW MODEL
Data is at the root of all science and engineering developments. Data alone is interesting but when it is analyzed, it becomes a powerful tool
A knowledge-based society is a key driver for socio-economic growth, but the knowledge will have to be more accessible, more relevant and localized
“Open Data are all stored data which could be made accessible in a public interest without any restrictions for usage and distribution”
WHAT IS OPEN DATA?
Transparency Collaboration
Participation
Open Government Data Principle
*Open Government Directive, USA, December 2009

It belongs to everybody
Usually, it’s been paid with public money
It generates economic value
It creates better citizens
It promotes transparency (governments,
science, corporations, …)

OPEN DATA APPLICATIONS
To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junkThomas A. Edison, US inventor (1847 - 1931)
POWER OF OPEN DATA
In the 1980s, the United States launched satellites into space so the military could have precise location data for training, monitoring, and missions. Nearly two decades later, ordinary citizens were given access to that data stream. The $26.67 billion GPS market is possible only because of that open location-data stream
During the Haiti earthquake, people on the ground were uploading data via GPS which in effect, created a detailed representation and timeline of the city on Open Source Map that was then used to aid relief efforts
The Climate Corporation combines Big Data, climatology and agronomy to protect the $3 trillion global agriculture industry from increasingly extreme weather with fully automated weather insurance products
