DESCRIPTION
Over the last two years the World Wide Web Foundation’s Open Data Barometer has surveyed the open data landscape in over 75 countries, building up a picture of progress, and pitfalls, on the road to ‘open by default’.The latest edition of the Barometer, launched in January 2015, shows a growing data divide. But it also points to areas where open data is having impact, and highlights factors that appear to contribute to greater political, economic and social outcomes from open data initiatives.SpeakersTim Davies is a PhD candidate at the University of Southampton Web Science Doctoral Training Centre, and Affiliate at the Harvard Berkman Centre for Internet and Society. He was previously open data research coordinator at the World Wide Web Foundation, leading the development of the Open Data in Developing Countries project, and working on the research and write-up of the Open Data Barometer. He tweets as @timdavies.Dr Savita Bailur is open data research lead at the World Wide Web Foundation, working on the development of a new programme of open data action research in Africa and Asia, designed to discover context-appropriate ways of closing the data divide.

Minor modifications between 2013 and 2014 method, but kept as consistent as possible for comparability. 77 countries in 2013, 86 in 2014.
10% of 1,290 surveyed datasets met the open definition
Up on 7% in 2013
But timeliness is a major issue…
• Is openness the same as transparency?
• Why has country X invested heavily and not achieved a better overall ranking?
• Why has impact gone down for a country between two editions of the ODB?
• What did country x do to jump so many places?
• How can we improve our ranking?
SO WHAT?…
RecommendationsImproving rankings and improving practice
• High-level political commitment to proactive disclosure of public sector data, particularly the data most critical to accountability
• Sustained investment in supporting and training a broad cross-section of civil society and entrepreneurs to understand and use data effectively
• Contextualizing open data tools and approaches to local needs, for example by making data visually accessible in countries with lower literacy levels.
• Support for city-level open data initiatives as a complement to national-level programmes
• Legal reform to ensure that guarantees of the right to information and the right to privacy underpin open data initiatives
