15.00 How to use open data to grow your business
The open data trend is a fact. Governments and companies do make data public, with the exception of privacy-related data. In this session, we will hear how 3rd parties can benefit from open data to create added value. An example will be given on how data from the Kruispuntbank, the National Bank and Het Belgische Staatsblad can provide companies with useful information that creates value.Toon Van Agt, Chairman of the Board, Open Knowledge (Dutch)

Move from Structured to Unstructured
Heterogeneous sources of data
Structured (tables, transactions) = schema
Semi-structured (human-readable, XML, JSON)
Unstructured (images, audio, videos) = no relationship

So how did we get there ? Xx -> 2000
One problem - one environment - one solution
80’s build a proprietary - mainframes - cobol – unix
- Reuse code – own data -
90’s choose build vs buy - standard software - 4GL - rdms -internet - GNU/Linux - windows NT
-Reuse processes - own data -
Y2K & explosion of standard software
Standard application software wins
Forced to accept standard processes
11
2000 -> Now
Processes to cover legal obligations are in place
Covered by classical ERP, CRM, WMS ...
New disruptive business ideas
share software – share processes – share data
12
Today
More data
More processing power
Cheaper processing power
- > technology was crowd sourced thanks to open source
- > data has been crowdsourced thanks to open data
- > knowledge and solutions can also be crowdsource by joining a community of practice

“a group of people who share a concern, set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and
expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis.” (Wenger et al., 2002)
What makes a successful CoP?
clear purpose – what will it be used to do?
creating a safe and trusted environment

being motivated
knowing the needs of participants
having a clear action plan with activities to meet needs
blending face-to-face and online activities
This can all be achieved by good, active facilitation
