Open government data: construction and critiques...
Technical change: Bandwidth and processing capacity to work with data has grown. We can share all layers, not just analysed information. This creates conditions, and demand, for open data.
Social change: As authority becomes decoupled from institutions, more people outside the establishment want to check on the basis of ‘evidence based practice’. We want to create our own representations, not just accept those provided by others.

Open government data: construction and critiques...
On the one hand, recent decades have seen an elaboration of ideas of Intellectual Property, and an emphasis on information as a valuable
commercial asset: owned and enclosed by governments or corporations. On the other, open source ideas and a reaction to this new era of enclosure have inspired revitalised movements for access to knowledge (A2K) and an information
commons. Openness is seen as both an ethical good, and the only way to support global collaboration on the issues that matter.

A web of open data is the next step of ‘weaving the web’.

Open government data
• We make decisions based on information
• Information = data + context
• Data = encoded information
• Data can be manipulated by computers: sorted, filtered, remixed and turned back into information in diverse ways

Open government data: construction and critiques...
Open government data
• Governments have historically taken on a monopoly role as data collectors
• Government data collection shapes as well as records the world
• The government data that is available is the product of political decisions
• Is a government monopoly on data collection still necessary?

Open government data: construction and critiques...
“Secondly, one of the common justifications for opening government data is that it obviates the need for intermediary organizations, and empowers individual citizens by providing direct access to the information government itself uses to make decisions. This basic mistrust of bureaucratic organization is reflected in the frequent claim made by technologists that governments should simply release the raw data and leave others to get on with the job of using it. Although this may be relatively successful as a model for producing socially- and economically-valuable software, this paper has suggested it has yet to prove its worth as a model for political action. “

Endnotes: Where next?
• It’s still early days for open government data. Key questions remain over the sorts of production, and reform engagement it will support in practice.
• Research is getting going - but faces a research paradox.• The openness of open data can hide the trails we might use to
trace it’s impacts
• The ‘movement’ is going global: and encountering new ideas and challenges in the process.
