BUT, working in an open data initialtive can be scary too when
time comes, and there are several issues in several categories that
we need to deal with if we are to have a great project, let us
consider that each issue is a kid, that witll trick or treat us in
the project, and that if we are not ready, they will play tricks on
us.Working in a open data project is like halloween, you must know
that the kids will come and tick or traet you, and you must be
prepared with candies (solutions), and that possibly, each kid will
ask for a different kind of candie, actually, for sure they
will3

Open Nuts! Open Government Data activities in Austria Gregor
Eibl*, Brigitte Lutz**
How does opening government data compare to opening nuts?
Opening government data can be compared well with the act of
opening a nut. The kernel of the walnut for example, which is
protected by the hard shell and is a valuable food for animals, is
a calorie-rich winter food supply for birds, squirrels and other
rodents. Lets assume that government data is a rich supply for
third parties (businesses, NGOs, citizens, universities, other
government agencies), this information resource is often protected
well from third parties. Making this data available and easy to use
is one of the core claims in the debate of open government. You
will see later in this reflection that the principles of open
government data all have the aim to make these valuable information
resources easily available. Just like cracking a nut to access the
rich fruit. In this reflection we will shortly talk about the hard
shell, which the open government data movement will have to crack.
First the activities, which shows what Austria has done so far to
crack the shell and remove the barriers and finally the first
fruits, which became available through the efforts of opening the
nut itself.
1. The Hard Shell of Open Government Data Figure 1 depicts some
barriers encountered during the implementation of opening
government data in Austrian public administrations. Only through
the opening process of government data, data islands were
identified, which had to be integrated and harmonized. Other data
sources are consciously kept secret, which explains the resistance
of some data owners. Arguments were raised, that opening can have
unpredictable results (overwhelming feedback, new requirements,)
about the quality of data or new technical features.
On the other hand administrations have to deal with missing
resources, like lower budgets in the time of financial crisis,
additional distribution cost with the open data portals and missing
human resources capable of handling the new tasks. Raw data
eliminates the possibility to publish only censored and
non-critical data and information. Some administrations have
concerns to publish their data in a quality that was sufficient for
internal purposes, but not enough for the broad public audience.

public money has to be made publicly available (with exceptions)vs
PrivacyYou cannot open data that could allow correlation of private
personal data
