Open-data Cities Conference2012 I wrote this column for The Argus newspaper after the conference: More than 150 people attended the Open-data Cities Conference at Brighton Dome Corn Exchange. The conference, I hope, helped put Brighton and Hove at the forefront of an historic shift – fuelled by emerging internet technologies – that will transform the lives of millions of citizens in a global network of “networked” cities. So what is an open-data city? In simple terms, it is a city where democratically-accountable and publicly-funded organisations take the lead in the widespread release of data – with no licensing strings attached – that can be interpreted or manipulated by computers. As a result, such data can then be used to create innovative applications and services for the public good. To emphasise: open data is not about personal data relating to identifiable individuals. When I gave up my job to organise the conference, I was determined that it should not only generate discussion, but also inspire action.
« Rennes croit en la capacité créative des citoyens grâce à la libération des données » Rennes Métropole est la première collectivité française à ouvrir ses données publiques afin de permettre le développement d’applications au plus près des attentes et besoins des usagers. La démocratisation de cette démarche innovante passe notamment par l’organisation d’un concours à l’échelle du territoire rennais. Xavier Crouan, directeur de l’Information et de l’innovation numérique de la Ville de Rennes et Rennes Métropole, explique cette démarche et ses objectifs. Innov’in the City Pourquoi avez-vous ouvert et diffusé vos données dans la métropole rennaise ? Pouvez-vous nous présenter le concours « Rennes Métropole en accès libre » ? Quelle est votre conception de l’OpenData à Rennes ? Vous avez fait le choix de fournir des données brutes.
