---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rufus Pollock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 13-dic-2007 11.26 Subject: [okfn-discuss] 8 Principles of Open Government Data To: okfn-discuss <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Tom Steinberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Aaron Swartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There's a request for comments up at: <http://public.resource.org/8_principles.html> This came out of a recent meeting (from the blurb): "December 7-8, 2007—This weekend, 30 open government advocates gathered to develop a set of principles of open government data. The meeting, held in Sebastopol, California, was designed to develop a more robust understanding of why open government data is essential to democracy." I've included the 8 principles info below. This seems a great initiative and given the close similarity with the Open Knowledge/Data Definition[1] we should definitely get in contact with these guys and see both how we could participate in this particular instance and how we could collaborate in general. [1]: <http://opendefinition.org/1.0/> Looking specifically at the principles it seems that they are looking at something slightly wider -- what one might term *open government* as opposed to simply *open data*. Specifically items 5-8 (and maybe 4 too) would seem to be very similar to existing items in the OK/DD (though item 8 is stronger -- and also problematic for that reason: (e.g.) the UK government's click-use license is a license but is also open). Items 1-4, by contrast, are more about what government should make available and are therefore more about the general process of government rather than the openness of the data itself. Regards, Rufus 8 Principles ============ >From <http://public.resource.org/8_principles.html> Government data shall be considered open if it is made public in a way that complies with the principles below: 1.
