Post extremamente interessante. Especialmente o artigo sobre a Hungria, http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2014/10/16/is-ogp-vouching-for-hungary. Dados abertos não pode virar mero marketing para governos corruptos ou autoritários. Deve ser algo auxiliar ao trabalho histórico, paulatino, de abertura governamental à sociedade e construção da participação social. Como auferir o impacto real de dados abertos?
