Hi, Some of you will already be aware that at ODI we're working on a tool for giving people "Open Data Certificates", designed to help publishers understand what good open data looks like, including covering
* legal issues (licensing, ownership and privacy) * practical issues (findability, accuracy, quality and guarantees) * technical issues (locations, formats and trust) * social issues (documentation, support and services) There's a "vision" here: https://github.com/theodi/open-data-certificate/wiki/Vision an alpha version of the questionnaire on line at: http://theodi.github.io/open-data-certificate/certificate.html and some more explanatory text here: http://theodi.github.io/open-data-certificate/ The point of the alpha version is to get input on whether the questions are the right ones and whether the pilot/standard/exemplar is pitched correctly. There's a bunch of stuff that *isn't* done, in particular to do with UX & back-end support. We'll be putting that in place over the next couple of months. I'm really interested in any comments that this group have. The github project is here: https://github.com/theodi/open-data-certificate If you can add issues through github, or even do pull requests, that would be great, but of course we can also discuss on this mailing list.
