Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Adam Steer]

Hi, speaking as:

- a new player in the OSgeo world
- a person occupying a desk in an agency tasked with publishing data 
(fulfilling Gert-Jan’s point 3)

…and repeating other voices here - I see some form of data advocacy as really 
useful in OSgeo world, in particular in uptake of data sources for 
applications. A really quick example is something like the QGIS openlayers 
plugin. Awesome tool, but how do developers decide which data to include? 
Preferably reliable, easy to work with, standards-based, self-describing data. 
And how did it happen? Some developers saw a bunch of reliable data that could 
be applied in a useful way and developed something. Yin and yang so to speak - 
and agreeing a lot with Jody’s point of view.

I also agree with Benoit - data quality and accessibility issues apply to all 
forms of data - which makes good metadata and provenance information critical 
in deciding how to use data that are available (ie, is it possible to find the 
documents describing how the data were made? how can you find QA/QC information 
on the data?).

So what did the OSgeo geodata committee do previously? and what would/could it 
do if it were woken up? (feel free to contact me off list to discuss that)

Cheers, I hope this discussion continues :)

Adam

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

My 3 cents:

1) take another 27 minutes to (re-)enjoy Ton Zijlstra's keynote at FOSS4G.
At that time in the schedule (9 .am, in the morning after the FOSS4G boat trip 
probably missed by some of the attendees, but in his talks Ton challenges the 
geospatial community in general, and the FOSS4G community in spatial to play an 
essential role in leveraging the value of open data to a higher level. 
A bit less laid-back than Arnulf's talk, so it requires probably a bit more of 
your attention ;-)

2) Apart from that, Tim Berners-Lee 5-star system is an almost essential 
ingredient in any talk on open data

3) there's a serious distinction between crowd sourced data such as OSM (which 
is collected with no specific goal in mind) and opening data by local and 
national governments. 
The latter is about data that has been collected for a specific purpose, and is 
now, as open data, brought to a broader audience in order to: 
a) give the tax-payers insight in data-collections (transparancy of governance, 
a merely socio-political goal) and 
b) find out if the same data can fulfil another purpose (either within or 
outside the government, thus a merely economical goal)



Hope this helps!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Bruce Bannerman]

Several years ago, Cameron Shorter and I responded to an Australian
Government Parliamentary Inquiry into opening up access to public sector
data. (8 years now Cameron...)

This was done on behalf of OSGeo AustNZ. See [1].

There is definitely a role for OSGeo in lobbying for access for open data.

It is worth mentioning and referencing national Open Data Policies. I'm

Other nations have similar policies.

Therefore, I would add to your list

I think there is a very strong connection to make between open-source 
and open data.


Open Data is a broad concept that really means "access to data". 
Access is more than just a download, or a license - it also means 
having the tools and methods available for everyone to turn the data 
into something which is relevant to answering specific questions.


It also means that data are available in accessible formats - ones 
that anyone can use without restriction. Though that's not the same as 
'a standard'.


Regarding the Public Geodata Committee, it's worthwhile to consider 
what unique role OSGeo can provide to improve the global and local 
situation. There are numerous catalogs of varying states of quality 
and maintenance - so it's unlikely a need to have /yet another catalog/.


However a few issues that are open questions and could be interesting 
to work on and beneficial to the broader community:


- *Geospatial support of common data catalog formats*. Notably DCAT 
has become prevalent thanks to the development & adoption of CKAN by 
many national governments. The spatial capabilities are nascent, so 
what would OSGeo recommend as better practices. Maybe also consider 
open-source implementations of DCAT publishing and consuming libraries 
so that more tools (e.g. QGIS) could publish or search and consume 
from DCAT-capable catalogs
- *Guides and Patterns for data analysis with spatial tools. *What 
open-source libraries exist that enhance general data analysis tools 
such as R, Python, etc. What are the practices for someone new to 
geospatial who are using these tools find and incorporate geodata into 
their work?
- *Geospatial data formats advocacy. *Stefan Keller is well known to 
pop up in any discussion of the Shapefile to tout the benefits of 
Geopackage. Can we vet that hypothesis and advocate for more 
geospatial tools to produce & consume modern formats like Geopackage?


Having spent the past 10 years focusing my open-source development 
efforts specifically on the publishing, discovery and exploration of 
open data I'm a bit excited about the topic :)

Yes, we must find a way to reactivate the Public Geodata
committee. Perhaps
renaming it as Open Geodata committee would be a start. We also
have a new
"Open Geoscience Committee" [1]  with great work being done in
longterm
archiving of FOSS4G videos, for instance.

What I would suggest is to strengthen tie-ups with OSM,  HOT and
perhaps consider
building something like Data4All, emulating the success of out

Geo4All.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Benoit Fournier]

Maria, all,

I would slightly disagree here, because I think all data can be of
various degrees of quality and freshness.
Maria, I can re-read your entire message with '(any) data' instead if
'open data' and it makes much more sense to me.
Commercial data, paid data, authoritative data, open data, VGI data:
you always need to assess if they are fit for (your) purpose.
Your proposal "Methods and FOSS tools for assessing open data quality"
could convey the false message that only open data needs checking and
has inherent flaws.


On a side note, in the definition aspect, I would take care of splitting:
- 'good' open data: data released by producer, that anyone can read or
re-use (for transparency, accountability and public participation,
support technological innovation and economic growth, new kinds of
digital applications and services, ...)
- 'bad' open data: labelled 'open data' by the producer, but lacking
in: poor format (not structured, proprietary ...), poor quality (data,
metadata, up-to-date, completeness ...), poor access (not searchable,
not documented, fee, ...) ...
- 'more than' open data: people can read AND write, re-use AND
contribute, assess AND improve; this is more free/libre. This is
OpenStreetMap for generic geodata, other VGI for thematic data ...


Best regards.

Benoît

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Jody Garnett]

I have my "welcome
" talk
which covers what we do around here (open data, open standards, open
source, open collaboration).

Open data is a big part of what makes this community awesome.

That said OSGeo originally had open data as part of our mandate (with a
committee etc...). This mandate was scaled back last year, to recognize
that OSGeo is now pursuing open data through relationships with other
communities (such as the open layers community).

So to fit in with your theme, OSM / GeoNames / Natural Earth provide the
"open data" and OSGeo provides the "in action".

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Andrew Turner @ mapufacture]

I think there is a very strong connection to make between open-source and
open data.

Open Data is a broad concept that really means "access to data". Access is
more than just a download, or a license - it also means having the tools
and methods available for everyone to turn the data into something which is
relevant to answering specific questions.

It also means that data are available in accessible formats - ones that
anyone can use without restriction. Though that's not the same as 'a
standard'.

Regarding the Public Geodata Committee, it's worthwhile to consider what
unique role OSGeo can provide to improve the global and local situation.
There are numerous catalogs of varying states of quality and maintenance -
so it's unlikely a need to have *yet another catalog*.

However a few issues that are open questions and could be interesting to
work on and beneficial to the broader community:

- *Geospatial support of common data catalog formats*. Notably DCAT has
become prevalent thanks to the development & adoption of CKAN by many
national governments. The spatial capabilities are nascent, so what would
OSGeo recommend as better practices. Maybe also consider open-source
implementations of DCAT publishing and consuming libraries so that more
tools (e.g. QGIS) could publish or search and consume from DCAT-capable
catalogs
- *Guides and Patterns for data analysis with spatial tools. *What
open-source libraries exist that enhance general data analysis tools such
as R, Python, etc. What are the practices for someone new to geospatial who
are using these tools find and incorporate geodata into their work?
- *Geospatial data formats advocacy. *Stefan Keller is well known to pop up
in any discussion of the Shapefile to tout the benefits of Geopackage. Can
we vet that hypothesis and advocate for more geospatial tools to produce &
consume modern formats like Geopackage?

Having spent the past 10 years focusing my open-source development efforts
specifically on the publishing, discovery and exploration of open data I'm
a bit excited about the topic :)

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Venkatesh Raghavan]

Jachym,

I think it is better to confirm before attributing statements to
someone.

Nobody in his right mind would want Open data out of OSGeo and least of 
all Jeff.

Yes, we must find a way to reactivate the Public Geodata committee. Perhaps
renaming it as Open Geodata committee would be a start. We also have a new
"Open Geoscience Committee" [1]  with great work being done in longterm
archiving of FOSS4G videos, for instance.

What I would suggest is to strengthen tie-ups with OSM,  HOT and perhaps 
consider
building something like Data4All, emulating the success of out 
educational outreach,

Geo4All.

Hi Sanghee,

I know that Codrina Maria Ilie[1] has focused on promoting Open Data, 
and has given some great talks at past FOSS4G events.  She has also been 
the chair of the open data track for many events.  I see her as an OSGeo 
leader in open data, and she would have so many presentations to share 
with you (she was recently part of FOSS4G-Romania as well).

Hi,
Open Geospatial Data, leads to transparency in civil administration. As
seeing is believing. In India we recently avoided a legislation that was in
essence curtailing Freedom in Geospatial data.

Nice to see some discussion on this subject.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

Yes indeed, we are on the same team here.  Since you mentioned my name, 
I tried very hard to make relationships with so many communities 
(remember, at some point I was told that OSGeo was being too inclusive, 
reaching out to too many groups); so it is hard to please everyone.  For 
sure there is more to do, and OSGeo's OpenData committee needs love, 
needs more passionate voices, as I hear in your voice.  Maybe Jachym you 
could kick-start that committee?  Sometimes committees need a little 
nudge, to get things moving again.  Call a meeting of the data 
committee, create an agenda, and set some tasks (it's a good way to get 
things going again).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Arnulf Christl]

Hey Jachym,
maybe that was a misunderstanding. Yes, OSGeo focuses on software but we
also have an official geodata committee (sometimes called Public
Geodata, sometimes Open Geodata):
http://www.osgeo.org/content/projects/geodata.html

It is not active currently but there have been some activities like
signing an Open Letter regarding the INSPIRE Directive and signing an
amicus  brief for an open data court case in California (2012):
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Face_to_Face_Meeting_Seattle_2012

OSGeo supports and partners with OpenStreetMap in several events, some
local chapters support both organizations (like FOSSGIS e.V. in Germany,
currently discussing whether to also become an official OSMF local
chapter).

So yes, some things have been going on but less actively and maybe more
on a reactive basis. Kind of: If somebody approaches OSGeo with a good
cause we are happy to support it.

And Open Data is always a topic on FOSS4G conferences.

Hth,
Arnulf

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo and Open Data?

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Jachym,

Apologies if i do not correctly understand the context/background of the 
discussion. In my humble opinion, OSGeo is software foundation but very much 
involved in open standards, open data  etc   hence we have MoU with OGC etc . 
We should not have silo approach.  Openness is key. Thanks.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Hi Sanghee,
I was told some months ago (and I believe, it was Jeff), that we (OSGeo.org) 
are solely software foundation - therefore we do not care about open data

maybe things have changed?

Dear all,

Can anybody share presentation file about the OSGeo and open data, if any? I’m 
invited to give a keynote talk at ‘Open Data in Action Conference’[1] in Korea 
and I don’t want to make the file from the scratch.

FYI, OSGeo Korea[2], R Korea[3], Open Data Institute(ODI) Seoul[4], Open 
Knowledge(OK) Korea[5] will co-host the event on 15th Nov near Seoul. The main 
theme of the conference is ‘Experiment on Open Data based Society.’ Anybody who 
has similar interest can join this conference.

Kind regards,
신상희
