92. Open Data

93. Open Data
Open data is the idea that certain data should be freely
available to everyone to use and republish as they wish,
without restrictions from copyright, patents or other
mechanisms of control.
The goals of the open data movement are similar to those
of other "Open" movements such as open source, open
content, and open access.
(open data, open standards, and open source)

94. Open Data
• “We-Government” (seems oriented towards
“gadgetization”)
• “App” fever (which requires a particular
economy)
And/or:
• Vigilancia Ciudadana (Citizens monitoring)
• Denuncia (Denunciation)
• Knowledge interaction

99. Open Data can allow us to generate
new arguments and develop specific
applications (software, strategies,
mechanisms) through an “open
processing” of information
