5. OPEN DATA

6. Good (economic) 6
In economics, a good is a material that satisfies
human wants[1] and provides utility, for example, to a consumer
making a purchase. A common distinction is made between
'goods' that are tangible property (also called goods) and services,
which are non-physical.[2] Commodities may be used as
a synonym for economic goods but often refer to marketable raw
materials and primary products.[3]
Although in economic theory all goods are considered tangible, in
reality certain classes of goods, such as information, only
take intangible forms. For example, among other goods
an apple is a tangible object, while news belongs to an intangible
class of goods and can be perceived only by means of an
instrument such as print, broadcast or computer.
