9. The state of data at a local level in the UK
1. Data is incoherent
2. The value of data being shared is not
embedded within organisations

12. Open Data & Lithuania
- There is no official open data initiative
or mandating policy document in
Lithuania
- Still very low awareness on key
concepts surrounding open data
+ Opening data is one of the OGP
commitments in 2014
+ A modest number of interesting reuse
efforts – Lithuania is an excellent place
to experiment

13. Who owns Lithuanian media (www.stirna.info)?
(remember, we’re neighboring Russia)

OPEN DATA
Where is Portugal?

21. PORTUGAL IS OPENNING UP… BUT…
!
Number of open data portals are growing in the public sector.
!
!
There’s a long way to go in what regards data quality.
!
!
Citizens, public administration, and politicians in general, still don’t
see data’s value.

22. What?
A statistical portrait of Portugal
!
When?
It started february 2010
!
What for?
Provides citizens with good, reliable, and easy to visualize statistical
information about Portugal, Europe and portuguese municipalities.
!
How?
Using statistical data from good and reliable oficial sources, grouping it
in more intelegible ways, and working on it’s visualization.

24. I TALY
• Diverse, committed, skilful
community!
• Flagship projects like OpenCoesione
and OpenMunicipio
• Administrative fragmentation –
difficult to get national coverage
• Authorities quick to legislate, but
slow to specify tech details and
guidelines
