Keeping in Sync as We Open Up
Strategic_Plan
Start: 2013-08-29, Publication: 2013-08-30 Source: http://blog.opengovpartnership.org/2013/08/keeping-in-sync-as-we-open-up/?goback=%2Egde_2076501_member_269704989#%21
If the promise of a rich open data ecosystem is collective wisdom greater than any individual data set can provide, and the
tools and rules for reliable linkages are well underway, what does this opportunity demand of us -- as campaigners, NGOs,
techies and funding groups? What must we do to help bring this crowdsourced picture into clearer focus? And what are the essential
elements to making sure that data-driven collaboration will flourish among all groups?... while it's vital for transparency
groups and governments to continue opening and disseminating data, we must also create strong channels of ongoing collaboration
-- not among systems but among people.
What remains to be seen is how well we as advocates for increased data-sharing and data-driven collaboration can align our
own sharing and collaboration. Can we work together regularly, toward measurable ends, and create a functional data commons
that uses linked data sets to reveal more than any single group's information can show?

Stakeholder(s):
- Transparency and Accountability Initiative: This post originally appeared on The Transparency and Accountability Initiative website. http://tech.transparency-initiative.org/keeping-in-sync-as-we-open-up/
- Transparency Groups: Transparency and accountability groups like our own are investing staff time, research, and money to join this open data revolution.
This moment of innovation may resemble earlier milestones for technology and advocacy, but we need to keep the particular
challenges of open data in mind, and to clearly define our responsibilities in the creation of a vibrant, reliable open data
ecosystem.
