Open Data Camp 7 is underway — and this time, we’re in London. With rain driving outside, the Geovation offices are bright and buzzy, and a new wave of campers is waiting to pitch sessions.
Here’s what’s being offered for today:
- Sparql 101 – hands on session for linked data
- Decolonising data – colonising hasn’t ended for some countries. For example, Nigeria only became independent in 1960 – that impacts on the data sets
- So you want to start an open data business? Learn and share.
- Where does stuff come from – and where does it go? Data for supply and waste chains.
- What is non-commercial when it comes to database licences? A discussion.
- What should we teach the kids about data?
- How do we open a toilet data set? Business models for data providers.
- Metadata, especially qualitative metadata – how do we communicate bias and make it somewhat machine readable?
- We all want more open data – are we as a community able to quantify the value of opening data, and reporting that up the chain?
- Wardley maps and data
- Data can be hard to find – how can the publishers make it easier?
- How do you build a data ecosystem in a low tech environment? (Working with small charities and organisations)
- “I can’t make it open, it’s a safety thing!” – what’s the best responses to that?
- Community-led open data platforms – can we have multiple owners? What’s the best model?
- Bad data (collection of) – some data is very badly collected, and presented as being better than it is…
- Data and open data strategy campfire.
- Sorting out configuration so we can get on with doing cool stuff
- CSV on the web – let’s talk about this standard
- Open data is important to fact-checking – how could they work better together?
- Can we use open data to contribute to combatting climate change?
- How can publishers keep in contact with consumers better?
