Liveblog, ODCamp5,

A very warm (and windy) welcome from Belfast, where we’re just getting underway with Open Data Camp 5. The pitches are about to begin…

  • Open registers – and connecting them to GPs
  • Every Politician – why WikiData is the future of it.
  • Open data impact: measurement, demand drives, supporting bodies and standardisation.
