Open Data Camp 6 in Aberdeen opened with the ever popular (totally essential and very informative) ‘open data for newbies’ session.
And it started with a question: “Who knows what open data is?”
Participants decided the critical answers are that: it is data that can be made public (so not personal data); that is available free (or near free) for other people to use; and that is properly licensed as such.
Also, that it should be easily and available and consumable; although there is considerable debate about what that means.
