Open Data - explained simply

2
00:00:04,522 --> 00:00:09,942
Every second we create huge amounts of data. Some see just a lot of numbers.

3
00:00:10,021 --> 00:00:13,962
At the same time the data represents our daily experiences:...

4
00:00:13,962 --> 00:00:20,312
...doctor’s visits, commutes, weather conditions and even 
how many parking tickets have been issued on our street.

5
00:00:21,275 --> 00:00:28,835
Most of the data is stored in ways which make it inaccessible. Whereas some information means a huge opportunity.

6
00:00:28,835 --> 00:00:32,860
With open data we can use these numbers and learn from them together.

7
00:00:35,501 --> 00:00:41,191
Is there any connection between rainfall and doctor’s appointments? Or between commute routes and parking tickets?

8
00:00:41,787 --> 00:00:45,167
Using open data we have a chance to find out.

9
00:00:45,589 --> 00:00:50,269
Thanks to open data, entrepreneurs can find new ways to develop their businesses.

10
00:00:50,323 --> 00:00:53,696
Scientists get an better understanding of our world,

11
00:00:53,696 --> 00:00:57,635
while citizens and politicians can make more informed decisions.

12
00:00:57,635 --> 00:01:03,405
Like with England’s project "where does my money go” -­‐ showing people where their taxes get spent.

13
00:01:04,691 --> 00:01:07,961
Anyone can combine open data with private data.

14
00:01:08,111 --> 00:01:12,211
Should you discover something interesting, or create new data that you want to share,

15
00:01:12,521 --> 00:01:15,281
you can do so using tools such as Wikidata.

16
00:01:16,684 --> 00:01:20,684
There are countless benefits to making information more accessable.

17
00:01:20,793 --> 00:01:24,793
Some of the data that is free to access today by rights is stored in places...

18
00:01:25,263 --> 00:01:28,063
... that make it in practice almost inaccessible.

19
00:01:28,092 --> 00:01:30,262
Open data aims to change this.

20
00:01:31,193 --> 00:01:36,553
With standards for handling, storing and accessing data, we can avoid these problems.

21
00:01:37,383 --> 00:01:41,573
Furthermore data owners need to take privacy aspects into account.

22
00:01:42,044 --> 00:01:47,654
They have to ensure that all open data has been made anonymous and that no one’s privacy is threatened.

23
00:01:49,353 --> 00:01:53,623
There has never been more data anytime in our history
than today.

24
00:01:53,632 --> 00:01:55,892
So why not benefit from it together...

25
00:01:55,892 --> 00:01:59,092
... by turning numbers into open data.
