The FAQ: Questions and Answers states under the question: What is it all about?
Det handler om, at vi gerne vil vise gennem virkelige eksempler, hvordan offentlige data kan bruges til meget mere og af mange flere, end de bliver i dag. Vi tror, at Danmarks virksomheder, organisationer, studerende, iværksættere og almindelige kreative borgere kan skabe nyttige digitale tjenester og informationsrige mash-ups, som vi i den offentlige sektor slet ikke har fantasi til at forestille os. Derfor har videnskabsminister Helge Sander udskrevet idékonkurrencen Offentlige Data I Spil, hvor de bedste idéer til løsninger præmieres med økonomisk støtte til realisering af idéerne.
It's about that we want to demonstrate through real examples of how public data can be used for much more and much more numerous than they are today. We believe that Danish companies, organizations, students, entrepreneurs and ordinary creative people can create useful digital services and information-rich mash-ups, which we in the public sector do not have the imagination to imagine. Therefore, the science minister Helge Sander printed Ideas Competition government data in games where the best ideas for solutions rewarded with financial support for realization of ideas.
The competition is open to all not just Danes as long as the rules are complied with!
