The text of the blog posting (approximate English translation) (Italian text online):
“Welcome to the second round with the heading "Open Links", created to report news, ideas and comments on Open Data and Open Government.
Over the last few days, the issue of releasing the data "has become of great relevance, starting to leave the narrow circle of professionals and on the ForumPA 2010 discussion, was certainly one of the most popular topics They are increasingly more administrations and organisations wishing to undertake policies inspired by the philosophy of Open Data.
1. It seems only right to start Rearviewmirror dedicated to Open Data from Nova 24, May 13, which is entirely available online at: ttp://novareview.ilsole24ore.com/pubblica-amministrazione, it was an important point of departure for future discussions. Council to those interested in the subject, to include in your bookmarks (or feeds) the sites of other friends who, besides me, have contributed to the special: Gigi Cogo, Nicola Mattina, , Matteo Brunati and Titti Cimmino.
2. The need to initiate series of Open Government policies in our country is even more striking in light of the data contained in the Report 2010 of the United Nations on the status of e-government in the world (whose full text is available here). Again, data for Italy are not exciting (38th place at a distance from the countries occupying the top positions); particularly interesting is the section on the Open Data model that discusses the economic benefits may gain from the release of their data in times of crisis.
3. Point out the interesting article Goodbye Gordon Brown: but thanks for the date ... and the campaign goes on, published on the blog Free Your Data (an initiative of the popular "Guardian"), which acknowledges that the change of majority in the United Kingdom does not mean that (as often happens in Italy) the project of the old government will be dropped on the contrary, the new government intends to strengthen the initiatives already in place and to release more data.
4. Data.gov Pretty advanced for a One-Year-Old, post Vivek Kundra Blog of the Open Initiative, which reviews the status of the project since one year and begins to speak of a "phase 2 ", throwing a real consultatio non twitter.
Finally, we point out this video of Tim Berners Lee, recorded at the last TEDUniversity 2010 (and subtitled in Italian), in which one year by the now famous "raw data now", are shown a bit 'interesting results that can arise once the data are published and put into the relationship between them.
This and the "Italian way Open Gov" and his friend Gigi Cogo I will speak Monday, May 24, at 16:30 on Radio24 during transmission Novalab guests Luke Tremolada. Good listening and until the next post.”
