Sharing with anyone interested in open data / open gov.
When reading posts on osdc about open data and open gov, I'm always
impressed by the examples given from the US or countries like the UK.
Why? Read this:
http://openstate.eu/2013/08/open-data-netherlands-less-than-we-thought/
I live in the Netherlands, and from my own experience working as civil
servant at my own municipality, I know the numbers in that post ought to
be correct. We have so much data, but we do not seem to share it. Makes
me wonder each time, why not. Lack of motivation, drive?
To explain one example, mentioned at the end of the post, only 8
municipalities share data. That, while there are just over 400
municipalities in the Netherlands.
