friday lunchtime lecture: open data roadmap for the uk – where do you want to go first?
DESCRIPTION
The ODI released its ‘Open data roadmap for the UK’ in December 2014, with steps the next UK Government can take to continue to make progress on open data. As the General Election draws closer, we’re starting to dig into the details behind the roadmap and open it up for public consultation.What would a Chief Data Officer for the UK look like? How can we use the National Information Infrastructure to plan for the future?Listen back on this engaging and fun session exploring the drivers behind the roadmap and some of its key priorities.Ellen Broad is Policy Lead at the Open Data Institute, where her role is to distill knowledge and expertise from across the ODI’s team and help to influence government policy, advise government and the private sector on how to capitalise on open data, and engage wider communities on issues affecting access to and reuse of data.Our videos: bit.ly/odi_vimeoOur photos: bit.ly/odi_flickrOur audio: bit.ly/odi_soundcloudOur slides: bit.ly/odi_scribdOur tweets: bit.ly/ODIHQ_tweetsOur website: theodi.orgODI Summit videos: bit.ly/odisummit_videoWhat is open data?: bit.ly/what-is-open-dataTRANSCRIPT

we really meant it, when we said we wanted to be the most transparent government ever

start doing dicult things with departmental budgets.
Francis Maude at Institute for Government, December 2014
