- 8. Current Challenges for Open Data Platforms Metadata schemas : how to classify information so that it can be retrieved Full API and SaaS operation: automated, direct input and publication of open data “from the source” Citizens providing open data themselves Novel ways of visualisation for open / linked data Build ecosystems around open data, for sharing and usage that can make our lives better, for real
- 9. Open data, collaborative governance and ICT will be key pillars of the new, value-based administration in this century Open data and applications can play an important role for entrepreneurship and development European Union member states, having already adopted a collaborative governance example, can now partner and work together with Gov 2.0 initiatives internationally In the Greek Interoperability Centre and the University of AEGEAN we can leverage on European experiences and best practices, delivering them worldwide
