Definition of Open (ODI) Open data is data that is made available by organizations, businesses and individuals for anyone to access, use and share. ● Open data has to have a license that says it is open data. Without a license, the data can’t be reused. The license might also say: – that people who use the data must credit whoever is publishing it (this is called attribution) – that people who mix the data with other data have to also release the results as open data (this is called share-alike)
- 13. Definition of Open Data Open Data is accessible public data that people, companies and organizations can use to launch new ventures, analyze patterns and trends, make data-driven decisions, and solve complex problems. http://www.opendatanow.com/book-open-data-now/ ISBN-10: 0071829776 ISBN-13: 978-0071829779

- 42. Types of personal data Open personal data Data about people not a person Available to anyone Has been anonymised e.g. number of people attending event, gender split, age ranges. (bigger numbers are better!) Available personal data Data about a person Available to the person only! Often known as MiData e.g. credit scores, energy and other consumption data. Personal data Data about a person which is neither open nor available. Might belong to you or be collected by a company.
