Why is social data important? 
“the internet is changing 
the way we think” [Al Gore] 
Data as culture 
→ ubiquitous data changes human behavior 
Innovation 
→ shift from products to services 
→ transform services (e.g. MOOC, crowd) 
→ data-driven decision-making 
→ entirely new interactions
What is social data? 
Population 
Education 
Health 
Law 
Crime 
Housing 
Transportation and travel 
Media & publications 
User-generated content 
Personal data-shadows
Why is environmental data important? 
“I got it wrong on climate change 
– it's far, far worse” [Nicholas Stern] 
Investment and growth 
→ energy supply, grids and efficiency markets 
→ analytics at-scale to assess risk and insurance 
Governance and accountability 
→ transparency increases accountability & competition 
Scarcity 
→ effective resource management 
→ systemic changes in supply-chain management
What is environmental data? 
Maps / geographic 
Terrain / land-use 
Weather / climate 
Water / hydrographic 
Farming / species 
Pollution / ecosystems 
Materials / resource scarcity
Why is economic data important? 
“Transparency drives prosperity” 
[Open Government Partnership] 
Stimulate investment 
→ transparent rules-based commercial environments attract investment 
→ make companies (both domestic and international) more competitive 
Improve governance and accountability 
→ fiscal transparency increases accountability and is self-enforcing 
→ shift to data-intensive, regulation-light environments can stimulate growth 
Reduce corruption 
→ wide participation and systemic changes affect everyone 
→ create a “race to the top”
What is economic data? 
Corporate ownership 
Corporate tax 
Public sector transactions 
Peer-to-peer lending 
Open procurement 
Market information (e.g. commodities) 
Asset registers (e.g. stranded assets) 
Supply-chain transactions 
Personal spending
What is the global political context?
“a new era in which people can use open data 
to generate insights, ideas, and services 
to create a better world for all” 
G8 Open Data Charter 2013
“Openness will strengthen our democracy 
and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government” 
President Obama 
“Data is the new oil of the Internet 
and the new currency of the digital world” 
European Consumer Commissioner, Meglena Kuneva 
“Open Data is at the heart of my agenda for Government” 
UK Prime Minister, David Cameron
Many countries, regions and cities are opening data
It’s not just political …

“Data as Culture” – opening up the conversation 
What is open data? What is its meaning? How is it used? 
Where is it found? What is its impact on society? 
As data is opened up, its interpretation must be reflected 
back to us from many angles - how can we do this? 
… 17 artists, 8 new art commissions
ODI Data as Culture – millions reached 
Public talks 
TED Global, British Library, Universities, Cabinet Office 
Events, exhibitions and workshops
