This document discusses open data strategies in Amsterdam. It notes that while civil servants recognize the importance of open data, many do not understand specific government open data initiatives or benefits. It also notes that open data is controversial for local governments due to legacy ICT focus and vendor interpretation issues. The document then outlines current open data catalysts and tools in Amsterdam, including EU projects involving code for Europe, open cities repositories, and city SDKs. It discusses how EU projects have helped stimulate Amsterdam's open data program and impact through awareness raising, funding, and introducing open source and standards concepts. The document advocates for strong open data lobbying, capturing opportunities through Horizon 2020 and Eurocities, and encouraging cities to develop open data ecosystems and move toward open

- 5. Open Data Controversial for Local Governments Open Data chances are unrevealed for governments. Because of ICT legacy focus, Vendor- and Open Data Interpretation Illiteracy Who to choose? What to choose? Huge range of non proprietary and proprietary systems. -ODP Open Data Partnership -Open Data Institute -Open Knowledge Foundation
- 6. Vocabularies Policy Makers “What is the evidence that we should release datasets?” “How many start ups have been created since we launched the first datasets” “Can Open Data repair a market failure, inefficiency?”
- 8. Current open data catalysts (non-proprietary*)

- 26. Open Data Ecosystem Innovation Intermediaries ICT tools, Funding, community
- 27. Open Data Evolution in Amsterdam • In 2010 hackers, innovation labs and SME’s, web entrepreneurs requested the first datasets • 28 datasets open in 2011 • >350 datasets open in 2014 • 2010 – 0 euro budget • 2013 – 1,5 M euro budget –EU • 2014- lobby for 1 M eur local resources and many EU project bids • From 2013 Open Data Program – by Amsterdam Economic Board
- 28. • Awareness creation about the ‘treasures behind open data’ • Agenda setting in Open Data Local Governance (in Ams now budget allocation for hiring 4 full time employee) • Bringing evidences , user cases on interoperable and non-proprietary smart open data solutions Spin-off effects of the EU demonstrator projects
- 29. • Fresh injections of most state of art ICT solutions, trends (GitHub repositories, Open Source visualization tools) into city halls • Introducing the concept of “Commons”, “Standards”, “civic coders”, “hackers”, “tech grassroots” • Diving into an exclusive Open Data Catalysts- Smart Cities network (Enoll, World Bank, OKF, ODI, Future Cities Catapult, NESTA) Spin-off effects of the EU demonstrator projects
- 30. Strong Open Data lobby needed: -extern financing -entrepreneurship & freedom for experimentations -create Open Data ecosystem in your city (label) -Capture chances on Horizon2020, EUROCITIES partner finding
- 31. Best Practices Open Data • 30 apps have been launched (face recognition by portrays) • High educational impact • Positive PR for the museum • Reach of new younger target group https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/api -110.000 high resolution photo’s of the collection
- 33. Beyond Open Data – Business Generation
- 34. 2012 – Focus of App Contest: The more the better….
- 35. • 3 start ups coaching • +300 datasets • Participation in Apps4EU • +50 civic apps 2013 – Less apps more business incubation
- 36. Community: Appsterdam- 2600 developers have joined up
- 37. Appsterdam- 2600 developers have joined up
- 38. Understand Open Data dynamics
- 39. Open Data Observations 1. Open Data Catalysts are strongly dependent on external financing and networking (role for Enoll, Connected Smart Cities)- Liberate open data agents! 2. Vocabularies match between policy makers and open data catalyst 3. Produce user cases to discover the enormous underexploited value of data 4. Watch out with corporate Big Data providers 5. Encourage cities to move toward Commons, peer reviewed open data vendors
