<p>It is worth mentioning and referencing national Open Data
Policies. I'm familiar with the Australian Open Data Policy:</p>

<p>In my opinion another relevant topic is open data and its
quality, i.e. methods and tools for assessing open data
quality.</p>
<p>Some data has metadata quality, some data has not.</p>
<p>Before using them we have to be sure that the characteristics
of the data fit our exigences. For instance open data are
useless if they are not updated or they are bad quality.</p>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">I think there is a very strong connection to
make between open-source and open data.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Open Data is a broad concept that really means
"access to data". Access is more than just a download,
or a license - it also means having the tools and
methods available for everyone to turn the data into
something which is relevant to answering specific
questions. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It also means that data are available in accessible
formats - ones that anyone can use without restriction.
Though that's not the same as 'a standard'. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regarding the Public Geodata Committee, it's
worthwhile to consider what unique role OSGeo can
provide to improve the global and local situation. There
are numerous catalogs of varying states of quality and
maintenance - so it's unlikely a need to have
<i>yet another catalog</i>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However a few issues that are open questions and
could be interesting to work on and beneficial to the
broader community:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- <b>Geospatial support of common data catalog
formats</b>. Notably DCAT has become prevalent thanks
to the development & adoption of CKAN by many
national governments. The spatial capabilities are
nascent, so what would OSGeo recommend as better
practices. Maybe also consider open-source
implementations of DCAT publishing and consuming
libraries so that more tools (e.g. QGIS) could publish
or search and consume from DCAT-capable catalogs</div>
<div>- <b>Guides and Patterns for data analysis with
spatial tools. </b>What open-source libraries exist
that enhance general data analysis tools such as R,
Python, etc. What are the practices for someone new to
geospatial who are using these tools find and
incorporate geodata into their work?</div>
<div>- <b>Geospatial data formats advocacy. </b>Stefan
Keller is well known to pop up in any discussion of the
Shapefile to tout the benefits of Geopackage. Can we vet
that hypothesis and advocate for more geospatial tools
to produce & consume modern formats like Geopackage?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Having spent the past 10 years focusing my
open-source development efforts specifically on the
publishing, discovery and exploration of open data I'm a
bit excited about the topic :)</div>

I think it is better to confirm before attributing
statements to<br>
someone. <br>
<br>
Nobody in his right mind would want Open data out
of OSGeo and least of all Jeff.
<br>
Yes, we must find a way to reactivate the Public
Geodata committee. Perhaps <br>
renaming it as Open Geodata committee would be a
start. We also have a new <br>
"Open Geoscience Committee" [1] with great work
being done in longterm<br>
archiving of FOSS4G videos, for instance.<br>
<br>
What I would suggest is to strengthen tie-ups with
OSM, HOT and perhaps consider
<br>
building something like Data4All, emulating the
success of out educational outreach,
<br>
Geo4All. <br>

<pre>Hi Jachym,
I have given talks on OSGeo and open data. I am sorry to hear that you
believe I said that about the foundation. I do believe we've discussed
this in face-to-face board meetings before, so maybe that is where you
heard this? I remember a discussion of adding open data into our
foundation's mission statement, which I believe we did.

I was told some months ago (and I believe, it was Jeff), that we
(OSGeo.org) are solely software foundation - therefore we do not care
about open data
maybe things have changed?

Dear all,
Can anybody share presentation file about the OSGeo and open data,
if any? I’m invited to give a keynote talk at ‘Open Data in Action
Conference’[1] in Korea and I don’t want to make the file from the
scratch.
FYI, OSGeo Korea[2], R Korea[3], Open Data Institute(ODI) Seoul[4],
Open Knowledge(OK) Korea[5] will co-host the event on 15th Nov near
Seoul. The main theme of the conference is ‘Experiment on Open Data
based Society.’ Anybody who has similar interest can join this
conference.
Kind regards,
신상희
