- overview of open data for humans and machines
- shared data more powerful than closed data
- usable free data magnifies its usefulness
- open data important to economic development (e.g, weather data fueled TV development)
- current generation John Deere tractors driven by open GPS not Farmers Almanac
- satellite data helps with tracking disease vectors
- plant genetic data helps safeguard plant diversity
- important to unlock data in legacy library collections
This conference will help to expand these concepts globally and will encourage adoption of open data concepts governmentally and corporately.
Open data enable the private sector to partner with government. USDA will place as much data as possible on Data.gov.
