Many organizations
Many data sets
Low level of coordination
Low level of standardization
Low level of communication
Difficulties for studies, management, monitoring, ...
 time & money consuming

5. But before sharing data we need :
Data (and even more: up to date data)
Tools (interoperability)
Collaboration between data producers
Political agreement
And if possible, all together !
At the beginning (2005) we have decided to priorize :
Collaboration between data producers
Build the technical system (server / clients / databases / networks)
And in a second time, progressively :
Work on the data
Build the political understanding

Special link with government :
Allow some coordination (without hierarchical authority)
Allow political sensibilization
Special link with informatic dpt :
To implement the technical solution (server side)
To insert the solution inside the global infrastructure

7. The results On the collaborative axis :
Many working groups, which now deal also with data quality
Publication of a magazine which is widely distributed
Data producers are proud to have their data in the system (security, visibility, accessibility, ...)
All the data are in the central system
communications
working group
happy user
Projet web2.0
(social network)
intranet

15. And about « data accessibility » ?
All of this is not enough
We still need to have a general policy on data access
