2. Data: everywhere, everybody Production & exploitation has changed – Power of computing, storage, network – More censors, more accurate – Personnal computing – Crowdsourcing seems without limit (ex. cartography) – Outsourcing (private-public sector / private-private)... and will continue to change Personnal censors (green watch) Internet of things Lifelogging... beyond open data « Raw data now » (Tim Berners Lee)

3. If you don't share your data, others will do it for you

Exploring open data consequences Prospective research to explore open data consequences – Are there ways of managing Open Public Data that produce different sets of consequences? – beginning of an ongoing discussion… Early presentation at Picnic conference by Daniel Kaplan http://www.slideshare.net/slidesharefing/open-public-data-future- scenarios Workshops in progress

11. The Dominant Story Large sets of PSI released, raw, mostly free… … Reused by a broad diversity of actors, producing… Transparency and accountability New / improved public services New knowledge and insights Citizen empowerment ▋ Better use of public resources ▋ Less corruption ▋ More trust in government ▋ Better services for the end-users ▋ Growth and innovation ▋ More efficient public agencies ▋ Less redundance ▋ Scientific advancement ▋ Better impact evaluation ▋ Better public decisions in the future ▋ Self-confidence ▋ Social trust ▋ Better data thru citizen feedback ▋ Democratic participation ▋ Service co-design and co-production

12. But isn't this story just as likely? Large sets of PSI released, raw, mostly free… … Reused by a broad diversity of actors, producing… Transparency before accountability Privately-supplied public services Unbeneficial new knowledge Citizen frustration ▋ Endless discussion on individual spending decision ▋ Court trials ▋ Less trust in government ▋ Better services for affluent or community- bound end-users ▋ Gvt. barred from reusing its own data ▋ Privatization of specialized public data producers ▋ Less public data ▋ Scientific advancement ▋ Inflation of impact evaluations ▋ Huge diversity of interpretations ▋ Access to data more difficult due to their privatization ▋ Data reuse reserved for lobbies or entrepreneurs ▋ Highly unequal service levels ▋ Fragmentation of public discussion ▋ Less social trust & participation
