If you are hearing sound bites about Open Data but you are unsure what it means, or what the opportunity might be, then this is the event for you!


Open Data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other control. Open Data is being driven by Government initiatives to publish the data that has previously been held in the data ‘siloes’ in various public sector organisations. Joining this data together, or combining it with commercial software products, should deliver economic value, but what are the risks and what are the potential rewards? This event will answer these questions and more besides.


The Open Data Workshop event will be attended by technology decision-makers from the Government sector who see the opportunity to solve problems of the future through the Open Data initiative. The major highlights of this seminar will include:


· Public Sector Success Stories – Hear how DUBlinked’s Innovation Network is developing solutions to the problems that face Dublin City.
· Learn why Nathean Technologies (Ireland) is adapting its product set to Open Data.
· Learn how Placr (UK) is bringing research-led innovation in location technology to market.
· Unique Networking Opportunity - ISA member organisations specialising in Open Data will be available to meet with you, to discuss your future requirements and exchange views in relation to the usage of this technology.
· Open Data Experts in Conversation - Leading Open Data solutions specialists and academics will participate in an interactive panel discussion, and will field any questions that you may have on the day.
