Building Open Data Platforms, an Insider's Perspective

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Open data projects here are concrete: dozens of Swedish city and national datasets were published as CSV/Excel or simple APIs, not full OAuth platforms, and the UK hosts about 18,500 datasets. Election results released as timed CSVs enabled journalists to build maps and visualizations immediately, proving the approach works; weather data supports a US ecosystem worth millions to billions. Practical checklist: choose formats for your users, aim for internal savings and PR, and skip API keys for unrestricted data.
