Open Data at XTech
Posted by Paul Miller at February 16, 2007 02:48 PM
Like my colleague Ian Davis, I was pleased to hear that my presentation proposal for this year's XTech conference has been accepted.
My proposal offered;
“‘Open Data’ has been a track at XTech for some time, but has gained broader traction over the past 12-18 months as individuals and organisations grapple with its implications to the business models of (often large) incumbents.
Moving beyond the religious dogma around the ‘rightness’ of open access to data, how do existing players and new entrants balance the possibly rising costs of data provision and storage against the lost revenue streams from subscriptions and lock-ins?
Drawing upon the experiences of an organisation that is going through a migration from subscription to open participation, this paper explores some of the realities behind Open Data, and offers pointers to ways in which the ideal can be delivered, sustainably and repeatedly.”
I look forward to sharing some of these ideas with those of you who make the trip to Paris in May.
