I have two special requests for the New Year:
I would love to see more institutions, government sectors, and private entities embracing the principles of Open Data, making datasets publicly available in machine-readable format.
Equally important is helping people to become more aware of the value of their own data and how useful it is when used in an Open Data environment.
It is so important to remember the power of Open Data lies in its use, so the ultimate wish would be to see more innovative applications of Open Data in solving real-world problems and enhancing people’s lives.
