RE: [odcgeneralstewardslist] IODC+ DATA ROADMAPS: Gov of Mex on Bundled Commitment on IODC & National Consultation/Roadmap on the Data Revolution for Sustainable Development

Super!  That's 2 out of 4.

Katelyn, could you put us in touch with whomever is "running" CKAN at Open
Knowledge Foundation to see if they would be interested in joining Junar
and NuCivic in their support of Open Data Standard Metadata to measure
aggregate utilization?

Thanks Andrew!


Best Regards,

Steve

Steve, Phil, Diego,

Count us in.  This seems to us extremely important work, and we'd like to
roll up our sleeves and help, and to support natively in DKAN any
new Dataset Usage Vocabulary that may be established.

Best,
Andrew

Great.  We are happy to share our Vocabulary draft with Junar and hope
that NuCivic, Socrata, and CKAN will also participate.  Furthermore, we
hope that members of the Open Data Charter Stewardship Group will also
provide input.

Thanks Diego!

Hi all,

I do agree in the importance of talking about OD utilization, statistics,
metadata and more. Just let me know if there is any call or any specific
question we can work on to help.

Have a great day,

Thanks a lot for helping us to share and promote our activities on
the Dataset Usage Vocab. We are working on a new version of the vocab and
as soon as a more stable version is available, we're  gonna share
this with the group.

We aim to produce a vocab that's gonna be really  helpful and for this It
is important to gather feedback from the community!

cheers,

Great points.  I hope those on copy will work with us (W3C) to make sure
our Vocabulary standards have immediate real world impact.

for Sustainable Development



The motivation behind developing the Dataset Usage Vocab is to avoid
publishers putting their data behind a registration step. I was talking
to someone this week about the EU's Copernicus data - a huge trove of
satellite imagery that the EC trumpets as a great example of open data.
She was a little non-plussed when I said that, since you have to login
and fill in a form that tells them what you plan to do with the data, it
can't be called open.

So the idea is to create not only a vocab but an incentive for data
re-users to publish info about what they've used and what they've sued
it for. I see two incentives:

- discovery (think schema.org);
- encouraging the publisher to keep on publishing.

Being able to 'ask the Web' who's using my data and what is it being
used for would be good.

This has some resonance with the research world's activities like
DataCite, CrossRef etc.

Phil.

The paper he referred to was commissioned to<br>&gt; keeping on exploring the &quot;Use&quot; element.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I was also intrigued about the use of household surveys and met with the<br>&gt; World Justice Project team earlier this year to learn more about their<br>&gt; method. They work with local/regional companies and survey thousands of<br>&gt; people. Besides what Tim mentioned above, two more issues come to mind:<br>&gt; time requirements and cost. Pew's and WPJ's product are not cheap and WPJ's<br>&gt; needs 2 years per round. Complexity of the ODB itself has increased<br>&gt; already. For example, we have introduced this year government<br>&gt; self-assessments as a new data collection component.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I believe we all certainly need to improve how we measure &quot;Use&quot; but also<br>&gt; keeping in mind the perfect might be the enemy of the good.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I'm copying my colleague Carlos as he's currently managing the ODB and our<br>&gt; work on the CAF and may have something else to add.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; IIRC, we have organized sessions at the last several conferences on this<br>&gt; topic and we might want to do so again soon, maybe in the context of the<br>&gt; OGP ODWG meeting at the OGP Summit or on the sides of it as I believe most<br>&gt; of us will be there.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; Best,<br>&gt; Josema.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt; 2015-09-09 10:12 GMT+02:00 Tim Davies &lt;tim@practicalparticipation.co.uk&gt;:<br>&gt;    This is a really important debate: and if finding good methods for<br>&gt;    assessing levels of open data use would be very valuable.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    Across the components of the Common Assessment Method for Open Data usage<br>&gt;    is the least surveyed - in part due to the complexity of finding good<br>&gt;    robust sampling strategies.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    Surveys: Reflecting on Steve's suggestions around surveys:<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    The best examples we probably have of large scale survey work in this<br>&gt;    area is either from the Pew Internet Project, which has a single-country<br>&gt;    US survey capturing American's awareness of Open Government Initiatives (<br>&gt;    </tt><tt><a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/04/21/open-government-data/">http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/04/21/open-government-data/</a></tt><tt>), and then<br>&gt;    the World Justice Project's multi-country survey of major cities, which<br>&gt;    included a number of questions for their Open Government Index (<br>&gt;    </tt><tt><a href="http://data.worldjusticeproject.org/opengov/">http://data.worldjusticeproject.org/opengov/</a></tt><tt>) relating to citizen<br>&gt;    perceptions around their use of Right to Information mechanisms.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    However, particularly when it comes to getting cross-country comparison<br>&gt;    data that is sensitive specifically to open data, as opposed to the<br>&gt;    presence of an app economy or civic technology in general, it can be very<br>&gt;    difficult to frame definitions in surveys in ways that produce reliable<br>&gt;    and comparable data.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    One of the issues faced in the Open Data Barometer's 'Impact' method,<br>&gt;    which broadly combines a measure of use and impact (asking about the<br>&gt;    presence of stories of open data having an impact in particular<br>&gt;    settings), is that countries that spend more resource capturing case<br>&gt;    studies of use may score higher than countries who have more cases of<br>&gt;    use, but where those cases are less well documented or promoted. Re-use<br>&gt;    that doesn't result in high-profile apps and websites is particularly<br>&gt;    likely to be missed by both expert and public-perception surveys.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    From a robust evidence point of view, it's would also be important I<br>&gt;    think to have independent sampling and data collection: making it tricky<br>&gt;    to put govts in the middle of asking citizens to fill out surveys.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    Other approaches: Two other approaches which might be useful here:<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    (1) Refining 'data availability' metrics. As Daniel notes, most of our<br>&gt;    measures of data openness right now are not sensitive enough to data<br>&gt;    quality.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    There is some interesting work on domain-specific measures of quality<br>&gt;    (e.g. Open Data Watch Inventory - capturing levels of disaggregation in<br>&gt;    nationals stats:<br>&gt;    </tt><tt><a href="http://www.opendatawatch.com/Pages/Open-Data-Inventory.aspx">http://www.opendatawatch.com/Pages/Open-Data-Inventory.aspx</a></tt><tt>), and finding<br>&gt;    metrics that indicate how re-usable a dataset is likely to be (<br>&gt;    </tt><tt><a href="http://www.opendataresearch.org/dl/symposium2015/odrs2015-paper60.pdf">http://www.opendataresearch.org/dl/symposium2015/odrs2015-paper60.pdf</a></tt><tt>).<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    I've been interested in exploring whether we can find efficient methods<br>&gt;    for use-case driven testing of the practical openness of datasets to<br>&gt;    replace/complement the current check-list approaches used in the Open<br>&gt;    Data Barometer and Index.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    (2) Finding and evidencing good proxy variables.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    The Open Data Barometer includes variables on civil society capacity, and<br>&gt;    private sector ICT capacity, in part because it hypothesises that these<br>&gt;    are important ingredients of enabling re-use.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    It would be worth testing this in a number of contexts, and exploring<br>&gt;    whether there are other better proxy variables to capture factors aside<br>&gt;    from data quality which are strongly associated with the presence of open<br>&gt;    data re-use in a country.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    ---<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    All the best<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    Tim<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;    On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 4:07 AM, Steven Adler &lt;adler1@us.ibm.com&gt; wrote:<br>&gt;     Great.  The normal way to measure utilization is through consumer<br>&gt;     preference, but that requires a menu of different consumer choices with<br>&gt;     price discovery.  We have a free commodity with few market alternatives,<br>&gt;     therefore our only option is to survey consumer opinions of open data<br>&gt;     quality, relevance, and value.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     Not very sophisticated but it works if we can develop a short survey and<br>&gt;     get governments to ask users to fill it out anonymously to generate<br>&gt;     reasonable sample sizes.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     What do people think about this?<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     Best Regards,<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     Steve Adler<br>&gt;     IBM<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     Daniel Dietrich --- Re: [odcgeneralstewardslist] IODC+ DATA ROADMAPS:<br>&gt;     Gov of Mex on Bundled Commitment on IODC &amp; National Consultation/Roadmap<br>&gt;     on the Data Revolution for Sustainable Development ---<br>&gt;<br>&gt;   From:  &quot;Daniel Dietrich&quot; &lt;daniel.dietrich@okfn.org&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;   To:    &quot;Steven Adler&quot; &lt;adler1@us.ibm.com&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;   Cc:    &quot;Barbara Ubaldi&quot; &lt;Barbara.UBALDI@oecd.org&gt;, &quot;Jose Manuel Alonso&quot; &lt;<br>&gt;          josema@webfoundation.org&gt;, &quot;Marcio Vasconcelos&quot; &lt;<br>&gt;          Marcio.Vasconcelos@avina.net&gt;, &quot;<br>&gt;          ODCstewardslist@opendatacharter.net&quot; &lt;<br>&gt;          odcstewardslist@opendatacharter.net&gt;, &quot;sumandro&quot; &lt;<br>&gt;          sumandro@cis-india.org&gt;, &quot;&quot; &lt;ZeitzPS@state.gov&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;   Date:  Tue, Sep 8, 2015 6:08 PM<br>&gt;<br>&gt;   Subjec Re: [odcgeneralstewardslist] IODC+ DATA ROADMAPS: Gov of Mex on<br>&gt;   t:     Bundled Commitment on IODC &amp; National Consultation/Roadmap on the<br>&gt;          Data Revolution for Sustainable Development<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;     This is a great point! At Open Knowledge we have thought about (but not<br>&gt;     yet found an answer) on how to add the user perspective to the Open Data<br>&gt;     Index, as we have found that some countries actually score relatively<br>&gt;     high in the OD index and OD barometer, but when you go and ask potential<br>&gt;     re-users in those countries they will tell you that the data published<br>&gt;     is actually useless for their work, as its lacks quality (including but<br>&gt;     not limited to: high level of aggregation, missing details<br>&gt;     (itemisation), low granularity, not timely, not updated, no historic<br>&gt;     data for comparison, etc). However it is very hard to capture this kind<br>&gt;     of feedback into an index, as these are individual statements for<br>&gt;     individual use-cases. However not having this perspective the actual<br>&gt;     indexes sometimes draw a misleading picture for some countries.<br>&gt;     Interested to hear other people thoughts.
