“Being right too soon” is often legally challenging...
Story that dates back to 2010
2010: Yeri Tiete received a Cease & Desist from NMBS/SNCB
2012: Open Knowledge Belgium was founded to defend rights and shield personal liability too
2015: Yeri hired by Fedict to help startups reuse Open Data
2016: NMBS/SNCB admits to have been on the ‘wrong side’ of history
Data exhaust: “All of the related data generated by digital activities.”
● Consists of virtual trails left behind, similar to the exhaust from a vehicle, a byproduct that reveals the trail it has taken.
● Tells good stories about habits and preferences.
● The reuse of open data sets often generates more insights and even unexpected policy advice...
E.g., iRail API usage statistics
Status of the EU PSI-legislation adoption in Belgium
● The new European Directive on the re-use of public sector information (PSI) had to be adopted by all EU member states prior to July 2015…
● Belgium is late, but almost there too…● Setting standard with ‘open by default’
policy!
