www.donau-uni.ac.at

Costs

• Open Government Data is an infrastructure measure

• Organizational costs: changed responsibilities and new required channels of collaboration between public sector departments

adaption of IT processes

Forces of Power

• Administration gives Data o the Public– Data about events– Sold tickets and attendants– Web site statistics– Funding

• The public delivers answers– At which time get the most tickets sold?– Which parts of a web site attract the most visitors?– Who (age, gender) is provided the highest amounts

funding?

Art in Context of Open Data

Some people look at the abundance of urban data out there and see an academic research

paper.

Others maybe see a table or a graph or a chart.


www.donau-uni.ac.at

Art in Context of Open Data

Far more interesting would be getting the rest of our cultural output into indexable, searchable form, usable by any coder with a yen to explore. This lifting of art into the cloud would be a heavenly act indeed, enabling a new generation of New Curators.
