Abstract

Open data are the idea originated from philosophy that certain data should be freely available for everyone to use, reuse, and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The intent of the open data movement is on the same lines as that of other “open” movements such as open source, open content, and open access. Open data have caught attention of research community, government, industry across the world, due to its huge potential to bring constructive changes in the socioeconomic and scientific domain by developing and disseminating information within a vibrant mixed ecosystem comprising of research and developer community, government bodies, business houses, and hybrid solutions of various forms fueled by the sharp elevation of information and communications technologies (ICT) and digital governance. Open data along with data analytics service give a huge opportunity for development and innovation in citizen service delivery. Open data have also formed a part of core strategy of businesses across the world, big or small, digital or non-digital. Research community has also highlighted the potential of data for research and development. Reuse of research data can enable its analysis from a different perspective; processing the data in combination with other related datasets may provide a different perspective of the research findings.
