To celebrate Open Data Day 2018, we\u2019re releasing our Lessons Learned Paper for the Data2Life. Life2Data. project<\/b><\/p>\n

As with the previous years, we\u2019re celebrating Open Data Day<\/a> \u2013 an annual celebration of open data all over the world. We\u2019re doing it in two ways: we\u2019re having a Twitter Q&A<\/a> (ask us your #OpenData and #DataEmpowerment questions), and we\u2019re releasing our Data2Life. Life2Data. lessons learned paper<\/a>!<\/p>\n

In 2016, we implemented a photography project that depicted how citizens produce, consume, and use data at the local level, and validated the accuracy of data by capturing objects, people, processes, and events that data represent. For example, the state of schools, the existence of roads and bridges, the status of medical supplies\u2014these are often contained as data in government inventories, but they can also be represented by photographs that capture these everyday situations. The project, entitled \u201cData2Life. Life2Data.<\/a>\u201d, was done in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Indonesien. The resulting exhibit<\/a> has been shown in Yogyakarta and Jakarta, Indonesia, Madrid, Spain and Berlin, Germany.<\/p>\n

We documented our experiences from implementing the project through a Lessons Learned Paper entitled, \u201cUsing Photography to Capture Data in Everyday Life<\/a>\u201d. The paper outlines our approach, key learnings and recommended areas for future research. This paper is particularly useful for any individual or organisation interested in looking at how to understand and capture the community stories and narratives at the intersection of data and public fiscal transparency by using photography.<\/p>\n

As a preview, one of our project participants said about his experience from the project:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople share information and data in diverse ways. In the villages, people do this by informal interactions, by talking among neighbours rather than by visiting bulletin boards or accessing web-based portals. I think the challenge is how to use these current practices in designing open data initiatives and build on what people are accustomed to, rather than build something entirely different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More insights from our partners can be found in the paper<\/a>. You can also find similar resources in this <\/a>section of the Lab\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Follow us on Twitter @ODLabJkt<\/a> to get the latest updates from us. We\u2019ll also be sharing more experiences and lessons from our other projects in the next weeks, so stay tuned<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
