On\u00a0September 20<\/strong>\u00a0the Web Foundation will launch the next version of our Open Data Barometer. Now in its fifth year, the Barometer is a measure of how governments publish and use open data for accountability, innovation and social impact.<\/p>\n 2018 marks a\u00a0decade of open data<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 it isn\u2019t the new kid on the block anymore (hello artificial intelligence, good to meet you blockchain). It\u2019s time then to ask: what progress have governments made on open data? What impact is it having on people\u2019s lives? What should the next 10 years of open data look like?<\/p>\n To answer these questions, this year\u2019s Barometer is a departure from previous editions. Rather than having a global scope, it will focus on 30 governments \u2014 those who have adopted the\u00a0Open Data Charter<\/a>\u00a0or those who, as members of G20, have signed up to the\u00a0G20 Anti-Corruption Open Data Principles<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 which are themselves based on the\u00a0Charter Principles<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Charter represents a globally-agreed set of best practices for publishing and using data. That means these 30 governments should \u2014 having made specific commitments \u2014 be\u00a0leaders<\/i>\u00a0in the space. The Barometer will put this\u00a0leadership<\/i>\u00a0to the test by measuring their progress against three essential ingredients for good open data governance. These ingredients are based on\u00a0upcoming updates of the Charter Principles<\/a>.<\/p>\n These 30 governments have made specific commitments on open data. Now they must turn these promises into progress and take the necessary steps as leaders to make sure open data reaches the potential we know it has to make a real difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n The Open Data Barometer will be published on September 20, head of the\u00a0<\/b>International Open Data Conference in Buenos Aires<\/b><\/a>, and will be available at\u00a0<\/b>opendatabarometer.org<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n For updates, follow us on Twitter\u00a0<\/i>@webfoundation<\/i><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/i>#ODBarometer<\/i><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This post is originally\u00a0published by the Web Foundation.
