Open data today and tomorrow: the present challenges and possibilities of open data

“…Raw data from research trials is beginning to be shared in academia and the sciences. For example, the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) provides seismographic data from hundreds of stations to inspire new collaborative projects and research initiatives (Tananbaum, 2008), and the All Trials campaign pushes for the publication of raw data from clinical trials. Swivel, a 2006-2010 attempt to create a "YouTube for data", failed to get beyond the prototype stage, but showed the potential.…”

State-of-the-art in open data research: Insights from existing literature and a research agenda

“…Technological advancements using Web 2.0 also made it possible to produce interoperable data (Kulk and Van Loenen 2012); which made some citizens to change their role from passive recipients to active producer and user of data simultaneously. Opposing the theory of diminishing utility, the value of data increases with its reuse (Meijer et al 2014;Tananbaum 2008); in fact, the products of data are sometimes more attractive than the original data (Serra 2014).…”
