Zombie Data: Has open data failed to live up to its hype?
Tim Large, editor-in-chief of Thomson Reuters Foundation, will moderate an expert roundtable discussion in which he will ask whether the open data movement has lived up to its promise to hold governments and corporations to account.This select group of public policy, corporate and civil society experts will seek to explore some of the challenges of open data, what has worked and what hasn’t. It will also attempt to draw out lessons learned to ensure that society does not end up with what Daniel Kaufmann of Revenue Watch calls “zombie data,” enormous collections of data that lackpurpose and insight.
