OpenData Day is inviting all experts, journalists, citizens and government leaders to come and learn how to read data and develop innovative ideas and solutions for the environment and cultural sites. This is an opportunity to discuss the value of OpenData and free knowledge for business, the citizens and the government: transparency in civic participation, opportunities for the territory. The meeting involves comparison between local institutions and activists OpenPuglia: a group of private citizens, civic hackers, Puglia students and local industry representatives and academics, who work voluntarily to create new culture with Open Data, and a new way of understanding the relationship between information, the digital and the rights of citizens. It will look in particular on the monitoring and sharing of environmental data , and the enhancement of cultural sites in Puglia.
In the afternoon the hackathon will take place where attendees will learn how to collect data and how to read them in relation to the territory for which and on which they are processed. You will explore Wikidata, the free and collaborative database supporting the functioning of Wikipedia, the free and voluntary encyclopedia. Discover how to geo-locate the sites of the Apulian culture and enrich the free OpenStreetMap.
