Open data, unlimited business opportunities

What is open information? Let's take a look at Wikipedia's view:

The Open data is the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16658.html ' >idea that certain data should be freely available To the everyone and republish as tightly cytopathic, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.

The goals of the Open data movement are errors to those of other "open" movements such as open source, open content, and open acces S
"Open data" means opening the data to anyone for free publication,

Whether it is to be published or otherwise used, it is not subject to copyright, patent rights, and other regulatory mechanisms. The "Open Data" campaign hopes to achieve the same goals as open source, content openness, open access and other "open" campaigns.

Friends who promote Open-source software often use the "open source movement" to describe this trend, using the word "sport", in addition to technological changes, but also imply that the trend of open source implies the nature of social movement. From Dr. Jingjing's projection, we can see that the open source movement has not only driven the evolution of later open content, such as: Wikipedia,openstreetmap, which has also contributed to the wave of open data. Open data is a bit similar to the open content movement, but many people who are open to information are hoping that the authorities can release data that is in the interest of the public, so open information is often discussed with open government.

From Google Trend We can find that from the end of 2007, more and more people began to talk about Open Data. In Taiwan, thanks to Schee (2010,2011), Jamie and FOX and other people's promotion and reporting, the Taipei City Traffic Bureau of the attitude of Open Data from the beginning of the application unit for traffic information or the value of the treatment after the addition of the foreign charges. "Transition to" the original interface data may not be referred to and sold, the information added after the value of the product is not in this limit "(2012.1.30).

At present, the Taipei municipal government Open data platform released 135 kinds of information, without the written consent, in the data source, can be used free of charge. This should be good news for many app developers, and even small development teams should be able to make use of these publicly available data to add value to the app without paying high fees, and web developers can use that data to develop better services.

This year, open data has a higher level of concern, the Executive Yuan Science and Technology conference held a "China public Data add value (Open data) promotion strategy Meeting", the conference all the video can be downloaded here, the day on Twitter discussion can be found here. The main hope is to open and promote three databases: the Palace Museum digital Collection data, National Geographic data, health insurance data. It also uses a cool Buzz Word: Cloud computing (Cloud Computing) and open data.

Although the main axis of the day's meeting is to discuss how to add value to these data, it is somewhat inconsistent with the original meaning of Open data, but the official start of the discussion is always the first step, with the good precedent of Taipei city government, sincerely hope that these three databases will be able to have a reasonable mandate. The digital collection data, the geographical data, the relatively simple, but the more controversial health care database, after the news in the press, has attracted many civil society's concern. First of all, regardless of the "Medical Cloud Computing System" (!?) The value-added database is controversial (3,000 words).

Mark Wu's paitent like Me (patients with severe/special illnesses spontaneously put their medical records online so that other patients and doctors could refer to them and then study how to use them or change their treatment), or Schee mentioned Asthmapolis Seems to be the right direction.

As a residence, actually do not understand these complex terminology, but in addition to the development (introduction?) Local micro-innovation services, or joining a foreign micro-innovation team, may have another opportunity for APP and Web services after the government completes 9 types of public data inventories by the end of June.

In addition, a number of future changes in the law, such as: the extension of the Personal Data Protection Act, the Intellectual property law to be included in the blockade of major infringement site provisions (similar to the U.S. SOPA clause, Inside before the report-I see SOPA in the United States), next year, Taiwan assessment to join the ACTA We also need the continued attention of netizens and opinion leaders.

As far as I know, March does have a chance to respond to the problem of medical clouds, but also hope that the industry's advanced criticism and advice.
