Open Data Case Studies Database #83

Closed gr33ndata closed 8 years ago

gr33ndata commented 10 years ago

I am not sure if such thing already exists or not

Whenever I am at the process of creating a presentation, I have to consult google search for some case studies regarding open gov data, how it was done, how it helped making people's life easier, etc.

So, I am thinking of a platform, where we can document open data projects all over the world, and if there are case studies about them. The case studies should be categorized by country, whether it was done by government, local government or by the community as a crowdsourced project. The platform's database should also include the contact persons, tools and softwares used, related research projects and news. How such data was useful and listings of news stories made out of it. May be something a la CruchBase but for Open Data projects and case studies.

To put you in picture, I am thinking of projects such as WhereDoesMyMoneyGo, TheyWorkForYou, Data.gov.uk, HarassMap, data.WorldBank.org, BroadbandMap.gov,

@gr33ndata this is a great idea and something we've thought about before. We've got some material we could already use and we could have a very simple implementation a la http://okfnlabs.org/bad-data/

@gr33ndata I'm going to close this in favour of the Value Stories that are now part of the Open Data Handbook http://opendatahandbook.org/value-stories/en/ - to suggest more for inclusion just open an issue on the open data handbook repo - see http://opendatahandbook.org/contribute/
