Greetings,<br>
<br>
Open Data, Open Society is a report I wrote for the Institute of<br>
Economics of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. The report represents the<br>
first part of a research project (1) financed through the DIME <br>
(Dynamics of Institutions and Markets in Europe), as part of DIME Work<br>
Package 6.8, coordinated by Professor Giulio Bottazzi.<br>
<br>
The report discusses the current and potential role, in a truly open<br>
society, of raw Public Sector Information (PSI) that is really open,<br>
that is fully accessible and reusable by everybody. The general<br>
characteristics of PSI and the conclusions are based on previous<br>
studies and on the analysis of current examples both from the European<br>
Union and the rest of the world.<br>
<br>
The full report is released under a Creative Commons cc-by license (2)<br>
and can be freely downloaded as a single file in HTML or PDF format<br>
from the websites of DIME (3) and of the Sant'Anna school (4). In<br>
order to facilitate as much as possible feedback and discussion on<br>
each single part, the whole report, split in separate pages with<br>
comments open to anonymous readers, is also available online at<br>
<br>

<br>
The "Open Data, Open Society" project will continue with an online<br>
survey that will attempt to assess how many types of raw PSI are<br>
already released, in which formats and under which licenses, by the<br>
city and regional administration of the EU-15 countries. A final<br>
report will summarize and comment the results of the survey. �For more<br>
