Open Console — Participate

At the moment, we only share this with interested data Publishers and data Consumers: they have to commit to the fundamentals of Open Cooperation and Privacy for the data they want to use or share. By far the hardest part in this phase of this project is Political.

When can you participate?

  • You shall be a registered entity or person;
  • The data you publish must be made freely visible to the owners of the website which it concerns.
  • When your Published data-set is large, or when you are a large Consumer, you will be asked to contribute in the maintenance of the infrastructure.
  • You need to become member of the Association, which protects the honest Open playfield (once we have erected it)

Advice

  • Before Publishing your data, you should try to join efforts with entities which publish data with the same purpose. When merging data-sets is not possible, then at least try to come to a standard.
