New Project to Assess Potential of Creating Open Government Data in Chile, Ghana and Turkey14/10/2010 
Within less than a year, the United Kingdom and United States have put hundreds of thousands of rich datasets on the Web in machine readable formats. Thousands of applications have been built -the vast majority without taxpayers’ Money- by civic hackers to analyze, mash-up, and map these data.
Potential benefits of an Open Government Data (OGD) practice include new services, new insights, increased citizen participation, new businesses and better governance.
Though other countries, provinces and cities are exploring OGD, there has been little activity in low and middle income countries.
Given the potential benefits and reasonable costs, it is importance to assess how relevant an OGD initiative might be in these countries as well.

The Challenge of Open Data and Metrics11/10/2010 
One of the traditionally highlighted advantages of Open Data is to allow citizens themselves to evaluate the quality of public services.
However, it’s not always easy to draw a conclusion as important when the analysis made of the re-used information does not includes other contextual variables.
Is the case, for example, of certain school performance reports published annualy in North America.
