  1. Is There a Business Case for Open Government Data? Dr. Brand Niemann Director and Senior Enterprise Architect – Data Scientist Semantic Community http://semanticommunity.info/ AOL Government Blogger http://gov.aol.com/bloggers/brand-niemann/ July 12, 2012

  2. Overview • We need to get data success stories out of all of this for the 38 Degrees: AOL Government Conference and beyond • There are three success models and stories I am aware of with use of data: • Statistical agencies that get regular funding because it is critical to decisions like congressional districting, etc. • Intelligence community that got a big budget increase for big data because of the need to find more needles in bigger haystacks • Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. that learned it needed a data science team with an information platform to grow their business • So what business value can make open government data fundable and sustainable like the above three • Maybe by some combination of all three 

  3. A Personal Note • I have worked in all three areas: • Statistical agencies – FedStats.gov and FedStats.net • Annual Statistical Abstracts as a Data-Driven Document • Intelligence Community – Open Source Resource • A Quint – Cross Information Sharing and Integration App • Data Science Team – US EPA and Semantic Community • Data Science Products and Department of Commerce App Challenge: Big Data Dashboards • July 12th: Being talked about on Linkedln more than anything else on SlideShare right now. So we've put it on the homepage of SlideShare (in the "Hot on LinkedIn" section).

  4. What I Observed at theHealth Datapalooza • Apps: • Tech Entrepreneurs: $100,000 award for the best app for health consumers from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to Symcat, a symptom checker that analyzes patient records to tell you what patients like you actually had. It was an amazing demonstration and success story of a small group of 4 people that have only been working together for about four months. • Value-Added Data and Data Products • Academia and Industry: Reusing and Selling Government Data • Baseline Data Collection and Scientific Publication • FedStats: 200 Statistical Programs in 70 Agencies

  5. What I Did For The IOGDC • 43 Nations Now Offer A Million Government Data Sets • “More data beats clever algorithms but better data beats more data.” Monica Rogati @ Strata 2012 • Action: Make the conference content data and use that for a tutorial • Reason: Did not have hands-on exercises in the conference tutorial • Putting the 2012 IOGDC Data To Work • “We are talking a lot about making data available, but need to talk more about putting data to work.” @PeterSpeyer • Action: Audit and produce results • Reason: Found things presented to be not as advertised

  10. Some Next Steps • Make open government data fundable and sustainable by a combination of all three: • Statistical Agencies – High Quality Data and Statistical Modeling and Visualization Expertise • Intelligence Community – Big Data Expertise and Infrastructure • Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. – Data Scientists and Data Science Teams with Information Platforms • Examples: • Annual Statistical Abstracts as Data-Driven Documents • A Quint – Cross Information Sharing and Integration App • Semantic Medline on the Cray Graph Computer • Semantic Community Information Platform
