  1. Data availability, Access and Linkage with Open Data By Bernard Justus MUHWEZI Manager, Geo-Information Services Division, UBOS Open Development Stakeholders Workshop Hotel Africana, KAMPALA September 11-12, 2012

  2. Thinking about Open Data • Principles • data and • metadata should not be managed centrally, • but by the data originator and/or • owner, and • that tools and services • connect via computer networks/internet to the various source • information about where data and who owns it should be available and accessible -portal thing

  6. A case of Geospatial Open Data pathway at UBOS • census and intercensal mapping undertakings provide geospatial data (2002-2012) • Geo-Information Services Division is the home of official statistical geo-referenced data and information about socio-economic-political-environmental key data sets • updated regularly at a frequency of 5-year duration • all the geospatial information are a public good • accessible and available through a number of channels to different users
