Theme: Commercialisation of OpenData will be driven by interactive gaming? Discuss.
Open-data apps provide enormous benefit to citizens and public sector services but perhaps the commercialisation and monetisation of opendata applications will be realised by the interactive gaming industry, of which Ireland is the European home to world leaders.
Following on from the successful OpenData 18HourChallenge, the NDRC and the IIA have come together once again to explore creative options for open-data in the context of education, social and play. We’ve lined up some great test cases and examples as well as some creative perspectives to spark ideas.
So bring your wildest ideas, your bluest skies or your blankest canvas…
