In Jakarta, Open Environmental Data Meets Freedom of Information Law

In Jakarta, Open Environmental Data Meets Freedom of Information Law

There is a central the difference between a FOI and open data. FOI is a “document centric” process. It more...

Open data has the potential to deliver a £2bn more...
