OPEN DATA PLAN
Following a year of raising awareness within public organisations and the local government,
the Apps4Amsterdam initiative (http://www.appsforamsterdam.nl/) is moving to the next
level. Beyond hackathons and contests, the Open Data initiative focuses on the community
and wants to stimulate demand on the developers side. The plan aims to create a blueprint
for doing business and being successful with Open Data.
Appsterdam is participating in a joint venture with AIM and Waag Society to leverage the
Open Data dialogue and support developers and products that are using and/or combining
Open Data meaningfully. Appsterdams mission is to create momentum and focus on two or
three existing use cases to bring them to greatness.
WHAT CAN COME OUT OF A SUCCESSFUL PLAN
an App based on Open Data with (the outlook on) a positive business case
an API based on Open Data with (the outlook on) a positive business case
