OGD IN ZURICH
• Legislation Agenda Focus eZürich
• Zurich strives to be one of the world‘s leading cities in ICT, where advanced infrastructure enables creative solutions and new trends
• City Council mandates Statistik Stadt Zürich (SSZ) to establish OGD processes
• SSZ creates OGD portal and publishes 90 datasets
• Nothing really happens…
Conclusions1. Publishing datasets is not enough2. OGD as a project and OGD as daily routine are two very different things
3. OGD means communication4. Performance measurements are difficult to implement
5. OGD needs constant political support

DATA INTEGRATION
• Combination of spatial and thematic data
• Unique identifiers (indices and numbers) for spatial entities (city circles, districts, parcels)
• Extensive metadata facilitates processes
• Use of names as unique identifiers can be problematic
contrasting official and commonly used notations

EXCUSES
• Reasons not to release data
• Apathy / Confusion„you mean people are really interested in this?“„how would someone even use that kind of data!“
• Rage against the bureaucracy„there will be unending data releases!“„we don‘t have time!“
• Staff Concerns„my boss hasn‘t told me to and you‘re not my boss!“„we don‘t have anyone who knows how to do that.“
• Heavy Hitters (Legality, Security, Privacy)„it‘s not classified, but we don‘t think it would be good PR for us.“„people don‘t understand my data!“

CONCLUSIONS
• It‘s just the beginning
• Need for a lot of grassroot activity
• We still need pressure from the top
• Still a few very old-fashioned decision-makers
„Clash of the generations“
