„The days of keeping our research results to ourselves are over. There is far more to gain from sharing data and letting others access and analyse that data.“EU-Commissioner Carlos Moedas, Lund 4.12.2015
Open data is data that can be used, changed and passed on by anyone and for any purpose.

Tim Berners-Lee called for "raw data now" at TED 2009 to encourage governments, academics and institutions to make their data freely available on the web. A year later, at TED University 2010, he showed some interesting results when data are networked.
