Top 5 Challenges Open Data Face
- The old nerdy sarcastic adage - "The great thing about standards is that there are so many". Aggregation solutions need adaptive transformation, presentation, and publication rules.
- Open data policy, practices and solutions for fluid, big, and fast is non-existent. The policy is for traditional compliance more recently required, yet still early, scientific publication to support datasets.
- Discoverability solution still relies on metadata, and rules-based filtering, publication, weighting and gamification. This still makes finding the lost ark more likely than an open dataset in the wild.
- Semantic data feature mapping still is a dream as the focus is on getting the open data out there.
- Focus is on open datasets, not open data assets. Undiscoverable data assets are applications, products, maps, galleries, collections. These need aggregated registry solutions .
