”The traffic noise data set is a great example of open data which could be very valuable to common people. For example, families looking for a quiet neighborhood in Helsinki would probably want to check local traffic noise levels before buying a house.” -CloudnSci.fi

What next? •  Making open data as part of cities’ normal operations •  In Helsinki open data is included in the city strategy program, IT-

strategy and budgeting process •  Let’s show people all the unpublished data there is so they can

suggest what data should be opened •  From manually published static data files to application

programming interfaces (API’s) and ”automatic data publishing” •  Continuing co-operation: across city agencies and state, with

technical developers, companies, schools, research institutions and end users

Boosting open data utilization

How to boost open data utilization? Cities point of view •  Open up more data systematically •  Provide open interfaces (APIs) to the data systems •  Develop interoperability / compatibility of the datasets •  Create user-friendly prototypes to show the usage of the data •  Disseminate best practices •  Better communication, guidance and marketing

How to boost open data utilization? Everyone´s point of view • Involve different users and communities to work with the data owners in creating use cases – solutions for real challenges • Organize events, workshops and competitions • Facilitate access to business funding for data intensive start-ups and other companies • Tie to EU and national open government initiatives and projects

A Transparent City

Case: How open decision making data from City of Helsinki has been used

Our Dream: Fully Transparent and Open City

”Open data will bring the biggest change

in public administration that I have experienced during my career”

-Mr. Jussi Pajunen, Mayor of Helsinki

Helsinki’s electronic document management system - Ahjo

•  System for preparing public agendas for decision making

•  City Council, City Board, City Departments and their steering committees (over 5.000 users)

Ahjo is now Open! •  Helsinki’s public agenda and

decision documents as open data = Open Ahjo

•  dev.hel.fi/openahjo/ •  www.hri.fi/fi/data/helsingin-kaupungin-

asianhallintajarjestelma-ahjon-rajapinta/

•  Enables new applications and services that bring decision making closer to citizens

Open Helsinki – www.openhelsinki.net - community project in progress to create better UI to decision items and to increase the dialogue between citizens and politicians

http://www.hri.fi/fi/sovellukset/ahjo-explorer/

Ahjo Explorer mobile application: “Follow Helsinki’s political decision making whenever and wherever”

•  Mitä jo on tehty unelman saavuttamiseksi •  Mitä seuraavaksi tehtäisiin

Hmm.. at the moment they are planning to do some changes to the land use plan

of this area.. Interesting - should I participate?

I see.. This brandnew bicycle corridor was decided x.x.20xx by the City

Council and budget was xx euros.. I´ll send positive feedback!

Ordinary day in the near future

Helsingin kaupungin aineistopankki/Lauri Mannermaa

Make it easier for citizens, politicians

and civil servants to have a dialogue via social media

A:Today we are handling

new bicycle-road case xx-yy-zz Q: Could you tell me more

about this case? A: Sure!

Realtime access to local and relevant decision topics:

”What is being decided in my neighborhood?”

Open Ahjo – Use cases for the data

Encouraging citizen participation:

”City is building

a new library here in 2016. I could tell them my ideas on how

to spend the budget”

“Our dream is that every public agenda, every euro and any public issue could be easily

analyzed, visualized, understood and contributed to

by the citizens in advance.”

HRI won 100 000 € to make this dream a reality!

http://www.hri.fi/en/news/hri-wins-eus-prize-for-innovation/

How we will spend the EUR 100.000 •  Open more data and develop

interoperability of the different datasets to match with Open Ahjo

•  Work with various users in creating real-life use cases for the data

•  Encourage the creation of prototype applications and visualizations that showcase the usage of the data

•  Disseminate learnings so others can replicate it

Examples of datasets to match with Open Ahjo: •  Population statistics and estimates •  Administrative boundaries •  City financial data •  City service point data •  Real estate and land use data •  Environmental data •  City issue reporting data
