• Open data is data die door iedereen vrij gebruikt,
hergebruik en verspreid mag worden
• Dat betekent geen juridische of financiële beperkingen
• Hooguit mag naamsvermelding gevraagd worden
• Of de vraag de bewerking van de data onder gelijke
voorwaarden te delen
• Waarom? Dit maakt het mixen van datasets mogelijk
(interoperabiliteit)
