★ make your stuff available on the Web
(whatever format) under an open license
★★ make it available as structured data (e.g.,
Excel instead of image scan of a table)
★★★ use non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV
instead of Excel)
★★★★ use URIs to denote things, so that people
can point at your stuff
★★★★★ link your data to other data to provide
context

33. Transportation Planning
Au niveau municipal, les
données sont accessibles
indirectement sur le site de la
ville de Montréal. En d'autres
termes, ces données n'ont pas
été prévues pour être utilisées
de manière directe mais sont
affichées sur une carte dans la
section Info-Travaux.
Au niveau provinciale, les
données viennent du
Ministère des transports du
Québec et de son
service Québec 511. Là aussi le
MTQ se démarque de ses
homologues canadiens en étant
a priori le premier à proposer
des données GPS pour la
localisation des chantiers.
41. Analytical Framework
Translation: City into code Transduction: Code reshapes city
Understanding the city
(Knowledge)
P 1: How are digital data
generated and processed
about cities and their citizens?
P 5: How does software drive
public policy development and
implementation?
Managing the city
(Governance)
P 2: How are discourses and
practices of city governance
translated into code?
P 6: How is software used to
regulate and govern city life?
Working in the city
(Production)
P 3: How is the geography and
political economy of software
production organised?
P 7: How does software alter the
forma and nature of work?
Living in the city
(Social Politics)
P 4: How is software
discursively produced and
legitimated by vested
interests?
P 8: How does software transform
the spatiality and spatial
behaviour of individuals?
