6. Challenge: getting data
- Data have to be easy to use in applications
- Not only big packages to download,
integrate, adjust...
- ... but also simple APIs to get needed
data on-the-fly

10. Challenge: serendipity
”Serendipity is when you find something that you were not expecting to find”
[Wikipedia]
- Data publishers (e.g. PAs) just make data
available ...
- Data users (e.g. private companies) should add
business value and innovation on top ...
- Innovation comes from unexpected use of data!
- How to discover new relate data?
- How to link/merge independently created
data?

30. Challenge:
leverage the entire Web of Data
- To create a data ecosystem an business
opportunities PSI open data is not
enough.
