Open data refers to data that can be freely used, reused, and redistributed by anyone. Releasing open data enables open innovation by fueling new ideas and starting new companies. Semantic technologies allow data to be linked conceptually to other data, beyond just surface-level values. Pursuing open data according to the 5 star framework can help organizations innovate by combining their data in new ways.

other data, not on a pure value level but on a
conceptual or context level.
