Cork Events
Open Data for an Open Future
Date: Monday 7th November 2011
Location: Aula Maxima, UCC
Organisers: JB McCarthy, Development Director, Financial Services Innovation Centre, O'Rahilly Building, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland.
As part of a national initiative, this event is striving to raise the profile and potential of open data in Ireland. With increased ability to capture, process and store data, public organisations are beginning to see the benefit in opening this data to its citizens. With countries such as the UK and US leading the way, Ireland is just starting out on its open data path. Highlighting the state of play of open data in Ireland, the aim is provide a platform for future initiatives and events and a more transparent future for Irish citizens.
