Day 1 of NDF 2015, 3.30pm session Tuesday 13 October 2015

No organisation in New Zealand provides collections data as open data, and this isn't acceptable. Open data from our cultural institutions is now table stakes in delivering on our mission to provide wide access to our culture and heritage content.

So what is real open data and how do we get there? This talk will explore what open data actually means, and suggest some tools that we can use to open data and then measure ourselves against open data principles.

Glen Barnes is the founder of My Tours, a mobile application platform for the GLAM sector. He also founded Open New Zealand and is on the advisory board for DigitalNZ. @barnaclebarnes @mytoursapp
