Hong Kong Open Data Index
abstract
In May 2020, the Internet Society Hong Kong (ISOC HK) launched the Hong Kong Open Data Index (HKODI) 2019/20, the first comprehensive review of open data from the city's civil society. The civil society has pushed ahead with open data in Hong Kong since 2013, in the forms of such as civic tech introduced from overseas. However, the government did not respond actively. Hong Kong was ranked 24th in the last round of Global Open Data Index in 2017, when Taiwan was ranked 1st.
ISOC HK has identified the need to develop an assessment tool to measure data openness of the city in order to locate the data gap and engage other stakeholders, in particular the government, to improve the policies and practices. Taking reference to 19 sets of international open data standards including one published by Taiwan's Open Culture Foundation in 2017, the HKODI has been launched. The report of HKODI found that various key datasets ranging from land, housing to business registration are not freely available in the public domain, whereas each government departments adopts different standards than others.
一路從生態研究、社區駐點、獨立音樂行銷宣傳、音樂祭員工、小黨選舉公關，直到現在踏入自己沒想過會接觸的開源和開放科技領域，唯一沒變的是持續參與社會運動的決心，並且得以從不同領域不同角度進行串聯，但因為沒有經營單一領域或專長，只好自創我的專業是跨領域經理人，聽起來比較厲害。
