Leveraging open data as a new asset for development. 330 $aRecent years have witnessed considerable speculation about the potential of open data to bring about wide-scale transformation. The bulk of existing evidence about the impact of open data, however, focuses on high-income countries. Much less is known about open data's role and value in low- and middle-income countries, and more generally about its possible contributions to economic and social development. Open Data for Developing Economies features in-depth case studies on how open data is having an impact across the developing world-from an agriculture initiative in Colombia to data-driven healthcare projects in Uganda and South Africa to crisis response in Nepal. The analysis built on these case studies aims to create actionable intelligence regarding: (a) the conditions under which open data is most (and least) effective in development, presented in the form of a Periodic Table of Open Data; (b) strategies to maximize the positive contributions of open data to development; and (c) the means for limiting open data's harms on developing countries. 606 $aBig data$zDeveloping countries 606 $aInternet in public administration$zDeveloping countries 606 $aElectronic government information$zDeveloping countries 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $adeveloping world 610 $aimpact 610 $aopen data 610 $aopen government data 615 0$aBig data 615 0$aInternet in public administration 615 0$aElectronic government information 676 $a005.7094 700 $aVerhulst$b Stefaan$g(Stefaan G.),$0268424 702 $aAndrew Young$4auth 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910229241203321 996 $aOpen Data in Developing Economies$92152929 997 $aUNINA
