Good (economic) 6

In economics, a good is a material that satisfies human wants[1] and provides utility, for example, to a consumermaking a purchase. A common distinction is made between 'goods' that are tangible property (also called goods) and services, which are non-physical.[2] Commodities may be used as a synonym for economic goods but often refer to marketable raw materials and primary products.[3]

Although in economic theory all goods are considered tangible, in reality certain classes of goods, such as information, only take intangible forms. For example, among other goods an apple is a tangible object, while news belongs to an intangible class of goods and can be perceived only by means of an instrument such as print, broadcast or computer.

Origins of open data 34

A Brief History of Open Data

Origins of open data 35

The term open data appeared for the first time in 1995, in a document from an American scientific agency.

It dealt about the disclosure of geophysical and environmental data. To quote the authors of the report: “Our atmosphere, oceans and biosphere form an integrated whole that transcends borders.”

They promote a complete and open exchange of scientific information between different countries, a prerequisite for the analysis and understanding of these global phenomena.

Origins of open data 36

The idea of common good applied to knowledge had already been theorized, well before the invention of the Internet. Robert King Merton, as early as 1942, explained the importance that the results of research should be freely accessible to all.

Each researcher must contribute to the “common pot” and give up intellectual property rights to allow knowledge to move forward.

Origins of open data 37

Information technologies have also given a new breath to this philosophy of commons. In her research, the 2009 Nobel Prize of Economics Elinor Orstrom showed the specificity of information commons. They are very similar to public goods, because their use by one person does not impede their use by others.

However, these are public goods of a new kind: not only their use doesn’t deplete the common stock, but it enriches it.

*compare this to a park or a public swimming pool

Origins of open data 38

Peer review assumes some level of openness is provided.

But it is the encounter between this scientific idea and the ideals of free software and open source that shaped open data as we know it today.

Page 39: Economics of Open Data, presented at APIDays Sydney, 11 Feb 2015

Origins of open data 39

In December 2007, thinkers and activists of the Internet held a meeting north of San Francisco. Their aim was to define the concept of open public data and have it adopted by the US presidential candidates.

Among them were:Tim O’Reilly (open source, Web 2.0)Lawrence Lessig (creative commons)

Together, they created the principles that allow us today to define and evaluate open public data

Page 40: Economics of Open Data, presented at APIDays Sydney, 11 Feb 2015

Origins of open data 40

The basic idea is that public data are a common property, in the same way as scientific ideas.

The means to achieve this idea concerned primarily the sharing and use of this common good.

They are directly inspired by the approach and practice of open source, built on three concepts: openness, participation and collaboration.
