• “Open data will create more data monopolies and divides”

• “This research data is only meaningful in specific context [and only I understand that…]”

• “Somebody has to pay!”

What is GODAN

• Advocacy

• Think Tank

• Knowledge Network

“I went through this Responsible Data in Agriculture brochure that’s

online and it strikes me how much it applies, in concrete terms, to

the data revolution that is part and parcel of the 2030 agenda for

sustainable development.” Thomas Gass, UN-DESA

An example to follow?

Second Payment Service Directive, or “PSD2”….

….. will compel banks to share data easily with licensed third parties (if that is what their account-holders want)……..
