Dominic Byrne, of Fingal County Council, in his presentation at last week’s open data seminar pointed to these open data initiatives. Fingal Open Data was the first to do so.
Additionally, there are some open data civil society initiatives such as:
And an academic / private sector / government partnership portal:
As part of this activity, the government announced at the Open Government Partnership this month that it will soon launch a national open data portal as part of its open government strategy.
There are also other data sharing / data access initiatives ongoing in Ireland, and to name a few:
- All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO)
- Irish Qualitative Data Archive (IQDA)
- Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI)
And also some research projects are examining this topic. Here are a couple:
- Programmable City Project
- Linked Data as part of INSIGHT at NUI Galway
This is not a comprehensive list, but it is a start, and as research progresses, I will make more resources available. If you hear or know of more, do not hesitate to let us know!
