 Open Data: Promoting and Exploring Open Data in Indonesia

Videoaufzeichnungen © colourbox.de

Open data has seen significant progress in Indonesia. More public and cultural institutions are opening their data for public perusal and civil society is becoming knowledgeable about and engaging with the data.

Open government fosters public oversight and helps reduce corruption by enabling greater transparency. Meanwhile, open cultural data published by GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) enables reuse and encourages further research as well as collaboration.

Emerging International Voices

They are young, they are bold and they are connected – and they are the future of our libraries. 22 emerging international voices discuss the role of digital libraries – and digital technologies in libraries – in their countries. Representing Indonesia is Madiareni Sulaiman from the Centre for Documentation and Scientific Information, LIPI.

PAST INITIATIVES 

Goethe-Institut Indonesien partnering with several notable public institutions and civil society organizations spearheaded several initiatives to promote and advance open data in Indonesia:

Data2Life. Life2Data

Data permeates and impacts every sphere of our society - even if much of the public discourse still revolves around abstract questions centred on the role of technology in the production and application of data, open data is far more than just a technical concept and needs to be better understood and shared.

Open Data Innovation Week

Over the past few years, open data has seen significant progress in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, with more governments opening data for public perusal and consumption and civil society becoming knowledgeable about and engaging with the data.

Collaborative knowledge in the web

Free access to knowledge and information is an essential cornerstone of democratic societies. In the digital world, non-commercial platforms such as Wikipedia play an important role.

Data Literacy

Not all segments of the population profit equally from the internet. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, the proportion of women who have access to the internet is lower than that of men in the population.
