It notes positive effects these projects have had, like increasing awareness, setting the local open data agenda, and introducing concepts like "commons" and open source tools.

Spin-off effects of the EU demonstrator projects • Awareness creation about the ‘treasures behind open data’ • Agenda setting in Open Data Local Governance (in Ams now budget allocation for hiring 4 full time employee) • Bringing evidences , user cases on interoperable and non-proprietary smart open data solutions
- 29. Spin-off effects of the EU demonstrator projects • Fresh injections of most state of art ICT solutions, trends (GitHub repositories, Open Source visualization tools) into city halls • Introducing the concept of “Commons”, “Standards”, “civic coders”, “hackers”, “tech grassroots” • Diving into an exclusive Open Data Catalysts- Smart Cities network (Enoll, World Bank, OKF, ODI, Future Cities Catapult, NESTA)

- 31. Best Practices Open Data • 30 apps have been launched (face recognition by portrays) • High educational impact • Positive PR for the museum • Reach of new younger target group https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/api -110.000 high resolution photo’s of the collection
- 33. Beyond Open Data – Business Generation
- 34. 2012 – Focus of App Contest: The more the better….
- 35. 2013 – Less apps more business incubation • • • • 3 start ups coaching +300 datasets Participation in Apps4EU +50 civic apps
- 36. Community: Appsterdam2600 developers have joined up
- 37. Appsterdam- 2600 developers have joined up
- 38. Understand Open Data dynamics
- 39. Open Data Observations 1. Open Data Catalysts are strongly dependent on external financing and networking (role for Enoll, Connected Smart Cities)- Liberate open data agents! 2. Vocabularies match between policy makers and open data catalyst 3. Produce user cases to discover the enormous underexploited value of data 4. Watch out with corporate Big Data providers 5. Encourage cities to move toward Commons, peer reviewed open data vendors
