“Open data refers to the proactive public release of data by (primarily) public administrations, to enable value creation by citizens and businesses, greater transparency of government action, and civic participation.”
“… it’s important to remember that technology alone will not lead to [positive] social change. This will only happen if technology is appropriated by each and every one of us and anchored in local knowledge and collective participation. It requires people to make a call on how and why this or that technology should be used and adapt it to the political and socio-economic context in which they live.” (E. Campelo)
“Open data, o la apertura de los datos públicos, consiste en una puesta a disposición proactiva de los datos procedentes de las administraciones públicas, con el objeto de favorecer la creación de valor por parte de los ciudadanos y de las empresas, una mayor transparencia de la acción pública y también de la participación ciudadana.”
“Los límites del derecho a la libertad de expresión, tal como decíamos, comienzan a hacerse obvios en el transcurrir de los años 1960 y de los 1970 con la propagación y consolidación de los medios de comunicación de masas (sobre todo la televisión), que revolucionaron las dimensiones del fenómeno comunicacional y evidenciaron su inclinación multidireccional: no se es libre sólo emitiendo información sino también buscando, recibiendo y compartiéndola.” (L. Daudén)

“A more sophisticated understanding of intellectual cooperation and innovation calls for the understanding of great sociological, economic, political and technological forces surrounding them. In this essay, I discuss the hegemony of electronic-computer capitalism and the changes it provokes in economic, academic and political life, in order to situate in a larger context the issues and challenges we currently face.” (G. Lins Ribeiro)
