Partnerships/Open Cities: Linking Data in Sustainable cities and communities

Description

Imagine your city as a wiki — what would you do with the data available on mobility, schools and daycare centers, the environment and more? What would you need to get most out of public data sources like Open Government Data and Wikidata?

We want your thoughts and ideas about opportunities and barriers  provided by data and how we can link data for the benefit of all of us in open cities. After a short introduction of where we come from (Open Data Düsseldorf and the Wikidata team of Wikimedia Deutschland) we want to listen to, discuss and collect your ideas for the future of modern living environment. Join us!
