At OKCon 2011, we had the opportunity to interview Brewster Kahle who is a computer engineer, internet entrepreneur, activist, and digital librarian. He is the founder and director of the Internet Archive, a non-profit digital library with the stated mission of “universal access to all knowledge”. Besides the widely known “Wayback Machine“, where archived copies of most webpages can be accessed, the Internet Archive is very active in the digitization of books, as well, and provides with the “Open Library” a free catalog that aims to describe “every book ever published”. Kahle and his wife, Mary Austin, created the Kahle/Austin Foundation that supports the Internet Archive and other non-profit organizations.

كينيا ومولدوفا: دروس للبلدان النامية في البيانات المفتوحة | البيانات

في عالم ما زال العديد من بلدانه الأكثر ثراء لا يتيح لمواطنيه الإطلاع بسهولة ويسر على البيانات الحكومية، تتقدم كينيا ومولدوفا لتتصدرا الصفوف. فخلال الأشهر الستة الماضية، تجاوز هذان البلدان سجلا قديما من التعتيم بإنشاء مواقع إلكترونية تتيح إمكانية الوصول إلى البيانات، إذ يسهل - على سبيل المثال - الإطلاع على معلومات الموازنة والتعداد ونقلها. وفي الشهر الجاري، ألقى خبراء في مجال البيانات المفتوحة نظرة عن قرب على هذه المبادرات الرائدة بحثاً عما قد يفيدهم من نصائح بشأن أفضل السبل لمساعدة بلدان نامية، مثل منغوليا ونيجيريا ورواندا، كي تخطو نحو حكومة أكثر انفتاحاً. وأبدى هؤلاء الخبراء إعجابهم بمجتمع جديد لممارسي البيانات الحكومية المفتوحة على موقع التواصل الإلكتروني LinkedIn الذي يربط بين الحكومات وخبراء علنية البيانات. وقام البنك الدولي ومؤسسة شبكة الإنترنت العالمية (World Wide Web Foundation) معا بتشكيل هذا المجتمع الجديد وتدشينه في 28 سبتمبر/أيلول.
