Planned approach and implementation
Before the project started all participating organisations had the same opinion - that it is hard to communicate what open data is and what the added value is? By arranging three breakfast seminars, with different thematic focus, it has helped to spread the message to people within the organisations that otherwise has been hard to reach. This in turn has led to that the work with open data has been prioritized in several organisations.
