A brief introduction to Open Data

One of the key missions of the OpenGeoHub is to promote creation and use of Open Data. But what is exactly “Open Data” and does opening the data means that we are business unfriendly?

Let us know if you think we have missed some important information or concept and we will do our best to add and improve in the next revision.
