Using data.world to collaborate on Open Data Day and to showcase work after the event – Open Knowledge International Blog

"Although the data.world team will only be present at our local Open Data Day in Austin, Texas, everyone at data.world is proud to support the groups that will participate in events all over the world. The platform will make it easier to collaborate on your data projects, connect with the community, and preserve your work for others to build upon after Open Data Day.

For those of you that don’t know us yet, this is central to our vision as a B Corp and Public Benefit Corporation. By setting data.world up in this way, we commit to considering our impact on stakeholders – not only on shareholders – and allow ourselves to publicly report on progress towards our mission in the same way companies report on finances. Our mission is to:

1. build the most meaningful, collaborative and abundant data resource in the world in order to maximize data’s societal problem-solving utility,
2. advocate publicly for improving the adoption, usability, and proliferation of open data and linked data, and
3. serve as an accessible historical repository of the world’s data."
