What data do we need? The story of the Cadasta GODI fellowship – Open Knowledge International Blog

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-06-10

Summary:

"And so came to life the idea of the GODI fellowship. It was simple – Cadasta will have a fellow for a period of 6 months to explore the publication of data that is relevant to land ownership issues. The fellowship would be funded by Cadasta and the fellow would be an integral part of the team. OKI would give in-kind support of guidance and research. The fellowship goals were:

  • Global policy analysis of open data in the field of land and resource rights
  • Better definition for the land ownership dataset in the Global Open Data Index for 2016;
  • Mapping stakeholders and partners for the Global Open Data Index (for submissions);
  • Recommendations for a thematic Index;
  • A working paper or a series of blog posts about open data in land and resource ownership.

Throughout the fellowship, Lindsay conducted interviews with land experts, NGOs and government officials as well as on-going desk research on the land data publication practices across different contexts. She established 4 key outputs:

  1. Outlining the challenges of opening land ownership data. Blog post here.
  2. Mapping the different types of land data and their availability. Overview here.
  3. Assessing the privacy and security risks of opening certain types of land data. See our work here: cadasta.org/open-data/assessing-the-risks-of-opening-property-rights-data/
  4. Identifying user needs and creating user personas for open land data.  User personas here."
