Summary:

"The Open Knowledge Foundation, in partnership with the Open Data Institute and the World Bank, has announced that there will be a revision of their famous Open Data Handbook released during 2015.  The Open Data Handbook has been an important resource for the open knowledge community since 2011. The handbook introduces and discusses legal, social and technical aspects of open data. It has been used by a wide range of stakeholders, from open data beginners to data wizards, from government officials to journalists and civil society activists. The handbook examines a number of key questions that are relevant to all: what is 'open', why to ‘open-up’ data, and the how to ‘open’ data?  The current version of the handbook has been translated into 18 languages, but must now be updated according to the new trends. The new version of the Open Data Handbook will focus mainly on one main type of open data: open government data, but a number of the sections can also be applied to other types of open data.  The launch of the new handbook is a community effort, so there are a number of ways that people can get involved. Anyone can submit stories or comments on the 'alpha' version they are planning to launch in February. For more details, check the entry on the OKF's blog."
