Entando Meets Open Data

A new post from Entando Universe about "Entando and Open Data":

"Open Data has become the trend of the moment. Social networks, blogs, magazines on the web speak about about Open Data.
But first of all we need to define what is open data:
“Open Data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.” as defined by the Open Definition.
The full Open Definition gives precise details as to what this means:

• Availability and Access: the data must be available as a whole and at no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably by downloading over the internet.
• Reuse and Redistribution: the data must be provided under terms that permit reuse and redistribution including the intermixing with other datasets.
• Universal Participation: everyone must be able to use, reuse and redistribute - there should be no discrimination against fields of endeavour or against persons or groups.

Governments have a broad range of different types of data and most of the government data is public by law, and therefore could be made open and made available for others to use. For this reason Open Data is often associated with Open Government."

New post from About Sharmila (Sam) Wijeyakumar about "Retail can benefit from Enterprise Portals":

"Enterprise portals act as an extension of your IT systems, while creating a personal environment for retail employees.

When people say a place has “all the comforts of home,” it’s one of the highest compliments they could give. The phrase evokes images of familiarity, convenience, and a personal touch that likely will bring the recipient back again."
