| Abstract | Data.gov celebrated its fifth birthday in May 2014. Data.gov.uk will turn five in January 2015. According to datacatalogs.org, there are more than 380 Open Data portals around the world, with new portals still appearing all the time. Some Open Data practitioners cried 'go ugly, go early', others 'raw data now', while others lobbied for CSV and RDF. With Open Data initiatives maturing, what can countries such as Ireland, who are embarking on their national Open Data journey, learn from the experience of these instigators? What are best practices for selecting datasets, publishing data and supporting data reuse? In this paper, I present the experience of defining an Irish Open Data strategy, based on an ecosystem structure incorporating not only technical, but social, political, economic and legislative aspects. Each element of the ecosystem represents a key component of a sustainable Open Data initiative. Through an extensive literature review of international best practice and liaising with stakeholders, the ecosystem elements evolved, along with common principles and challenges. Finally, the outcome of this study is a concrete roadmap to progress the vision of Open Data in Ireland. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
