A survey of Indian open data
A survey of Indian open data
Publishing structured datasets1 openly, called "open data" is gaining momentum worldwide. Government of India has started an open data initiative with the launch of its own portal2. In addition, open data in India is also published by private firms, research institutes and NGOs (Non - Governmental Organizations). Although structured, the datasets do not comply to any a priori defined schema and semantic elements are fragmented across the disparate datasets. We are working on a project in which we aim to semantically aggregate Indian open data. This will help users to browse open data related to an entity and get a one stop entry to all the aspects of that entity. In this paper we discuss a survey conducted as part of this project to get a fair idea of the open data scene in India. This survey helped us to categorize the open data which makes the modeling easier.

Abstract
Publishing structured datasets1 openly, called "open data" is gaining momentum worldwide. Government of India has started an open data initiative with the launch of its own portal2. In addition, open data in India is also published by private firms, research institutes and NGOs (Non - Governmental Organizations). Although structured, the datasets do not comply to any a priori defined schema and semantic elements are fragmented across the disparate datasets. We are working on a project in which we aim to semantically aggregate Indian open data. This will help users to browse open data related to an entity and get a one stop entry to all the aspects of that entity. In this paper we discuss a survey conducted as part of this project to get a fair idea of the open data scene in India. This survey helped us to categorize the open data which makes the modeling easier.
