## Abstract

Open Data is data that everyone can access, use or share [[ODI](https://theodi.org/what-is-open-data)] and Open Data increasingly plays a role for achieving the post-2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals [[WB](https://blogs.worldbank.org/ic4d/new-report-how-open-data-can-drive-sustainable-development)]. The main obstacles to overcome in order to open data are legal and technical barriers, which will not allow reuse or make it on a technical level really hard because of the lack of interoperability.

We see three main areas for Open Data:
* Open Government Data
* Open Data as part of Open Science
* Open Cultural Data (e.g. catalog data, scans with OCRed texts, images)

We will cover all three areas and discuss motivation for individual players especially libraries or [GLAM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLAM_(industry_sector)) institutions to produce Open Data as well as possible drawbacks.

As a practical part we will look closer at the collaborative knowledge base Wikidata and make hands-on exercises about contributing as well as reusing data there.
