Our Mission: Planting the Campus Data flag
Different Website Concepts
Publicity
- Let people know we exist / that we are doing this at our schools
- Showcase effective examples of Open Data (on campuses or otherwise)
Dialogue about Campus Data
- We are starting a dialogue with others
- Allow other members to contribute content to the site, and allow people to see what others are doing
- People from other schools submit content through a form
Boilerplate / Quick Start Resources
- Provide raw template code / action plans that can be used to demonstrate to local admin the value of open data
- Write tutorials to make it easy for beginning programmers to get excited about working with APIs
Site Goals
- Convey our mission
- Who's involved
- How to join the community
- Examples of success
- Stories of impact
- APIs
- Links to resources (largely non-technical)
- Education / contribution
- Inspire people to read the guide
Problems we are trying to solve
- People don't know they can make an impact
- People don't know others are thinking about this issue
- Students (chief focus)
- University administrators
- Students aren't aware of the open data efforts happening at their schools
