I had the pleasure of reading the recently published report, "Open Data in Scotland: A Blueprint for Unlocking Innovation, Collaboration and Impact," over the weekend. It was an insightful read, and I'd like to extend my thanks to The Scottish Government (Martin Macfie/Shona Nicol/Louise Meikleham and the rest of the team) for commissioning this important work, to Jack Lord from Open Data Services Co-operative for his thorough and thoughtful writing, and to fractals co-op for expertly facilitating the workshops that helped shaped the report. It was also fantastic to see the contribution that Open Data Scotland made to the evidence within the report. I'm eager to see how the Scottish Government will act on the report's recommendations, which hold great promise for advancing Scotland's open data landscape. #OpenData #OpenDataScotland #Innovation #Scotland #Collaboration #OpenSource #Data

A happy birthday to our partners 360Giving 🎈 Over 9 years, 360Giving has helped 279 funders open up data about over 1 million grants, worth more than £265 billion. Their work is a real example of how data can lead to impact, with over 70,000 people a year using this data to make grant-making more informed, effective and strategic.
360Giving is 9 years old today! 🎂 Last week we launched UKGrantmaking.org, and as we reach another anniversary we want to take the opportunity to celebrate how far we’ve come – and to thank some of the trustees and supporters who were with us from the start of this journey to make grantmaking in the UK more informed, effective and strategic. Over the past 9 years, we’ve developed the 360Giving Data Standard for sharing grants data, grown a range of support options for grantmakers who want to use it to share their data, created tools like GrantNav and 360Insights to search the data, and used the data to support our understanding of grantmaking and civil society in the UK through reports and analysis. 📈279 funders have published over 1 million grants worth over £265 billion! Over 70,000 people access and use this data each year. We’d like to shout out our amazing Trustees, Stewardship Committee members, partners, funders, supporters, and funders who share their data. We couldn’t have come this far without all of your support. As we look to the future with annual editions of UKGrantmaking, continued development of the Data Standard, improvements to our tools and more deep dives and analysis, we’d like to invite everyone to join us in what comes next. ➡ Take a look at the data and insights on UKGrantmaking.org – and if you're part of a funder who wants to be included next year and learn even more, take a look at our support options or get in touch to talk about how we can help you to share your data: https://lnkd.in/eXT7WDiw
