Open data means sharing data openly for everyone to use. Companies like Namma Yatri and Digital Science use open data to improve their services and encourage new ideas. For example, Namma Yatri’s cab services in Bengaluru don’t take a commission, which helps drivers earn more and keep their vehicles in good shape. By sharing data openly in the ONDC network, Namma Yatri sets a good example for fair transportation services.

Events like symposiums about open science data are important for learning and sharing knowledge. These events help the public understand that scientific research should be free and available to everyone. For example, discussions about how the human body adapts to space at these events lead to new discoveries.

The Security Service of Ukraine’s actions against Russian radar stations show how open data can be used in politics. Working together like this demonstrates how being open and transparent can protect a country’s security.

Digital Science promotes open research through campaigns like Research Transformation and tools like Symplectic and Figshare. By following open principles, companies like Digital Science encourage collaboration and sharing knowledge.

Digital Earth Africa offers free satellite images and data for African groups to use. This shows how open data can help address the effects of climate change. Using the open data cube system helps people make better decisions and involves Africans in observing the Earth.

In conclusion, open data is important for making positive changes and sparking new ideas in different fields. By being open, working together, and including everyone, companies can create a world that is more transparent and connected, leaving a legacy of progress for the future. Consumers should know about these practices to make smart choices and hold companies responsible for what they say.
