Data

Open Data is more common in the public sector than in private sector
Minnesota requires Govt. Data to be open, minus a bunch of exceptions ( mostly around PII )
Private sector is only required to open up some specific reporting data

Important considerations

Primacy/Source,
MetaData,
Age,
Accessibility,
Machine Readability,
Discoverability,
Access Requirements,
Public Domain,
Permanence
