什么是开放数据？ (What is Open Data?)

In simple terms, Open Data means the kind of data which is open for anyone and everyone for access, modification, reuse, and sharing.

简而言之，“ 开放数据”是指对任何人和所有人开放以供访问，修改，重用和共享的数据类型。

Open Data derives its base from various “open movements” such as open source, open hardware, open government, open science etc.

开放数据源于各种“开放运动”，例如开放源代码，开放硬件，开放政府，开放科学等。

Governments, independent organizations, and agencies have come forward to open the floodgates of data to create more and more open data for free and easy access.

各国政府，独立组织和机构已经挺身而出，打开数据的闸门，以创建越来越多的开放数据，以供免费和轻松访问。

为什么开放数据很重要？ (Why Is Open Data Important?)

Open data is important because the world has grown increasingly data-driven. But if there are restrictions on the access and use of data, the idea of data-driven business and governance will not be materialized.

开放数据非常重要，因为世界越来越以数据为驱动力。 但是，如果对数据的访问和使用有限制，那么数据驱动型业务和治理的想法将无法实现。

Therefore, open data has its own unique place. It can allow a fuller understanding of the global problems and universal issues. It can give a big boost to businesses. It can be a great impetus for machine learning. It can help fight global problems such as disease or crime or famine. Open data can empower citizens and hence can strengthen democracy. It can streamline the processes and systems that the society and governments have built. It can help transform the way we understand and engage with the world.

因此，开放数据有其独特的位置。 它可以使人们对全球问题和普遍问题有更全面的了解。 它可以极大地促进企业发展。 这可能是机器学习的强大动力。 它可以帮助解决疾病，犯罪或饥荒等全球性问题。 开放数据可以增强公民权能，因此可以加强民主。 它可以简化社会和政府建立的流程和系统。 它可以帮助改变我们理解和与世界互动的方式。

So here’s my list of 15 awesome Open Data sources:
