What does it mean to make open data accessible?

Making data available is a key part of being transparent, whether that’s in your organization, to your stakeholders, civic technologists, or a non-technical citizen.

Publishing data is a great first step, but we can do better to serve each of these groups and enable them to fully and critically assess information available.

In this talk, we will discuss the needs of each group and what you can do to build your practice of trust and transparency in a meaningful way. We’ll also discuss how to make data accessible to those with disabilities, ensuring everyone has equal access to information.
