Pieter Morlion wrote an article with insights on closing the gap between data and citizens:
"For over a decade, we have sumo-wrestled data sources. Lost limbs in battles for integration and our sanity in standardisation. AND WHAT FOR? To have the sweaty fruits of our labour rust on open data portals! It's not sexy, it's hidden and nobody ever uses it. This is a passionate plea for making data speak. For letting it tell the stories of people. If people don't come to the data, let the data come to the people." In the article, 5 reasons are mentioned why data should be visualized, together with 5 nice examples from the Polivisu Project, Waze Broadcasters, Manyways, Telraam, Waylay and Stockholm.
