## Open data outside academia

### Open Government

Many government organisations are publishing some of the data they acquire openly for the sake of transparency and accountability, the ideals of the Open Government movement.

### Open GLAM

Also in the heritage sector (GLAM stands for galleries, libraries, archives and museums), there have been initiatives since 2010 to make data on collections openly available to the public.

The Library UvA/HvA is doing just that, for example.
