The aim of this thesis is to explain how data can be used to create new solutions. Majority of people don’t understand how open government works and what kind of information is available. With this thesis the understanding of open data and solutions that are created with it, became more understandable. The aim is to explain open data with real business cases, which describe and help people everyday.
There are thousands of open interfaces what allow us to connect, search and visualize information that government is collecting everyday. By using this meta data for developing new services has became a phenomena. Practical examples have been used to show what has been done. There are also different options that open data can be used, like research, education, automation and applications.
Solutions called Matkapaiva.fi, which is using Finnish transport agency and Finnish meteorology institute open data application programming interface, to provide a timetable comparison application is a new and innovative mashup. The idea comes from the need to search available transportation types to get from point A to point b. The weather information, which visualizes the temperature in the departure city and the destination, is a combination of different sources that can be used.
