The 2016 Open Data Research Symposium (#ODRS16) is crowd-sourcing questions that if answered could radically increase our understanding of open data

#ODRS16 will offer open data researchers an opportunity to reflect critically on the findings of their completed research, and seek to create cohesion within the research community regarding the potential impacts of open data.

Although the ODRS Call for Abstracts closed in the beginning of June, an invitation is extended to all members of the open data community to help shape the event’s program and highlight areas of particular importance to the field through our active Call for Questions.

Please share the questions that researchers should be asking to increase our understanding of open data.

You can submit your questions from now until October 1st using the form below, or by using #ODRS16 on Twitter.

The questions posed in the lead up to the event will be used to:

• Help identify which submitted abstracts explore topics of particular interest to the open data research community
• Craft the ODRS program to ensure sessions are targeted at the most pressing questions
• Build a collaborative research agenda for the field
• Inform specific research efforts and synergize collaborations during the ODRS
