Data is compiled from every aspect of our lives. Yet, for too long, policies and technical obstacles kept you and me from access to it. Now, data can be shared instantly as it is gathered, but too many still act as if the old rules of data scarcity still prevail. When datais made available to all who need it and on a real-time basis, it becomes valuable information. How valuable? Think how the U.S.’s decision to allow free access to Global Positioning System data started a global location- based services industry creating billions of dollars of wealth and transforming our lives. Data Dynamite shows how a combination of proven tools let us “tag” data with information that is permanently attached to it, then lets the data be transmitted instantly wherever we insert those same tags. It describes new tools that let us analyze data collaboratively and visualizations that make it come alive. The book shows how the results of these steps can transform every aspect of our lives:
