Empowering citizens to turn open data into compelling insights

This session will share our learnings from building a data visualisation platform– https://visualize.admin.ch. Commissioned and co-created by the Swiss federal administration, we envisioned a new way to better serve citizens through linked open data. A self-service interface empowers users to visualise open data based on smart defaults and boosts the reach of open data with options for sharing. Visualisations are embedded with proper attribution and reliable reproducibility. You will learn all about the underlying design principles, the impact of participatory development methods and the benefits of user-centric open-data services.
