This report summarises the discussion at the seminar Open Data Comes to Market: the Mysterious Case of the Disappearing Apps, which brought together developers, small businesses, government and other public sector officials to try to develop an understanding of what the ideal open data market would look like in the crime and criminal justice sector, in terms of the balances between public and private, small developers and large systems, and different ways of presenting data as accessible information. The seminar consisted of a panel (chaired by Kieron O’Hara, with Hadley Beeman [TSB], Nici Hosfield [Home Office], Dan Lewis [UKCrimestats] & Chris Yiu [Policy Exchange]), followed by an open plenary discussion.
