Marco Alfano, Biagio Lenzitti, Giosuè Lo Bosco, Davide Taibi · 2016
Open data is publicly available data that can be universally and readily accessed, used, and redistributed. Open data holds particular potential in the health and social sectors but, presently, health and social data are often published in a 'closed' format. There are different tools that allow to 'open' data, clean, structure and process them in order to elaborate them and build advanced services but, unfortunately, there is no single tool that can be used to perform all different tasks.
