Vast amounts of data is being published by governments as open data (e.g. https://data.gov.ie). Typically the decision to publish a dataset in an open manner is mandated but decision made in isolation as to how it could be integrated with other datasets. This research would focus on development of an App/Tool that would bring together such datasets to support addressing a societal challenge. This project provides a rich opportunity both to research current approaches to publication of open data and how best to bring open data – proposed by the student – together in support of a stakeholder (citizen, policy maker, etc.) – again proposed by the student
