<b><span style="color:#000099; text-decoration:none">announcement</span></b></a>:</span></p>
<p style="line-height:140%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; line-height:140%; color:black">From a basic introduction of the "what and why" of open data, the Handbook goes on to discuss the practicalities of making data open – the "how". It gives advice on everything
from choosing a file format and applying a license, to motivating the community and telling the world. Clear explanations, illustrative examples and technical recommendations make the Handbook suitable for people with all levels of experience, from the absolute
beginner to the seasoned open data professional.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:140%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; line-height:140%; color:black">The Handbook is divided into short chapters which cover individual aspects of open data. It can be read in a single sitting, or dipped into as a reference work.</span></p>
