Many US companies have patents on identity, social and payment data. There is a need to require the European Public Sector and EC funded projects to not fall into this trap and provide open data sets on social, identity and payment.
By ensuring there are open data sets available from the European public sector and EC funded projects will remove barriers from social innovators who often rely too much on Facebook, Twitter ect. for data. It will create more space for innovators to build easier and better tools.
