The Open Data Handbook Nepali Version brings Open Knowledge International's widely used handbook, covering the legal, social and technical sides of open data, into Nepali for the first time. It walks readers through what open data is, how to open it up, why it matters, and how to make it both technically available and genuinely reusable, from licensing to file formats to real Nepali open data examples.
Originally written in English and translated into 18+ languages worldwide, the handbook helps close the gap between government data being published and citizens actually being able to use it. By making the material available in Nepali, OKN aims to help civil society organisations run open data awareness programmes and support government staff and citizens in understanding open data on their own terms.
