This report is the first in a series, the overall objective of which is to provide a better understanding of the links between the worlds of open government data, open science and education, which are tightly interrelated but seem to be often disconnected from each other in their current activities and recommendations. In this first report we characterise three types of (potential) users and providers of open data in the research and academic contexts. This characterisation is done by developing three ‘personas’ (a climate change researcher, a lecturer on data journalism and an open data officer).
