  Another factor that may keep administrators away from Open Data is the more or less unconscious 
  
  assumption that, in order to use them, a City Major or Region Governor should be very skilled 
  
  himself, if not with actual programming, with "Web 2.0" tools, modern online services and/or 
  
  general software engineering principles. This is simply not true. Surely, Open Data is something 
  
  that is made*possible*only by modern digital technologies and the Internet, but at the end of the day 
  
  it's "simply" a way to increase transparency, efficiency and cost reductions inside Public 
  
  Administration, and to create local jobs. If these hypotheses are as concrete as this and many other 
  
  studies explain, there is no need for a Major to have programming skills, like social networks or 
  
  have any other personal "2.0" skill or training to see the advantages of Open Data and delegate to 
  
  his or her IT staff their implementation.
