A method includes providing one or more graphical user interfaces to a first user of an open data ecosystem. The open data ecosystem includes a plurality of public channels and a plurality of private channels. The users of the open data ecosystem are able to receive messages on each of the plurality of public channels. The method also includes receiving first user input from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces. The method further includes configuring one or more channels of the plurality of public channels or the plurality of private channels based on the first user input received from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: providing one or more graphical user interfaces to a first user of an open data ecosystem, wherein: the open data ecosystem comprises a plurality of public channels and a plurality of private channels; and users of the open data ecosystem are able to receive messages on each of the plurality of public channels; receiving first user input indicating channel configuration information from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces; and configuring, by a computer processing device, one or more channels of the plurality of public channels or the plurality of private channels based on the channel configuration information received from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method claim 1, wherein the first user input indicates account information for the first user and wherein configuring the one or more channels comprises: creating an account for the first user based on the account information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method claim 1, wherein the first user input indicates channel information for a first channel of the one or more channels and wherein configuring the one or more channels comprises: creating the first channel based on the channel information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first user input indicates updated channel information for a first channel of the one or more channels and wherein configuring the one or more channels comprises: updating the channel information for the first channel based on the updated channel information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method claim 1, wherein the first user input indicates one or more users and access permissions for the one or more users to the one or more channels and wherein configuring the one or more channels comprises: granting access to the one or more channels for the one or more users, based on the access permissions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first graphical user interface of the one or more graphical user interfaces is configured to provide statistics related to the one or more channels. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first graphical user interface of the one or more graphical user interfaces is configured to provide one or more of: a listing of the one or more channels, wherein the one or more channels are associated with the first user; one or more statuses of the one or more channels; and statistics related to each of the one or more channels. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first graphical user interface of the one or more graphical user interfaces is configured to indicate existing channel information for a first channel of the one or more channels. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method claim 1, wherein the first user input indicates a request to convert a first channel of the one or more channels from private to public and wherein configuring the one or more channels comprises: determining whether the first channel satisfies one or more conditions for converting the first channel from private to public. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method claim 9, wherein configuring the one or more channels further comprises: converting the first channel from private to public in response to determining that the first channel satisfies the one or more conditions; and providing a second graphical user interface indicating that the first channel has been converted from private to public. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method claim 9, wherein configuring the one or more channels further comprises: providing a second graphical user interface indicating that the first channel has not been converted from private to public in response to determining that the first channel does not satisfy the one or more conditions. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method claim 9, wherein the second graphical user interface indicates one or more reasons why the one or more conditions were not satisfied. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein determining whether the first channel satisfies the one or more conditions comprises: providing a second graphical user interface to an administrator of the open data ecosystem, wherein the second graphical user interface indicates a listing of channels that are public or are awaiting approval for conversion from private to public. ### Claim 14 An apparatus, comprising: a computer processing device to: provide one or more graphical user interfaces to a first user of an open data ecosystem, wherein: the open data ecosystem comprises a plurality of public channels and a plurality of private channels; and users of the open data ecosystem are able to receive messages on each of the plurality of public channels; receive first user input indicating channel configuration information from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces; and configure one or more channels of the plurality of public channels or the plurality of private channels based on the channel configuration information received from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The apparatus claim 14, wherein the first user input indicates account information for the first user and wherein to configure the one or more channels the computer processing device is to: create an account for the first user based on the account information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The apparatus claim 14, wherein the first user input indicates channel information for a first channel of the one or more channels and wherein to configure the one or more channels the computer processing device is to: create the first channel based on the channel information. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the first user input indicates updated channel information for a first channel of the one or more channels and wherein to configure the one or more channels the computer processing device is to: update the channel information for the first channel based on the updated channel information. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The apparatus claim 14, wherein the first user input indicates one or more users and access permissions for the one or more users to the one or more channels and wherein to configure the one or more channels the computer processing device is to: grant access to the one or more channels for the one or more users, based on the access permissions. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The apparatus of claim 14, wherein a first graphical user interface of the one or more graphical user interfaces is configured to provide statistics related to the one or more channels. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instruction stored thereon that, when executed by a computer processing device, cause the computer processing device to: provide one or more graphical user interfaces to a first user of an open data ecosystem, wherein: the open data ecosystem comprises a plurality of public channels and a plurality of private channels; and users of the open data ecosystem are able to receive messages on each of the plurality of public channels; receive first user input indicating channel configuration information from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces; and configure, by the computer processing device, one or more channels of the plurality of public channels or the plurality of private channels based on the channel configuration information received from the first user via the one or more graphical user interfaces.
