1. Open Data
Open Government Information and Data
Programme

2. Government policy and
intentions…

3. What is “open data”?
“Open data is data that anyone can access, use and
share.”
(Open Data Institute
https://theodi.org/guides/what-open-data)

4. Foundations for Open Government
Data and Information
Data.govt.nz

5. NZ Government Open Access and
Licensing (NZGOAL) Framework
Guidance to publicly funded agencies on how to
apply Creative Commons licences to information
data and content, published digitally or in
hardcopy.
 Copyright = ownership
 Licence = permissions to re-use (assigned by the
copyright owner)

6. NZ Data and Information
Management Principles, 2011
(NZDIMP)
Licensed
Non-proprietary
Machine-readable
By default
(unless there is a
good reason not to)

7. Data.govt.nz

8. NZ Declaration on Open and
Transparent Government, 2011
Government direction to government agencies to
proactively release all:
• publicly funded data
• non-personal and unclassified
• high potential value for re-use
• managed according to the Principles
• licensed for re-use (NZGOAL)
• published on Data.govt.nz

9. The Programme
• Works across both central and local government to
encourage and support release of data – to be open
by design
• Engages with data users to understand demand and
advocate for data release
• Engage with potential data users to raise awareness
of the growing public asset they could be making use
of

10. Open by Design
Open by design = closed (protected) by design
(Different mind sets,
but really just 2 sides
of the same coin)
Open by design includes
Privacy IMPACT assessments
Open Data Maturity Model
https://theodi.org/guides/maturity-model

11. Open by Design
 Embed open data output as a requirement
of all new systems – just another reporting
requirement
 Incorporate open data output into
processes/publishing
 Require quality data as part of any new
contracts for services – that can be released
as open data (NZGOAL Procurement
