31.  Think about open data as an output from any
process
 Consider open data output as part of new
systems or process reviews just as you would
consider information security and general
reporting requirements
 When acquiring content from third parties,
seek permission to make it available to the
public if possible
 Incorporate provisions for releasing data from
outsourced service providers in contracts
 Publishing – don’t just think glossy brochure
or flashy website, think machine-readable!

33. Typical NZGOAL adoption process
• Executive level Data Champion
• Includes NZGOAL in organisation’s strategic and business
policies
• Operational level Coordinator
• Connects business groups with NZGOAL requirements:
• Website content and publications staff
• NZGOAL statement on website
• NZGOAL statements on publications and downloadable
web content

34. Set NZGOAL policy for your institution
•Include NZGOAL in your donor agreements
•Licence copyright works and non-copyright
materials for re-use
•Develop a process for copyright owners of
existing resources to allow re-use
•Draw up a policy and procedure for
addressing orphan works

35.  For copyright works, apply the default licence -the Creative
Commons Attribution 4.0 licence – whenever possible
 Use the NZGOAL Review and Release process to identify
whether a more restricted CC licence is needed
 For non-copyright materials, make clear “no-known rights”
statements
