High Value Public Data
must have one of these
outcomes…
Economic & social
outcomes
Transparency &
democratic outcomes
Efficiency outcomes
Business can use it to add value,
innovate & create new products to
spur economic growth
It reports on the
performance of an agency or
service
It supports cross-sector service
delivery, e.g. other agencies & NGOs
can use it to improve their services
Communities and people can use it
to:
 develop useful
applications/new services
 make informed decisions about
the government services they
use
 make personal decisions that
improve their quality of life
It provides details of
government funding and/or
expenditure
Releasing it for re-use could:
 make it easier for government
agencies to work together
 reduce the cost of providing an
existing government service
 reduce the cost of accessing and
processing this information for
existing users
It provides information about
sustainability and risk.
It provides an evidence base
informing & encouraging
external participation in
policy development
It helps align central &local
government initiatives through a more
coordinated national view of
government data
