This document discusses how open data can help reduce corruption. It defines open data as data that can be freely used, shared, and redistributed, subject to attribution. Open data improves accessibility for oversight bodies to monitor for corruption. It also enables citizen participation in monitoring public authorities and creates applications to report corruption. Open data can help track beneficial ownership, improve integrity declarations, and allow journalists to investigate corruption cases. Indonesia has launched an open data portal with over 1000 datasets from various sectors. The Publish What You Pay Indonesia group develops spatial maps and mobile apps on extractive industries data and advocates for transparency in mining regions.

2. What and Why Open Data ?
Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed
by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute
and sharealike.
The full Open Definition gives precise details as to what this means.
To summarize the most important :
•Availability and Access: the data must be available as a whole and at no
more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably by downloading over the
internet. The data must also be available in a convenient and modifiable form.
•Re-use and Redistribution: the data must be provided under terms that
permit re-use and redistribution including the intermixing with other datasets.
•Universal Participation: everyone must be able to use, re-use and
redistribute - there should be no discrimination against fields of endeavour or
against persons or groups. For example, ‘non-commercial’ restrictions that would
prevent ‘commercial’ use, or restrictions of use for certain purposes (e.g. only in
education), are not allowed.
