“Open data is data that anyone can access, use and
share.”
(Open Data Institute

9. Data.govt.nz

10. 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

11. The Programme
• Works across both central and local government to
encourage and support release of data
• 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

12. Open by Design
Open by design = closed (protected) by design
(Different mind sets,
but really just 2 sides
of the same coin)
NZ Police a good example

13. Open by Design
Themes:
1. Data management
processes
2. Knowledge & skills
3. Customer support &
engagement
4. Investment & financial
performance
5. Strategic oversight
Maturity levels:
1. Initial
2. Repeatable
3. Defined
4. Managed
5. Optimising

14. Open by Design
 Embed open data output as a requirement
of all new systems
 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 Guidance Note)
