[ok-scotland] Scottish Government Open Data Strategy: Draft document open for comment

Wed Nov 19 13:20:15 UTC 2014

Thanks all for comments- will provide consolidated comments next week.

But on one below.. whether more than FOI depends on how much people currently put in publication schemes so no simple answer.    Generally we would expect a more proactive approach.  But not just an issue of "how much" but "how" too e.g format, regularity of updates etc

We are not seeking to change current arrangements on  HE research.

The implications for research data are interesting. Does the Working Group have an expectation that more of it should be open than is already required under FOI and compliance with HEFCE and Research Council policies on open access and data sharing?

1. Who is covered by "all organisations", para 6? Is this the whole of Scottish public sector, eg including universities, Health Boards, museums and archives...?
" It is proposed that by the end of 2015 all organisations should have completed and published an open data publication plan, setting out their commitment to make data open and identifying what data they will make open. "

Interesting question. I don't what the intention of the Working Group was, but it seems reasonable to suppose that their proposal should apply to all organisations that are subject to FOI in Scotland. These are listed in Schedule 1 of the act:
