[@OKau] [@OKFNau] business case for open data projects

Fri Apr 3 04:32:44 UTC 2015

The WA policy looks good:
http://www.dpc.wa.gov.au/Consultation/Pages/WAWholeofGovernmentOpenDataPolicy-Draft.aspx

Maybe WA could run its own event in an intra-agency style so as to upskill
people within agencies on how they might get their various datasets ready
for publishing.

That would help with the implementation area, as per

To support implementation of this Policy, agencies are encouraged to
develop their own agency-level open data policy – e.g. giving consideration
to how they can collect or create data in a way that supports downstream
data processing and the release of data to the public in manners consistent
with the principles outlined in this Policy and without the need for costly
retrofitting; and identifying how they will effectively manage their data,
such as by keeping a data inventory or asset register.

Recognising agencies will start from differing levels of data openness and
capacities in data collection and maintenance, agencies are encouraged to
move progressively towards a position of data openness, as outlined in this
Policy.

It is great to see this recognised by WA as the work within agencies is
really where open data gets to that #winning level.

Hoots!
