Challenges to Open Data provision


Overcoming the Challenges- Benefit Measurement

• Open Data released to generate economic value

• Published under Open Government Licence (OGL v2)

• No user registration• Little direct feedback• Difficult to measure usage• Even more difficult to measure value


Overcoming the Challenges- Benefit Measurement

• Voluntary Registration– Traceable users– Direct feedback on usage and value– Self-help user community– User confidence to develop business

• Provision of service info/standards

• Case study value extrapolation


Overcoming the Challenges- Sustainable Finance

• Publication of Open Data creates real cost to publisher

• HMLR not allowed to cross-subsidise from statutory income

• Which datasets to charge for, to allow provision of the majority for free?


Overcoming the Challenges- Sustainable Finance

• Key customer insight• Knowledge of ‘market value’• Accurate revenue prediction• Understanding of cost of supply• Agility to change and adapt


Summary

• Move to Open Data is inexorable at global, national and organisational level

• Public sector bodies need to adapt rapidly

• Many challenges and opportunities• Achievable• Learn from the lessons of others
