“Where PSBs moved to marginal and zero
cost charging, the number of re-users
increased by between 1,000% and 10,000%.”
“Lowering charges may attract new types of
re-users, in particular SMEs.”
“Once re-use facilitation processes are
properly organized … they become
embedded in the PSB's public task-funded
activities at no extra cost.”

It’s not just about new data
Scope for “Open Data” also includes data
previously “published” but …
in non-reusable format
with restricted licence
only aimed at specialist groups
only for payment
only in response to requests
difficult to find
65
Challenge charging for government data
Economically sub-
optimal
Licensing inhibits
innovation
Hidden Costs –
marketing, payment
collection, enforcement
Barriers to entry suit
existing customers
No real pressure for
efficiency 66

Creating Sustainable Applications
Do things that matter to people
Make it quick and easy to do – “while you’re still
upset about it”
Use location: input and visualisation
Use simple design
Build in community support, action & stickiness
Sustainable apps come from (social)
entrepreneurs – helped by IT people
69
Open Data does not have to be delivered
digitally
70
Deliver Incrementally

Clear, common, terms and conditions

“You shall not use the data made available through the
GC Open Data Portal in any way which, in the opinion of
Canada, may bring disrepute to or prejudice the
reputation of Canada.”
Standards

Data Publishing – Star Quality

Open Licence (any format)
Make it available as structured data
(e.g. Excel, CSV, instead of PDF)
Use open, standard formats (e.g.
XML, RDF)
Use URLs to identify things (so
people and machines can point at
your data)
Link your data to other people’s data
