What is Open (Government) Data?Open Knowledge Foundation – Open Data Handbook

Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.

Essential characteristics:

- Availability and Access: The data must be available as a whole and at no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably by downloading over the internet. The data must also be available in a convenient and modifiable form.

- Reuse and Redistribution: the data must be provided under terms that permit reuse and redistribution including the intermixing with other datasets.

- Universal Participation: everyone must be able to use, reuse and redistribute - there should be no discrimination against fields of endeavour or against persons or groups. For example, ‘non-commercial’ restrictions that would prevent ‘commercial’ use, or restrictions of use for certain purposes (e.g. only in education), are not allowed.

- Interoperability: ensuring the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). In this case, it is the ability to interoperate - or intermix - different datasets.

What is Open (Government) Data?Tim O'Reilly, Carl Malamud et al – Principles of Open Govt Data

- Data Must Be Complete: All public data are made available. Data are electronically stored information or recordings, including but not limited to documents, databases, transcripts, and audio/visual recordings. Public data are data that are not subject to valid privacy, security or privilege limitations, as governed by other statutes.

- Data Must Be Primary: Data are published as collected at the source, with the finest possible level of granularity, not in aggregate or modified forms.

- Data Must Be Timely: Data are made available as quickly as necessary to preserve the value of the data.

- Data Must Be Accessible: Data are available to the widest range of users for the widest range of purposes.

What is Open (Government) Data?Tim O'Reilly, Carl Malamud et al – Principles of Open Govt Data

- Data Must Be Machine Processable: Data are reasonably structured to allow automated processing of it.

- Access Must Be Non-Discriminatory: Data are available to anyone, with no requirement of registration.

- Data Formats Must Be Non-Proprietary: Data are available in a format over which no entity has exclusive control.

- Data Must Be License-free: Data are not subject to any copyright, patent, trademark or trade secret regulation. Reasonable privacy, security and privilege restrictions may be allowed as governed by other statutes.

- Finally, compliance must be reviewable.
