A growing open data divide?

G7 Analysis

10% of 1,290 surveyed datasets met the open definition

Up on 7% in 2013

But timeliness is a major issue…

Impacts

Rankings

Country level exploration … and FAQs

• Is openness the same as transparency?

• Why has country X invested heavily and not achieved a better overall ranking?

• Why has impact gone down for a country between two editions of the ODB?

• What did country x do to jump so many places?

• How can we improve our ranking?

SO WHAT?…

United Kingdom

Philippines

New Zealand

Indonesia

RecommendationsImproving rankings and improving practice

• High-level political commitment to proactive disclosure of public sector data, particularly the data most critical to accountability

• Sustained investment in supporting and training a broad cross-section of civil society and entrepreneurs to understand and use data effectively

• Contextualizing open data tools and approaches to local needs, for example by making data visually accessible in countries with lower literacy levels.

• Support for city-level open data initiatives as a complement to national-level programmes

• Legal reform to ensure that guarantees of the right to information and the right to privacy underpin open data initiatives
