Open data
What is it and why does it matter?
The facts and evidence to enable public, voluntary and private sector organisations to:
• Provide better local services for people – through planning and targeting for
specific local priorities and needs.
• Support strong communities where people feel they belong – through services
that are more open, transparent and accountable to local residents and
communities.
• Secure cost-savings and efficiencies for public sector organisations and
partnerships.
• Support businesses to grow and create jobs – through developing local
economies, and secure economic growth.
• A means to unlock facts and evidence held in different organisational and
system silos, and thus realise the benefits above.
• Ensuring that data can be used in new, innovative ways by new audiences
including local residents, communities and businesses.
Data
Open Data
The prize is a web of data, where local and national sources from many organisations can
be quickly and easily brought together and re-used in a wide range of ways.
Open Data: why it matters
Some examples (1)
Integrating local health and social care:the Better Care Fund
DCLG priority
Jane is part of an Integrated Care
Team.
She needs data from national and local
organisations to help her plan and
deliver personalised care packages,
and know whether these are making a
difference to the overall targets and
objectives for her area.
The data sources that Jane needs and
uses include:
● National data on avoidable emergency
admissions; admissions to residential
and care homes
● Local data on pressures within adult
social care; effectiveness of recovery and
rehabilitation measures.
The prize is a web of data, where local and national sources from many organisations can be quickly and
easily brought together and re-used in a wide range of ways.
Community participation e.g. Neighbourhood Planning
DCLG priority
Geoff is a Parish Councillor,
leading a local group to prepare
a Neighbourhood Plan.
In order to establish a coherent plan for their
neighbourhood, the group needs evidence
from a range of sources:• DCLG’s statistics on deprivation.
• The Local Authority’s assessment of the
housing market and land availability/allocations
for housing across the local area.
• Office for National Statistics data on the local
population and demography.
• Ofsted data on performance of local schools
• Police data on local crimes.
The prize is a web of data, where local and national sources from many organisations can be quickly
and easily brought together and re-used in a wide range of ways.
Open Data: why it matters
Some examples (2)
Doing business with the Local Authority and other local agencies: e.g. procurement & contracts
DCLG priority
Alan runs a local construction
company, and wants to
explore opportunities for new
business with his Local
Authority.
To help him do this, Alan needs data from:• DCLG – on numbers and types of households,
and Local Authority budgets and expenditure.
• The Local Authority, on spending over £500
under specific services.
• Neighbouring councils, on contracts awarded
for construction projects.
• Companies house, on suppliers of similar
services.

and easily brought together and re-used in a wide range of ways.

Vision and potential for end-2015A platform for routinely publishing all DCLG
datasets in fully open, accessible and re-usable formats
Helping Jane, Geoff and Alan to quickly find and use data to solve their problems by re-using DCLG’s data
alongside related sources.Which means
An integrated, open, accessible source of DCLG’s data, including:
Homelessness
statisticsHousing

statistics
Arms-Length
bodies
Maps and
geography
Other Central Government sources – e.g.

Linking new sources for a better, more open
understanding of policy objectives and outcomes
The web of data…what can it do?
A prototype policy tool to:
• measure the efficiency of dealing with fire emergencies in
London Boroughs.
• estimate the impact of change as one or more stations are
closed.
• Uses London Fire Brigade’s public data on
incidents
• Blended with data from mobile phones (Telefonica)
on concentrations of people at different locations.
Response times
weighted by mobile
phone activity

Fire Station before
& after closure
Enabling 3rd party innovation and
new insights
spendnetwork.com Illustreets.co.uk
Brings together local data on spending,
contracts and suppliers.
Covers Districts, Counties and Central
Government Departments
Blends national data -
e.g. on house prices,
rents and deprivation -
with local sources - e.g.
on schools, and crime.
The rise (and rise) of Local
Authority open data sites…
A broad, strong Partnership
There are currently 21 22* Hampshire Hub partners. These include:
● 11 District Councils

Future vision and next steps
Within the next 5 years:
All public organisations will routinely release datasets for users to
quickly discover, combine and interpret in their local context, to
support more open, accountable and cost-effective public services,
and local economic development and growth.
1. Publish based on user demand, balancing costs and benefits
2. Work pro-actively in partnerships to :
● engage with users so that data is actively used alongside related external sources
to deliver innovative new tools and insights.
● build and spread best practice based on common standards.
3. Use our own and related third party sources more efficiently and cost-effectively
when designing and implementing policies and programmes.
How?(principles)
Questions for discussion
1. What are your priorities for better use of data? Where
do you think the biggest benefits are to be found?
2. What opportunities are you aware of to exploit data to
improve services and improve efficiency that aren’t
being taken up?
3. What are the barriers? Skills? IT? Awareness?
4. How can we help?
