Many agencies, however, seem to hesitate...
Ministry of interior asked TNO to study open data policies in six countries:
US, UK, Australia, Denmark, Spain and Estonia (not enough evidence).
Research questions:
Strategy: what open data strategies are in place?
Implementation: what instruments are in place to implement these
strategies?
Drivers and barriers: what drives or hampers the implementation of
open data policies?
Effects: what are the effects of open data policies?
Advice: what can the Dutch government learn from these international
experiences?

Open data strategy: democracy
The transparency of Open Data helps a society to build a democracy and
execute their rights
“…We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiviness in Government”

Open data implementation
Policy instruments focused on:
External change, e.g. stimulating Re-use of PSI
Internal change, e.g. preparing governments to open up
Countries showed a broad mix of policy instruments:
Education & training: guidelines, awards, knowledge exchange
Voluntary approaches: policy programmes, publication schedules,
Economic instruments: hackdays, App contests, financing open data
portals
Legislation and control: PSI law, FoI law, standards, monitoring
