Stop hugging your data Set it free

Government must shift….

From Retail…

… to Wholesale

Why should we free our data?

People have funded the collection of the data, and want/are entitled to access it

Public access improves quality Marginal cost of distribution is minimal Agencies do not have the resources or the

innovative skills to respond to the variety of needs/uses of the data

Increases economic and public value

How do we set it free?
