Think about open data as an output from any process Consider open data output as part of new systems or process reviews just as you would consider information security and general reporting requirements When acquiring content from third parties, seek permission to make it available to the public if possible Incorporate provisions for releasing data from outsourced service providers in contracts Publishing – don’t just think glossy brochure or flashy website, think machine-readable!
Typical NZGOAL adoption process Executive level Data Champion Includes NZGOAL in organisation’s strategic and business policies Operational level Coordinator Connects business groups with NZGOAL requirements: Website content and publications staff NZGOAL statement on website NZGOAL statements on publications and downloadable web content
