Open Government Information and Data Programme

2. Government policy and intentions…

3. What is “open data”?
“Open data is data that anyone can access, use and share.” (Open Data Institute

4. Foundations for Open Government Data and Information
Data.govt.nz

5. NZ Government Open Access and Licensing (NZGOAL) Framework
Guidance to publicly funded agencies on how to apply Creative Commons licences to information data and content, published digitally or in hardcopy.
Copyright = ownership
Licence = permissions to re-use (assigned by the copyright owner)

6. NZ Data and Information Management Principles, 2011 (NZDIMP)

7. Summing up NZDIMP & NZGOAL
Open & Reusable Data =
Non-proprietary format
+ Machine-readable
+ Licensed for reuse

9. NZ Declaration on Open and Transparent Government, 2011
Government direction to government agencies to proactively release all:
publicly funded data
non-personal and unclassified
high potential value for re-use
managed according to the Principles
licensed for re-use (NZGOAL)
published on Data.govt.nz

10. The Programme
Works across both central and local government to encourage and support release of data
Engages with data users to understand demand and advocate for data release
Engage with potential data users to raise awareness of the growing public asset they could be making use of

11. How are we going about this?
Working with Data Champions to support the culture change required
Roundtables/Open Data for Business (OD4B) methodology
Fellowships – to disrupt agency culture and lead positive change
Flying squad – pool and deploy expertise rather than replicate everywhere

12. Open by design = closed (protected) by design
(Different mind sets,
but really just 2 sides
of the same coin)
NZ Police a good example

13. ANZ – Truckometer (Don’t second-guess what the data can be used for…)

14. HERE Maps
- CC v4.0
- MPI - Food Safety Inspection data
- RAMM Data

16. Using open data to inform
On the left is the location of manuka forests in NZ
On the right is the location of tutu plants in NZ
Manuka honey returns 10 x more income than other types of honey, particularly to the German market
So there is a programme of planting new manuka forest to support the honey industry
There is also a programme to return nitrogen back into the soil. There are a number of plants that could be used, but tutu was chosen as it’s a NZ native
However, tutu has a toxin called tutin which, if it gets into a beehive, spoils the honey
As you can see from the open data, tutu is located everywhere that manuka forest are also located
By using the open data, you can see outside the silos of activity, that the NZ Government is supporting the honey industry, while at the same time destroying it through the planting of tutu
