Finnish open data policy thinking Measures are taken to further the accessibility
of the public sector's digital information resources– active provision of data
Evidence rationalize– services and applications emerge as data
is made available
EU Digital Agenda highlights open data – open single markets

Finnish open data policy actions Government resolution to increase re-use of public sector
data (March 2011) Government programme (2011-2015) GIDE strategy: open data and pilots (2011 on-going)
Availability of public data working group (Ministry of Transport and Communications 2011)
Act on Information Management Governance in Public Administration (forced in June 2011)

Open infrastructure challenges VISIBILITY
– portals, websites, service directories, multi-channels etc. CONSISTENCY
– described in a coherent manner – information architecture, metadata repository
EFFICIENCY– support services to facilitate the use - clearing house function,
help desk, competence building– long-term funding – first-step cost sharing between stakeholders
e.g. income from selling data and interface services SCALABILITY
– maintenance and distribution e.g. cloud, open interfaces DEMAND DRIVEN
– prioritization of datasets, engagement with developers, monitoring use

What is open data
Data which is made available for re-use – machine readable (technical)– common licences (legal) – free of charge (economical)
Public data: handling not subject to statutory limitations Governments, companies, citizens all collect and use
data From data to reuse: services, applications, algorithms,
visualisations… Accessibility: requires action in a society – political and
collective issue

GIDE project Finland's future is in digital services
To promote the growth of digital services by increasing public-private cooperation– Strategic partners, companies, associations, researchers, entrepreneurs and
people are called to join in
To draw up a roadmap for the digital economy in which the challenges of society have been converted into opportunities
– Experiments, pilots, new practises
Cross-sectoral action areas– Open data– Cloud services– Start up citizen– Green ICT– ICT&work– ICT research– ICT infrastructure
