NSO Objectives (NSDS)
• Produce high-quality
statistics
• Authoritative published
statistical record
• Greater use and usability
of statistics

Open Data Objectives
• Improved public services
• Greater transparency and
accountability
• Innovation in use of data
However: NSOs do not always feature prominently in Open Government Data Initiatives

OPEN DATA & NSOs: Strategic Significance
• NSOs produce many products considered essential under
Open Data
• Open Data strongly supports NSOs’ primary mission(s)
• Provide technical leadership, inter-agency cooperation, in
line with goals of National Statistical System
• Contribute to broader government priorities

OPEN DATA: CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES FOR
NATIONAL STATISTICAL OFFICES
Opportunities
• Open Data increases use/-reuse of data; maximize investments in statistics and data production
• Open Data can reduce costs
• Increase in NSO profile, enhanced reputation
• Improved data quality
4
Challenges
• Understanding data privacy considerations; safeguarding confidentiality
• Legal issues: aligning policies, consistent, clear licensing
• Capacity & resource constraints in implementation
• Engaging the broader open data ecosystem

Open Data Means:
• Open License
• No Access
Restrictions
• Open Data
Formats

ROLES FOR NSOs IN OPEN DATA
• Provide technical expertise
• Establish and oversee standards
• Provide training (in- and outside government)
• Engage international community
• Rarely are NSO’s the “lead” implementation agency

NEXT STEPS
• Share findings more broadly with NSOs – continue
discussion
• Standards, Metadata & Ontologies
• Improved Tools and APIs
• Synergies with Open Data Watch
