granularity
o in re-usable, machine-readable format
o with appropriate metadata; and
o in aggregate or modified forms if they cannot be released in their original state.

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
Our job to encourage all that to happen!
To encourage and support the release of data and information
To understand the user communities (and raise awareness)
To assess the impact of re-use
The Programme
Publishing processes
Open by design = closed by design(2 sides of the same coin)
Open by Default, Open by Design
It is expected that open data will lead to:
Increased social and economic benefits (through new products and services)
Increased efficiencies Increased transparency and democracy
So, why?
Mogeo - Campermate
Mogeo - MarineMate
Mogeo – Pest Identification
Mogeo – NZ Fishing Rules
ThunderMaps
Are there any location based events to notify the public about?
The delivery mechanism already exists,
all that is needed is the open data…
What about Environmental Alerts???
Embed open data output as a requirement of all new systems
Incorporate open data into processes/publishing
Require quality data as part of any new contracts for services – that can be released as open data
Open by Default, Open by Design
