Obstacles to re-use• knowing what is available• lack of established procedures• lack of transparency of terms• lack of charging information• exclusive licensing• delays• inconsistency• unfairness
![Page 4: Supporting the Re-use of PSI in the UK John Williams Standards Manager .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b4f7f8b9ab0599a6f06/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How are we helping to tackle some of these obstacles?
• Information Asset Registers • PSI Click-Use Licence• Information Fair Trader Scheme• Dealing with complaints• Initiatives to increase re-usability

Information Asset Registers
• Based on the requirement to provide a searchable list of main documents available for re-use
• Should be complementary to publication schemes required by FOI legislation
![Page 6: Supporting the Re-use of PSI in the UK John Williams Standards Manager .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b4f7f8b9ab0599a6f06/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Focus on unpublished information
• Will often feature datasets and databases
• Working towards a “one list” approach

Benefits of using the PSI Click-Use LicenceFor the public sector:• no need to develop own licence• tried and trusted licence model• no ongoing administration• add new items whenever they become available• no cost
For the re-user:• one stop shop• tried and trusted licence model• no need to negotiate individual licence with many public sector organisations• fast

PSI Click-Use processPublic Sector organisations need to:
• identify the copyright documents or categories of documents that can be used
• sign a simple mandate form
• publish a list of the documents on their website with a link to the OPSI website

Information Fair Trader SchemeFive principles:
• openness – maximising the available information • transparency – simple and clear policies and procedures• fairness – all are treated equally• compliance – internal procedures and review processes• challenge – complaints policy
![Page 11: Supporting the Re-use of PSI in the UK John Williams Standards Manager .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b4f7f8b9ab0599a6f06/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Two routes:

IFTS – the benefits• objective and expert assessment
