avoiding the compliance trap

Networked life, networked work, networked learning

Costs too much; What’s the business case; Has commercial value; Possible privacy issues; Confidential info; It’s not ours, and we don’t know who owns it; It’s not ours and supplier won’t allow it; The quality isn’t very good; We don’t know where it is; Not our job; It’s in a useless format anyway; I don’t have the authority; People will misuse the data; People will use it wrongly; Only we understand our data; We’ll get sued; Files are just too big; Too little bandwith; It starts with this, but where’s the end? It’s there, but can’t be opened; Data is dated/too old; It’s not in digital format; Is this even legal?; Our Minister says no; We never have done this before, why start now?; I don’t see the use; Nobody will be interested; No time; No resources; Just do FOIA requests; We’ll publish it redacted; It’s not complete; It contains errors; It’s commercially sensitive; Combining this with other data is dangerous; People will come to wrong conclusions; People will get lost and confused; It will trigger endless discussions; We can’t confirm or deny we have that data; We’ll get feedback, and can’t handle that; Our IT supplier says it’s not possible; Our IT supplier will charge too much; Our site will crash; It’s already online! (but in unfindable PDFs); If people download it and use it later it will be outdated; I can’t take responsibility for all the reuse; People will get angry; Our data is in contradiction to the data of the department that is in charge of the topic; Only we truly understand.....statistics/meteo/geo/laws; We’ll disrupt the market; It will only be used to attack us.

making it relevant to your public task

open data as policy instrument

• What do we have?

• How far from ‘open data’?

• Motivating external partners?

• Publishing as standard process?

• Embedding it in contracts/procurement?

• Opportunities for the city government?
