Why Open Data?
“Data is a game-changer for government. Open data provides the intelligence for insight, invention and exploration that translate into better products and services that improve everyday life and encourage business growth.”
The Hon. Victor Dominello, MP, Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, launching the 2016 Open Data Policy
Licensing and AusGOAL
As part of the Open Data Policy, NSW is implementing open access licencing by utilising the AusGOAL Framework. AusGOAL provides a way by which information providers can make appropriate licencing decisions that enable the re-use of data and information in new and innovative ways by the community.
