Australian Government's Public Data Policy Statement.
At a minimum Australian Government agencies will made data available:
1. on or linked through
data.gov.au for discoverability and availability;
2. in a machine-readable, spatially-enabled format;
3. with high quality, easy to use and freely available API access;
4. with descriptive metadata;
5. using agreed open standards; 6. kept up to date in an automated way; and
7. under a Creative Commons By Attribution licence unless a clear case is made to the
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for another open licence.
It is a large task and we need to support agencies in achieving these goals.
So how do we support agencies to do this?
