Public sector organisations are increasingly encouraged to share data with other state institution or private businesses and to make datasets available to the public. The drive to data sharing is supposed to improve service delivery and help boost an innovative digital economy. But what does this mean in practice for public servants and citizens? Three researchers will discuss their research into this topic:
- What does "open" actually mean across different government agencies?
- How is open data being shared across platforms like Wikidata?
- How does data sharing work between different instititions in fields like health?
