Open Data Strategy and Action Plan
Open data is a key component in our Digital Strategy and State Library's commitment to open data is outlined in our Open Data Strategy. The Strategy includes activities to build digital collections for use and re-use, and activities to position State Library as a lead in the open data movement. We aim to:
- Stimulate economic activity and innovation by making government data available for commercial reuse
- Improve public services by using and sharing government data to support evidence-based policy and program design
- Increase transparency, accountability and public trust in the Queensland Government.
Every year State Library completes the ODI Open Data Pathway maturity assessment to review the activities of our open data program. The Open Data Pathway is a self-assessment tool developed by the Open Data Institute (ODI) in the UK. These results help State Library identify areas of improvement and set specific actions in a plan to meet our open data goals for the year. The Open Data Strategy Action Plan 2020-21 outlines specific open data activities to help achieve our open data goals in 2020-21.
