Open Data
To achieve our vision, Inspiring possibilities through knowledge, stories and creativity, State Library champions open access to information and ideas as a key enabler for a strong, well-informed and innovative society. In October 2012, the Queensland Government announced an “open data revolution” aiming to release as much public sector information as possible to encourage the development of innovative services and solutions for Queenslanders.
Open Data Action Plan
Open data is a key component in State Library's Digital Technology Strategy and identifies our commitment to open data through activities to build digital collections for use and re-use, and position State Library as a lead in open data. We aim to:
- Stimulate economic activity and innovation by making government data available for 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.
State Library uses the Open Data Maturity Model from the Open Data Institute to review the activities of our open data program. The Open Data Maturity Model is a self-assessment tool developed by the Open Data Institute (ODI) in the UK. State Library identifies areas for improvement and sets specific actions to meet our open data goals for the year in our Open Data Action Plan.
