Open data is data that anyone can access, use or share. We aim to publish open data with a purpose benefiting organisations who can incorporate the data into research and innovation projects for the benefit of the wider community.

Open data principles

Our open data strategy incorporates the following principles and values:
The quantity of datasets will grow over time, selected by relevance and value-add:

  • Our open data will be freely available and of high quality.
  • Our open data will be published using a suitable open licence.
  • Our open data will adhere to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).
  • We will embed risk assessment and data ethics into our use and publication of open data.
