Open Data & Government Data Programme Update event for external data users8 December 2015

Paul MaltbyDirector of DataGovernment Digital Service@maltbyps

Peter Hatchard
I wouldn't open this quite so broadly. We've got agreement to a limited legislative intervention that's realistic on the timetable we're working to. I would rephrase this to say we're looking at ways to put some of what you've described throughout the presentation onto a firmer footing, perhaps through stronger mandated standards, presumption to publish, etc and we'd welcome your thoughts on this. Talking at this stage about mandating proactive release is difficult in the context of departments that, as you say earlier, don't know and have no way of knowing what data they actually have (this is what I was struggling to articulate on the walk over yesterday evening!).
Page 2: Open Data & Government Data Programme

In the last Parliament our data approach was dominated by open data

GDS

Page 4: Open Data & Government Data Programme

The data user community worked wonders

GDS

Page 5: Open Data & Government Data Programme

But like ODI & others we know we now need to stretch our approach wider and deeper

GDS

Page 6: Open Data & Government Data Programme

That means, where appropriate, shared data, not just open data

GDS

Page 7: Open Data & Government Data Programme

That means quality, not just quantity

GDS

Page 8: Open Data & Government Data Programme

We will continue the deep involvement with external data users to keep pressure on the quality and quantity of open data

GDS

Page 9: Open Data & Government Data Programme

But the big shift is to drive data quality by dog-fooding within government

GDS

Page 10: Open Data & Government Data Programme

A new Government Data Programme aiming to transform how data is used across public services

GDS

Page 11: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Too much government data isDuplicatedIn many different formatsHard to reachHard to maintainHard to put to good use

Page 12: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Our aim = better digital services

Page 13: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Our aim = good policy and operational decisions

Page 14: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Our aim = economic benefits

Page 15: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Our aim = public trust & security

Page 16: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

The Government Data Programme has 3 workstreams

Page 17: Open Data & Government Data Programme

1.Better use of data

GDS

Page 18: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Driving internal use of new data with:

Data science and open data projects on top policy challengesData capability and literacy (with ONS)

GDS

Page 19: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Maintaining UK’s international leadership on open data and transparency

GDS

Page 20: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Improving decision making and boosting demand for data quality for benefit of all

GDS

Data science opportunities: Unstructured data and visualisations

GDS

Page 22: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Data Science & the Civil Service 22

Data science opportunities: Clustering and prediction

GDS

Page 23: Open Data & Government Data Programme
Page 24: Open Data & Government Data Programme

There is some unfinished business on open data

GDS

Page 25: Open Data & Government Data Programme

We especially want help from external users with ODI to keep driving the open data agenda

GDS

Page 26: Open Data & Government Data Programme
Page 27: Open Data & Government Data Programme

ONS creating mainstream data science capability among analysts in government

GDS

Page 28: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS will be supporting this, including through data literacy for non-data specialists

GDS

Page 29: Open Data & Government Data Programme

2. Modernising data infrastructure

GDS

Page 30: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Creating a security-conscious data layer in government consisting of

Data access toolsAPIsRegisters

GDS

Page 31: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Resulting in a National Information Infrastructure of open and shared data to fuel business and government innovation

GDS

Page 32: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Registers: lists of facts where the government is the canonical source of truth

API standards: so without friction appropriate data can be queried across government

Discovery tools: so civil servants can find out if data exists & if they can access it

Page 33: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

companies, charities, trade unions, courts, schools, universities, hospitals, zoos, circuses, inspections, licences, certificates, births, marriages, deaths, electoral roll, insolvencies, bankruptcies, passports, animal passports, drivers, vehicles, land parcels, land ownership, land use, legal boundaries, awards, tax rates, benefits, livestock movements, flood risk, river levels, companies, fish caught, patents, trademarks, designs, non-native invasive plants, bank holidays, food standards, clock changes …

Registers are more than just a list

GDS

Persistent & canonicalMinimum viable datasetA service, not a listIntegrity of historyOpen / shared / private

Page 37: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Page 38: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Registers:Are owned by a departmentProvided as a service for others inside and outside governmentAccording to common design patterns & software

Page 39: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Starting with commonly referenced registers such as

CountriesCompanies (limited companies, charities, sole traders)Local authoritiesPremisesAddresses

Page 40: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

No technology big bang required

Page 41: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Creating an API infrastructure across government and, where appropriate, to users outside

GDS

Page 42: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Reducing the need for bulk data sharing in government

GDS

Page 43: Open Data & Government Data Programme

So no more downloading and emailing data around Whitehall

GDS

Page 44: Open Data & Government Data Programme

And no more disks in the post

GDS

Page 45: Open Data & Government Data Programme

(but we know how important bulk availability of data is for some external users via data.gov.uk)

GDS

Page 46: Open Data & Government Data Programme

We’re also starting to think about better data discovery tools - both inside and outside government

GDS

Page 47: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

Page 48: Open Data & Government Data Programme

There are currently no tools for civil servants to know whether non-open data exists across government

GDS

Page 49: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Never mind knowing whether they can or should access it

GDS

Page 50: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Or having tools available to help them query the data or provide basic manipulation, eg plot on a map

GDS

Page 51: Open Data & Government Data Programme

A discovery process on tooling will start in the new year - we will be doing user research with users inside and outside government

GDS

Page 52: Open Data & Government Data Programme

3. Data policy and governance

GDS

Page 53: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Supporting the programme through cross-dept governance:

Agree the technical approach and common policies Data access legislation?International engagement and policies

GDS

Page 54: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Creating shared vision & ambition and collective rules of the road

GDS

Page 55: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

A new Ministerial Group on Digital Transformation - including data

Page 56: Open Data & Government Data Programme

An external Steering Group chaired by National Statistician John Pullinger

GDS

Page 57: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Open Data Institute keeping our feet to the fire and connected with external data users

GDS

See more on the ODI process

Page 58: Open Data & Government Data Programme

GDS

At the heart of the programme senior Data Leaders drawn from across government

Page 59: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Agreeing:Common policies (eg external sharing) Data standardsResponsibility for registersOpportunities for collaboration

And leading the new data vision across Whitehall

GDS

Page 60: Open Data & Government Data Programme

Possible new data access legislation?

Start with clear user need and public benefit

Use data and tools which have the minimum intrusion necessary

Create robust data science models

Be alert to public perceptions

Be as open as possible

Data science ethical framework

6 Keep data secure

GDS

Page 62: Open Data & Government Data Programme

And tackling the big questions

Citizen consent and control of data When and how data should/shouldn’t be shared outside government
