Rolf NordqvistChairman

Re-use of public information

• eParticipation (open data for citizens)

• eGovernment ( public data used by authorities in smart public services)

• Non-commercial re-use (universities, research institutes …………… )

• Commercial re-use

The Information Market

• The same as other markets where companies sell products and services

• Owners want return on their investments

• For that you need a persistent profit

• Marketing and sales are very important

To day

• Difficult to get an overview of available public information

• PSI holders claim intellectual property rights Conditions restricts use of information.

• Difficult to understand the pricing process

• Re-dress mechanisms are timeconsuming

The market needs

• Access to re-usable raw data

• No competition with PSI Holders

• Less intellectual property rights connected to public data (=less restrictions for re-use)

• Fair pricing , preferable marginal cost pricing

Five stars PSI Countries • A special national regulation for PSI

re-use• A clear defintion of the public task• A regulatory authority for

supervision of the market• Resourses to support re-use of PSI• A simple, clear process for re-dress

Five star PSI Holder

• Information about assets on web page• A person/unit responsible for contact• Solutions for raw-data delivery• Resources to support the re-users• Pricing based upon marginal cost

Summary

• We need to create a better climate between PSI Holders and re-users

• And strive for a WIN-WIN situation

• Companies need to understand how an authority works and the PSI holders need to understand how the market works

But it will take some time……….
