Uppföljning Open Data Charter 2024

Bakgrund

International Open Data Charter (IODC) är en internationell organisation för samarbete mellan regeringar och organisationer med mål att bädda in öppenhet i kultur och praktisk tillämpning i den datadrivna förvaltningen utifrån ett gemensamt internationellt ramverk med sex principer för tillgängliggörande av data:

För att bedöma mognadsnivå och för att omvandla principerna till strategiska och konkreta aktiviteter har IODC tagit fram en aktivitetslista som är uppdelad i ett antal faserÖppnas i ny flik. Det är med IDOCs aktivitetslista som grund som DIGG Myndigheten för digital förvaltning följer upp hur arbetet med att implementera ODC:s principer fortskrider i Sverige. 

Sammanfattning: Uppföljning av Open Data Charter 2024 

Sedan den ursprungliga uppföljningen 2022 har flera betydande insatser genomförts som tagit Sverige framåt i linje med IODC:s principer. För att främja delning och vidareutnyttande av data har Sveriges dataportal fortsatt att utvecklas som en central plattform för datadelning och innovation. Centrala förteckningar över datamängder och API:er, begrepp och specifikationer har kompletterats med informationssidor, stöd och verktyg, goda exempel och nya vägledningar om till exempel upphandling av data.

Strategiska insatser för öka lärande och spridning har genomförts bland annat genom etableringen av Dataambassadörsprogrammet som är en utbildningssatsning som riktar sig till offentliga aktörer och syftar till att skapa ett enklare sätt att lära sig om grunderna i öppen datadelning och även få ett stöd i att kunna genomföra utbildningar i sin egen organisation. För att sänka trösklarna för datadelning har Digg tagit fram och erbjuder en delad metadatakatalog till mindre aktörer och för att få aktörer att komma igång med sin datadelning.

För att skapa incitament för ökad datakvalitet har funktionalitet för att bedöma metadatakvaliteten för kataloger på Sveriges dataportal tagits fram som utgår den metodÖppnas i ny flik som den europeiska dataportalen har tagit fram, på engelska benämnd "The Metadata Quality Assessment" (MQA). 

Det kvarstår fortfarande utmaningar såsom behovet av en mer systematisk intressentdialog och vidareutveckling av feedbackmekanismer för att övervaka användningen och värdet av publicerade datamängder. Uppföljning och mätning av resultat är också områden som behöver stärkas, särskilt med fokus på att utveckla kvantitativa indikatorer för att utvärdera framgången med öppna data-initiativ.

Uppföljning av fas "Exploring"

1. Identify the standard licence to be used for releasing government data. Ideally new licences should be compatible with an existing open data licence, such as those from Creative Commons.

2. Define a simple process that will help guide the release of your first datasets.

3. Deploy an open data portal or other standard way for your organisation to publish data

4. dentify the appropriate open standards that will be used for releasing your initial datasets

5. Engage with the leaders across your organisation who will be essential to early progress

6. Engage with external organisations that may be able to provide you with support, e.g. through mentoring, training, or technical expertise

7. Engage with the communities of reusers who could benefit from your initial data releases

8. Create and publicise channels of communication to allow data requests from outside your organisations

9. Create and publish guidance around how to document your datasets, covering the social, technical and legal aspects of reuse. Ensure published datasets conform to this guidance

10. Ensure that there are clear contact points which early data reusers can use to obtain help and ask questions about data

11. Define a clear set of guidelines that describe how users can attribute use of your data, where attribution is required

12. Publish your initial open data strategy

13. On the basis of a data audit, create a register of your key data assets, use this to track decisions on whether datasets can be released, have been released, etc

14. Set up regular liaison with your key stakeholders to help monitor progress, accept feedback and share knowledge

15. Tailor individual contracts and procurement activities to address data licensing, and use open data to help differentiate between suppliers

16. Carry out some monitoring and reporting of the value (uses and benefits) of some datasets for specific data use communities eg by surveys, interview, discussion etc

2024 års uppföljning av fas Implementing

Nedan presenteras en mer detaljerad bedömning av IODC rekommenderade aktiviteter som genomförts, är pågående eller inte påbörjats inom fasen "Implementing" eller på svenska den implementeringsfasen.

Ursprunglig uppföljning av Open Data Charter 

Sverige har tagit steg framåt i linje med IODC:s principer, särskilt genom att etablera samverkans initiativ såsom Network Open Source and Data (NOSAD), Nationell dataverkstad för regional och kommunal datadelning, , och vägledningningar kring tillgängliggörande och vidareutnyttjande av data. 

Genomförandet av vägledning för tillgängliggörande av information och rekommendationer kring öppna licenser visar på framsteg, men det kvarstår utmaningar såsom behovet av en mer systematisk intressentdialog och vidareutveckling av feedbackmekanismer för att övervaka användningen och värdet av publicerade datamängder. 

Uppföljning och mätning av resultat är också områden som behöver stärkas, särskilt med fokus på att utveckla kvantitativa indikatorer för att utvärdera framgången med öppna data-initiativ. Strategiska aktiviteter för öka lärande och spridning samt stärkande av medborgarengagemang är prioriterade för framtiden. Detta arbete behöver också inkludera utveckling av fallstudier och riktlinjer för att dokumentera och främja framgångsrika användningsfall, något som ytterligare kan stimulera återanvändning och innovation av data i Sverige.
