Collaboration for Open Data

Data is one of society’s most strategic resources, but also one of its most underutilised assets. There is great potential for the public sector in the increased use of data – for instance, in terms of streamlining operations, increasing transparency, developing automation, and creating a better basis for decision-making.

The open innovation project “Collaboration for Open Data” (Samverkan Öppna Data) aims to increase the use of open and shared data in municipalities across Skåne. Throughout the project, municipalities and regional authorities can receive support in fulfilling current laws and directives in the open data area. The long-term goals are:

• Increased transparency and participation
  Continuing to strengthen citizen trust and confidence in the public sector’s activities.
• Organisation of information volumes and systems
  Ensuring that open data is a natural part of the public sector’s information processing and digital development, and that it complies with current and future legislation in this area.
• Reduced burden on the organisation
  Supporting the public sector to maintain efficient and robust organisational processes.
• Increased innovation and societal development
  Providing conditions for the public sector and business community to build digital services through the use of various open data sets.
