Principles

The charter mandates[4] that data released by governments comply with these principles:

  • Open by Default
  • Timely and Comprehensive
  • Accessible and Usable
  • Comparable and Interoperable
  • For Improved Governance and Citizen Engagement
  • For Inclusive Development and Innovation

Implementation

New Zealand

New Zealand joined the Open Data Charter in 2017. The charter supports and builds on the New Zealand Declaration on Open and Transparent Government Archived 21 December 2018 at the Wayback Machine and the Data and Information Management Principles . The goals of New Zealand are to enforce its commitment to open data, ensure it remains internationally aligned, and provide government agencies with a more modern and clear articulation of principles and supporting actions for accelerating the release of open government data.[5]
