Open Data Policies

Open Data Policies are guidelines set by governments or organizations that promote making public data freely accessible and reusable by anyone. These policies encourage sharing information—such as government records, research findings, or environmental data—in formats that are easy to find, use, and analyze. The goal is to improve transparency, foster innovation, and enable citizens, developers, and businesses to create new solutions and make informed decisions, all while ensuring data is available responsibly and ethically.
