The Open Data Charter

The Open Data Charter is an international agreement that promotes the availability and accessibility of government data. It encourages governments to share data openly, which means making it easy for anyone to access, understand, and use information generated by public institutions. The goal is to enhance transparency, encourage innovation, and improve decision-making by enabling citizens, businesses, and researchers to utilize data effectively. By following the Charter's principles, governments aim to empower communities and foster trust through openness and accountability.
