OECD Workshop on Access to Public Sector Information and Content

Date: 31st May 2006

Venue: OECD, Paris

Workshop Overvew:

On 31 May 2006, the OECD held a workshop on increasing the access to public sector information (PSI, e.g., geographical and meteorological data, libraries, archives, museums). The public sector is a large producer of content with major potential for digitisation and new commercial and non-commercial applications and value-added services. But wider use of public sector information may require changes in policy approaches and reorganisation of public information. This workshop explored economic and distributional aspects of different PSI access, cost, pricing and distribution models. It took stock of OECD work to explore possible next steps on the basis of: i) available economic analysis and metrics of public sector information, ii) industry examples, and iii) different government approaches.
