PSI Literature Review
The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Law Faculty have published version 1 of a Literature Review devoted to the re-use of public sector information. The project to expand the Literature Review is on going. The Introduction page 8 states:
“The full economic, cultural and environmental value of information produced or funded by the public sector can be realised through enabling greater access to and reuse of the information. To do this effectively it is necessary to describe and establish a policy framework that supports greater access and reuse among a distributed, online network of information suppliers and users.
The objective of the literature review was to identify materials published in Australia and elsewhere dealing with policies, principles and practices relating to access to and reuse of public sector information. Historically, much of the discussion about access to public sector information has focused on spatial information collected and managed by governments on account of its acknowledged social and economic value. However, technological developments and changes in research methodologies during the last decade have resulted in greater attention being focused on other kinds of information and data which is created or funded by the public sector, including academic publications and the research project outcomes. Consequently, the literature review covers materials relating to public sector information generally (including data and publications produced with public funding), as well as materials that address issues specifically in relation to spatial information.”
