  3. Why PSI is important... • European Union the public sector accounts it accounts for 42% to 59% of GDP • 25% of B2B information is PSI derived • Can be high value: • data • authoritative • uncontested (registrations etc) • becoming more free ly available • Now the focus of a concerted drive to make more accessible EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  4. Cross party • “our plans to open up government data and spending information will not only help us to cut wasteful spending, it will also create an estimated £6 billion in additional value for the UK.” • - Manifesto April 2010 • “Information is the key. An informed citizen is a powerful citizen.” • - 7 December 2009 EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  5. Queen’s speech...”Right to Data Act” “The Right to Data Act will give members of the public a legally enforceable ‘Right to Data’, so that the public has the right to appeal if public bodies refuse requests for data collected by government. This radical policy will help transform the culture of the public sector from one that presumes secrecy to one that presumes datasets should be open and shared with the public on an ongoing basis. By releasing data that can be used by businesses and social enterprises, the Right to Data Act will provide a multi-billion pound boost to the UK economy.” EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  13. Years of reports.... • OFT report and Cambridge report estimated value of UK PLC of less restrictive licencing of PSI = £1 billion p.a. (i.e. Double the revenues of the Trading Funds) • Recommended simpler licencing, stronger regulation and transparency between public task and commercial operations of Government bodies • Plainspeak: open up the data, do away with restrictive licencing and you’ll get more in tax revenues than in Trading Funds profit Commercial Use of Public Sector Information (CUPI), 2006 Models of Public Sector Information Provision via Trading Funds, 2008 EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  34. Obstacles remain...but opportunities too • Large scale OS data still charged for • Future of PAF – postcode address file • Data Gov UK is just early (and tiny) sampling – a declaration of intent • Inertia/other preoccupations in Government departments • Difficulties for private sector in dealing with public sector • During time it will take, opportunities for early movers EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  35. Credit rating & risk management • Companies House • Electoral Roll • County Court Decisions • Postcode address file • postcode + DVLA • plus any other searchable due diligence data PSI Publishing Recipes 1 EPublishing Innovation Forum 2010

  38. Bright ideas...? • Environment Agency pollutions data – plus geo-coding plus company hierarchy : ranking companies as part of CSR • DVLR where release of full (anonymised) geo-coded registration data would aid both automotive and general consumer profiling • HM Courts Services – where there is rafts of unreleased data round bankruptcies and winding up orders etc which would enrich company analyses • Others...?
