This is important, so I am reposting it. From Professor Okumura of the University of Tokyo.
Here are the “Three Requirements for Open Data” that I have organized. Further details are scheduled to appear in the March issue of the legal journal Jurist. I will let you know again when it goes on sale.
- Making Open Data the Default
Along with deepening democracy, and from the perspectives of pursuing government efficiency and effectiveness and encouraging private-sector innovation, make the disclosure and reuse of government-held data the default. - Ensuring Legal Openness
To guarantee the above, coordinate particularly with copyright law through measures such as placing data in the public domain or applying open licenses that provide a legal foundation. - Ensuring Technical Openness
At the same time, provide the necessary technical foundation for the data.
Ensure machine readability and open formats, and publish data in bulk.
