We connect, equip and inspire people around the world to innovate with data.

Data sits on a spectrum

First draft

Data is infrastructure
![Page 8: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Roads help us navigate to a location.
Data helps us make a decision.

Open data and FOI laws.
![Page 10: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Open data and FOI laws:
complementary and necessary.
![Page 11: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Open data and FOI provide a
natural balance between the
proactive and reactive release
of information.
![Page 12: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FOI enables citizens to request
information in relation to
particular areas of current
public interest, and improve
their sense of civic
engagement and participation.
![Page 13: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FOI allows civil society and
business to request information
to investigate opportunities for
innovation or to support their
current work.
![Page 14: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FOI promotes the UK’s position
as an open and transparent
place to do business.
![Page 15: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FOI provides a mechanism for
access to information held by
government where the
community interested in that
information is too small to
justify its continuing release
and maintenance as open
data.
![Page 16: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FOI can help public sector
bodies identify information and
data that may have potential
value if published openly.
![Page 17: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A sustainable data economy
needs both open data and FOI.
![Page 18: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Open data can help inform the
FOI Commission’s work.
![Page 19: ODI Presentation at FOI2015 Holyrood event](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f00bce1a28ab9f6a8b4605/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Open data is an important
mechanism for transparency
and data innovation, but open
data will never make FOI laws
redundant.
