N2 - ABSTRACT
Opening up public data is stimulated and guided by open data
policies. In Europe policies at the European, national,
ministerial and local level exist. Although plans of the Dutch
government are in the making, the Netherlands is still lacking a
clear and detailed national open data policy. Furthermore, most
of the existing international directives for open public data
policies are general by nature. Hence, there may be large
differences among open data policies. Up to now there is limited
systematic and structured research conducted on differences of
open data policies. In this policy paper, a comparison is made of
the open data policies of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and
Kingdom Relations and the Dutch Ministry of Education,
Culture and Science. Interviews and a review of reports showed
that there are differences between the open data policies of the
two Dutch ministries with regard to guidelines for opening up
data, the type and amount of data that were actually opened up
and the way this was done. Gaining more insight into the
differences of open data policies may be useful to help
formulating open data policies.
