Open Data User Group
The Open Data User Group (ODUG) operated between 2012 and 2015. It gathered views of open data users/re-users to influence data releases for free through government’s Public Sector Transparency Board.
Role of the group
The aim of the group was to:
- continue to encourage open data delivery across government and the wider public sector, driven by the demand-led data request mechanism on data.gov.uk
- continue to provide advice on the further development of the National Information Infrastructure (NII), working closely with the Cabinet Office Transparency Team
- follow-up and report on the progress of projects funded through the Release of Data Fund (RoDF); also make recommendations for any remaining or new funding which is available
- build on ODUG’s previous work around local government open data
