Role of the group
The smart data working group’s aim was to:
- support the development and delivery of smart data infrastructure and standards for the benefit of consumers, particularly vulnerable consumers
- where appropriate, encourage commonality or consistency of approach across smart data initiatives to enable interoperability and cross-sector innovations
- improve efficiency by reducing duplication across smart data initiatives and re-using assets or resources from prior smart-data initiatives
The working group worked to develop practical recommendations for how smart data initiatives could be taken forward at pace, and made consistent where feasible to avoid duplication.
