Smart data working group
The purpose of the smart data working group is to support the development of systems and standards that facilitate smart data innovations. The group aims to spur smart data initiatives on, reduce duplication, and maximise the potential of these schemes across sectors. This group will support the ultimate objectives of new, innovative, services for consumers and SMEs which save them time, money and effort, and increased competition in the sectors involved.
Role of the group
The smart data working group aims 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 will develop practical recommendations for how smart data initiatives can be taken forward at pace, and made consistent where feasible to avoid duplication.
