It is recommended that governments and IGOs should:
* Re-evaluate the relationship between access to information and reuse
of public
sector information laws to ensure that all information held by public
bodies,
including databases, falls within the scope of the right to information;
* Re-evaluate pricing and licensing frameworks to ensure that, by
default, government
information, including raw data sets, should be available for anyone to
use for any
purpose (including added-value commercial purposes) without charge;
* Ensure that the public is able to use information published
proactively or released
under access to information laws free of charge.
Open government data and access to information activists should:
* Engage in the discussion and work together around the reform of the
PSI Directive
in Europe, a process which offers an opportunity to set global standards
on reuse of
public sector information.
