3.3: Information Management Framework

An Information Management Framework will be developed with standards and measures for sharing data.

Other Information:

If freely available, public sector information (PSI) can drive innovation and new services to citizens and business. Open access to PSI provides opportunities for the Victorian Government to increase its engagement with the community and to realise a range of social and economic benefits. In responding to the Parliamentary Inquiry into Improving Access to Victorian Public Sector Information and Data, the Victorian Government has committed to improving access to PSI. The Victorian Government supports the release of PSI for re-use with the expectation it will lead to increased commercial activity, provide primary data to researchers in a wide range of disciplines, and increase the transparency of government in Victoria. As well as a data directory such as data.vic.gov.au, making data publicly available also requires an Information Management Framework. The Victorian Government has committed to the development of a comprehensive Information Management Framework for sharing public sector information. The development of this framework is being oversighted jointly by Departments of Premier and Cabinet, Treasury and Finance and Innovation, Industry and Regional Development. While the Information Management Framework will be essential to improving the quality and impact of information access, the framework will be developed in parallel to making as much public data open and accessible as quickly as possible.
