Using Creative Commons in the Public Sector: Open Access to Knowledge, Culture and Public Sector Information (PSI)
Chair: Professor Anne Fitzgerald, Queensland University of Technology
Friday 26 November 2010, Parliament House, Canberra
On the back of the growing capacity of networked digital information technologies to process and visualise large amounts of information in a timely, efficient and user‐driven manner, there has been an increasing demand for better access to and re‐use of public sector information.
Launching the Declaration of Open Government on 16 July 2010, then Minister Tanner said that it “lays an important foundation in implementing our Government 2.0 agenda”:
[I]t acknowledges that the internet holds a crucial role in realising a more open and transparent form of government in this country. The Declaration is about making more government information available to the public online, and encouraging reuse of that information in new, valuable and potentially unexpected ways. It is about giving Australians more of a say in forming the policy and delivering the services that have an influence on their lives. It is about enabling government agencies and individual public servants to be more innovative and more responsive to input and feedback, while still maintaining the high ethical and professional standards we expect. 1
The Hon. Senator Kate Lundy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, who has agreed to deliver the opening address, has stated:
Open access to government data can dramatically increase the value created from the data both socially and economically [and] the society as a whole benefits from access to the data. 2
This one day seminar, chaired by Professor Anne Fitzgerald of Queensland University of Technology, will explain, through practical case studies, how government agencies may put Creative Commons licensing and Open Access policy into action. It will facilitate the implementation of current government IP policy within the operational practices of agencies.
