Public Sector Location Data Provider

Archived

The relevant Blueprint recommendations for a Public Sector Location Data Provider that should be considered in undertaking typical tasks are grouped as follows:

Policy and strategy alignment
Digital government integration
Standardisation and reuse
Return on investment
Governance, partnerships and capabilities

Policy and strategy alignment

Recomm-endations	Plan for INSPIRE	Identify spatial data sets	Create and maintain reusable spatial data sets	Provide discovery, view and trans-formation services	Monitor and report on INSPIRE	Support use of spatial datasets
1. Connect location information and digital government strategies in all legal and policy instruments
2. Make location information policy integral to, and aligned with, wider data policy at all levels of government
3. Ensure all measures are in place, consistent with legal requirements, to protect personal privacy when processing location data
4. Make effective use of location-based analysis and location intelligence for evidence-based policy making
5. Use a standards based approach in the procurement of location data and related services in line with broader ICT standards based procurement

Digital government integration

Recomm-endations	Plan for INSPIRE	Identify spatial data sets	Create and maintain reusable spatial data sets	Provide discovery, view and trans-formation services	Monitor and report on INSPIRE	Support use of spatial datasets
6. Identify where digital public services can be simplified or transformed using location information and location intelligence, and implement improvement actions that create value for users
7. Use spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) in digital public services and data ecosystems across sectors, levels of government and borders, integrated with broader public data infrastructures and external data sources
8. Adopt an open and collaborative methodology to design and improve digital public services that are location-enabled
9. Adopt an integrated location-based approach in the collection and analysis of statistics on different topics and at different levels of government

Standardisation and reuse

Recomm-endations	Plan for INSPIRE	Identify spatial data sets	Create and maintain reusable spatial data sets	Provide discovery, view and trans-formation services	Monitor and report on INSPIRE	Support use of spatial datasets
10. Adopt a common architecture to develop digital government solutions, facilitating the integration of geospatial requirements
11. Reuse existing authentic data, data services and relevant technical solutions where possible
12. Apply relevant standards to develop a comprehensive approach for spatial data modelling, sharing, and exchange to facilitate integration in digital public services
13. Manage location data quality by linking it to policy and organisational objectives, assigning accountability to business and operational users and defining what “Fit for Purpose” means and implies.

Return on investment

Recomm-endations	Plan for INSPIRE	Identify spatial data sets	Create and maintain reusable spatial data sets	Provide discovery, view and trans-formation services	Monitor and report on INSPIRE	Support use of spatial datasets
14. Apply a systematic approach to assessing and monitoring the benefits and performance of location-based services
15. Communicate the benefits of integrating and using location information in digital public services
16. Facilitate the use of public administrations’ location data by non-governmental actors to stimulate innovation in products and services and enable job creation and growth

Governance, partnerships and capabilities

Recomm-endations	Plan for INSPIRE	Identify spatial data sets	Create and maintain reusable spatial data sets	Provide discovery, view and trans-formation services	Monitor and report on INSPIRE	Support use of spatial datasets
17. Introduce an integrated governance of location information processes at all levels of government, bringing together different governmental and non-governmental actors around a common goal
18. Partner effectively to ensure the successful development and exploitation of location data infrastructures
19. Invest in communications and skills programmes to ensure sufficient awareness and capabilities to drive through improvements in the use of location information in digital public services and support growth opportunities
