Power of Information Taskforce - Recommendations *º

The POIT was set up to advise and assist the UK government on delivering benefit to the public from new developments in digital media and the use of citizen- and state-generated information. (#14255)

Helping people online where they seek help *º

Britain’s thriving online co-operative and empowement movements are moving into the mainstream. Now is an ideal time for public services to work with these movements adding value to both parties. Emerging good practice in public services should grow to become normal activity. (#14270)

Innovate and co-create with citizens online *º

Leading organisations are using recent internet developments, including those known as ‘Web2.0' to work with people in new ways. These developments make it easier, cheaper and faster to create to collaborate, innovate and create new information services. (#14272)

Open up the policy dialogue online *º

The public services can break out of the traditional challenge/response model of consultation by using the latest online tools. Consultations should be presented on Departmental websites in a format and using tools that allow real participation. (#14275)

Reform geospatial data *º

The importance of geospatial data (digital maps) for public good and economic prosperity was identified by Steinberg and Mayo in 2007. However, for both innovators and the general public, the situation remains disappointingly unchanged. (#14278)

Modernise data publishing and reuse *º

The Taskforce found that recent developments on the web have increased the potential for reusing public information to improve public service outcomes and create new businesses. How information is published and licensed for re-use is central to these benefits being realised. (#14283)

A modern capability *º

The Taskforce recognises that significant resourcing implications will have to be addressed if our proposed changes to the way public services work are to be successful. (#14288)

Reform the role of participation

The issue is not access to information, it's citizen participation in information procurement and distrubution. Citizens, not civil servants, are the only arbiters of this equation, and without direct involvement by citizens these other changes are merely window dressing. (#21771)
