Justification of data behind login with respect to government open data policy

Tracy Clark made this Official Information request to National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited

The request was successful.

From: Tracy Clark

Dear National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Limited,

Given the NZ Government has now adopted a clear open data policy shown here:https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-...
how are you able to justify keeping your collected data behind a login wall that requires a separate licence agreement which does not adhere to the open data policy (https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz/doc/terms.html)

Yours faithfully,

Tracy Clark

Hi Tracy

 

Thank you for your enquiry which has been passed to me for a response.

 

NIWA’s Data Management and Access Policy is published as Appendix 4 of our
Statement of Corporate Intent (https://www.niwa.co.nz/about/sci). This
policy, and its application to cliflo to which you refer, meets the
provisions of the Adoption of the International Open Data Charter cabinet
paper

(http://www.stats.govt.nz/about_us/what-w...)
as they apply to Crown Research Institutes (see clause 37 of that cabinet
paper).

 

Yours faithfully

Dr Jochen Schmidt

Chief Scientist, Environmental Information, NIWA
