Open Data is data made available without restriction for re-use, with or without attribution, depending upon the host requirements.
Our Data Management guide is intended to support researchers who want to effectively manage their data and help researchers to understand newer requirements from grant funding agencies for managing research data and the research data life-cycle.
In May, 2013 the President signed an Executive Order to make government-held data more accessible to the public and to entrepreneurs and others as fuel for innovation, economic growth, and government efficiency. Under the terms of the Executive Order and a new Open Data Policy all newly generated government data will be required to be made available in open, machine-readable formats, greatly enhancing their accessibility and usefulness, while ensuring privacy and security.
