They increase transparency and value to citizens, reduce inefficiencies and barriers to information, enable data-driven applications that improve public service delivery, and provide public data that can stimulate innovative business opportunities. As the gatekeepers of official statistics, National Statistics Offices (NSOs) produce many datasets that could typically comprise the foundation of an Open Data program.

In short, they are extremely well placed to make a valuable contribution to Open Data initiatives.

The goal of this working paper is to better understand the opportunities and challenges that Open Data presents to NSOs and to identify what steps and solutions are needed to enable NSOs to play a valuable role in national or sub-national Open Data initiatives. 2014-09-08T21:31:34Z 2014-09-08T21:31:34Z 2014-07-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/07/19791395/open-data-challenges-opportunities-national-statistical-offices-open-data-challenges-opportunities-national-statistical-offices http://hdl.handle.net/10986/19984 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Public Sector Study
