Some open data publishing principles – ONS Digital, Technology and Methodology

"The principles provide an approach for thinking about open data publishing that focuses on the outcomes: what it is that we want to enable users to do?

Importantly, the principles are aligned with the Data on the Web Best Practices, the recommendations in the Open Data Institute’s Open Data Certificates, and the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Obviously, implementing all this will also draw on the open principles enshrined in the GDS service manual. For example, building on open standards."
