Think about open data as an output from any process

Consider open data output as part of new systems or process reviews just as you would consider information security and general reporting requirements

When acquiring content from third parties, seek permission to make it available to the public if possible

Incorporate provisions for releasing data from outsourced service providers in contracts

Publishing – don’t just think glossy brochure or flashy website, think machine-readable!
