This Directive outlines requirements for ministries and provincial agencies on listing all data inventories, publishing open data, and preparing information systems to support ongoing open data requirements.
The open data initiative supports government efficiency, effectiveness and innovation. Faster and easier access to government data through a one-window data portal facilitates evidence-based policy, informs service delivery and promotes greater transparency and accountability.
The open data initiative also supports public engagement and participation by allowing Ontarians to develop their own analysis, insights, and digital products.
To support this implementation of the directive, an Open Data Guidebook is available as a tool and resource to Ontario ministries and provincial agencies.
The Open Data Directive is a Management Board of Cabinet Directive, issued under the Management Board of Cabinet Act.
