[Duraspace] ​The City of Cape Town - Open Data Draft Policy

[Hilton Gibson]

​​
The City of Cape Town is in the process of finalising its Open Data Draft
Policy.

The policy will assist the City to establish and incrementally populate a
single online open data
portal for information and data generated by the organisation that is free
and accessible to members of the public.

The City generates a significant amount of data that could be useful to
citizens. However this information is often located in archives and other
sites which are not easily accessible to the public. The City would like to
create a portal that is user friendly and accessible; with information that
is machine-readable to enable public  access and use this data.

Notice is hereby given in terms of Section 17 of the Local Government
Municipal Systems Act
that Council is hereby affording the public, interested parties or groups
opportunity for a period
of 30 days to submit comments, recommendations or input to the municipality.
