Outline of the best practice
As a way of increasing the understanding of the value of open data and sensitivity for data sharing both within and outside of the public sector, traffic light system can be used. The catagories are as follows. Green data Data which obviously has no sensitivity issues can automatically be categorised as green open data. Yellow data
Red data Highly sensitive can at most be shared with the person or organisation the data concerns or under highly restrictive conditions. The traffic light system contributes to shifting the focus to sharing as the rule, rather than the exception. 'Open data' is as a natural consequence of the real goal that is to share data.
Management summary
Challenge
Part of the data that can still be shared within the public sector, can not be opened up for all (e.g. transactions related to physical persons (salaries, expenses related to salaries, etc.), transactions to accounts of health insurance companies containing personal data).
