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!
Open by design
Machine-readable!
