About us
Who we are
The Open Data Charter was founded in 2015 as a collaboration between governments and experts who came together and agreed six principles for how to publish information. The shared aspiration was that data should be open by default, timely and interoperable. More than 70 governments and organisations have joined the movement – from the UK, Mexico and Canada to the Web Foundation, Open Knowledge International and the Open Data Institute.
The Charter’s goal is to embed the culture and practice of openness in governments in ways that are resilient to political change and driven by user demand.
At the beginning of 2017 the Open Data Charter created a small, dynamic team of three to support the work of Charter and develop an updated strategy for the network.
