Default to Open

At Stimpunks, we default to open.

It’s no secret people are more likely to trust the government and value what the government provides if their local government shares information and involves them in the decisions that affect their lives. And when government organizations do share data, best practices, and code, the government as a whole does better by its citizens. Everyone wins.

Default to open · Code for America

Open by Default, as widely used in the contexts of Open Government and Open Data, is the principle in which government makes its data accessible to the public by default, unless there is a sufficient justification to explain that greater public interest may be at stake, as a result of disclosure. Since the principle empowers the public’s right to know and capacity to oversee government activities, it is closely associated with government transparency, civic engagement, and e-governance in organizing public life. In many cases, the principle is accompanied with the technological commitment to create “metadata standardization for all datasets, publication of a machine-readable data catalogue or inventory of both released and to-be released datasets … (and) use of open licenses.”^[1]

Open by default – Wikipedia

Generally speaking, open by default is just the right thing to do. As the GOV.UK team mantras says, “Make things open: it makes things better.”

Openness is an ethos that organizations — public and private — adopt so they can be more adaptive and responsive to the people they serve.
