Open Data Case Studies

These 2012/2013 case studies show how public data has been re-used innovatively:

Land Information New Zealand has also released case studies describing re-use of the LINZ Data Service. Read how LINZ data is used by the new asset protection service, how open data supports the growth of carbon forestry, about Wellington's interactive map viewer, about intelligent landscape planning, how Solid Energy relies on LINZ weekly property updates for business planning, and how Australian off-road adventurers find their way with LINZ.

Also read case studies about the value of assigning Creative Commons licensing to digital content and data.

In June 2011 a set of Open Government Data Mini-Case-Studies was prepared by Open New Zealand to support the Declaration on Open and Transparent Government and accompanying Cabinet paper. These case studies have been approved for distribution by the relevant agencies. For more open data case studies see opendatastories.org.
