A dataset is a way to put data together so that it can be looked at in groups to see what the information says.

Principles should be made to help the government choose what new data to add to the data asset. Principles are a set of rules that say how things should be done.

We agree.

We will make a set of rules. We will call these rules principles. The principles will be about what should be checked before new datasets are added to the data asset.

A principles book. A person with their arms out.

These principles will be about:

  • if adding the dataset is right for people with disability
  • how the new data will help the data asset
  • if there are limits on using the data.
