Stewardship involves making public information accessible in formats that are useful to citizens.
Local Authorities should make information that was traditionally closed, or difficult to access, available to citizens. They should do this digitally where possible and in formats that make the use of the data easy. If this data is made available, then people with the right skills and interests at the Authority, and in the community, will use this information to create new views, new applications and new meanings. This will serve to increase everyone’s awareness of their social and civic reality.
