Re-use of public sector information stimulates the development of innovative new information products and services in the UK and across Europe, thus boosting the information industry.
The Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 provide a framework for this. The Regulations harmonise and relax the conditions of re-use for public sector information, and bring the cultural sector into scope. The 2015 Regulations continue to improve transparency, fairness and consistency among public sector bodies and re-use of their information.
See our re-use resources for public sector bodies, cultural sector bodies, and re-users.
Re-use means using public sector information for a purpose different from the one for which it was originally produced, held or disseminated.
