Title:: Making Open Data Work in California's State Government
Author:: State of California

Published by:: State of California
Summary:: "In California, a number of state agencies are beginning to implement open data programs. Releasing data isn't as simple as just flipping a switch, however. These organizations need to plan for privacy, data quality governance structures and a host of other factors. The California Health and Human Services Agency and the State Controller's Office have completed large-scale open data projects that have considered these issues. This publication reports on their successes, challenges and outcomes. Using shared lessons from these projects and others, the paper also summarizes current state policy on open data, including procurement policies; highlights various privacy laws and guidelines; and provides sample organizational structures for open data teams."
