Literature Review
Professor Anne Fitzgerald, with the assistance of the auPSI research team and others, is conducting a literature review of material relating to the governance and provision of access to public sector information (PSI).
The objective of the literature review is to identify materials published in Australia and elsewhere dealing with policies, principles and practices relating to access to and reuse of public sector information. The literature review covers materials relating to public sector information generally and publicly funded research data and publications, as well as materials dealing specifically with spatial information.
The Australian chapter (chapter 1, available via QUT ePrints) describes Australian policy developments relating to PSI.
