The Open Data Maturity Model is a way to assess how well an organisation publishes and consumes open data, and identifies actions for improvement.
The model is based around five themes and five progress levels. Each theme represents a broad area of operations within an organisation. Each theme is broken into areas of activity, which can then be used to assess progress.
This project has received funding from the Release of Data Fund. With thanks to the Open Data User Group and Cabinet Office for their support.
The open data maturity model gave us a framework to baseline our open data practice. The online assessment tool helped us capture our scores, and provided us with supporting information, to benchmark ourselves against other organisations. Using this information we developed an action plan to meet our improvement targets. I highly recommend the open data maturity model as a way to improve your open data practice.
New for 2024
We have updated the Open Data Maturity Model, adding more depth to some areas while also adding clarity in others. The model is now available to be used via the ODI Maturity Assessment Tool which you can access below.
In order to use the tool you will need an ODI account.
