- Open data is defined as information which anyone can use for any purpose, without restrictions
- Government data or Public Sector Information (PSI) is any data and information produced or commissioned by Public Sector Bodies (PSBs).

Some examples of data include national statistics, budgetary information, parliamentary records, geographical data, laws, and data about education and transport.
