PSI In Action - conference follow-up
On 20 October 2009 we, together with APPSI and the Cabinet Office, supported the second PSI conference, which was organised in conjunction with Civil Service World. Events (and others such as workshops, working groups and forums, and reports like the UK Annual Report on PSI Re-use) are part of our wider agenda to raise awareness of contemporary and key issues. We plan these conferences as a forum where interested parties can discuss the issues and grasp the full context of what are the obstacles and highlight the successes. They are also a measure of just how far we have come in the past year.
The following day, in keeping with the sharing of knowledge and information and best practice, we held a PSI Summit - a policy exchange workshop, to share experience and lessons learnt from both UK and Commonwealth colleagues. International delegates from the conference joined us and colleagues from other government departments to discuss PSI issues. The various topics throughout the day were licensing, digital engagement and the use of metadata (data curation). This day highlighted how combined efforts and sharing knowledge can develop solutions and we will continue to exchange best practice and views on where we go from here and how we resolve the issues.
