No data will be truly anonymous: Current open data practice assumes that technology will be not be able to relink it to its source. This is not the case and so, by 2025, we will see different levels of de-identification.

Technology is by its very nature global and data does not respect national boundaries. Can na0on states continue to set the rules or will tension in global interoperability drive us to design for global standards but with localised use?

If we get it right, we will be more comfortable to metaphorically ‘live in a glass house’, allowing our personal information to be widely accessible in return for the understanding that this enables a richer, more ‘attuned’ life as a result.

Many question whether privacy will enable the democratic process: Is there privacy without democracy? Citizen data is increasingly publicly used and shared by governments as an instrument of social change.

By 2025, a new place for data emerges – between public and private. This is driven by “data philanthropy” and the dona0on of data for social purposes such as healthcare and improving our ability to respond to disasters.

Economically connected data can play a significant role that will benefit not only private commerce but also national economies and their citizens. Analysis can provide the public sector with a new world of performance potential.
