This PAS gives guidance on establishing a decision-making framework for sharing data and information services in smart cities.
It covers:
  1. a) types of data in smart cities;
  2. b) establishing a data sharing culture;
  3. c) data value chain – roles and responsibilities;
  4. d) purposes for data use;
  5. e) assessing data states;
  6. f) defining access rights for data; and
  7. g) data formats/format of transportation.
This PAS aims to support the sharing of data and information services within cities. For some cities there will also be a need to establish specific data sharing agreements, particularly where data is being shared by multiple organizations at once.
This PAS supports a transparent approach to making decisions and creating specific data sharing agreements in order to fully realise the benefits and value of data and information services in a city.
Missing data or misinterpretation of data can lead to the wrong actions being taken by city decision-makers. A decision-making framework for sharing data can help ensure that they have the best overall data on which to base decisions.
This PAS does not cover:
  1. a) national security issues;
  2. b) good practice for use of data by the citizen;
  3. c) existing interoperability agreements between cities;
  4. d) defining application programming interfaces (API) networks; or
  5. e) any data sharing rules and regulations specific to a particular jurisdiction.
It is assumed that a security-minded approach to data sharing is used by cities.

NOTE 1 Requirements on establishing and implementing a security-minded approach to data sharing are specified in PAS 185 (in preparation).

NOTE 2 Further details on the areas not covered in this PAS, including information on relevant standards publications, are given in Annex A.

This PAS is for use by decision-makers in smart cities from the public, private and third sectors. It is also of interest to any city organization wishing to share data.
