Who decides whether to make certain data Open?
The owner(s) of the rights in that data. This is both a simple statement and potentially very complex as the rights owners may be many and varied. In most cases, the people who make a decision to publish, and were intimately involved in the generation of the data, should be making this decision. The organisations that fund the gathering and integration of data may choose to require that data they have paid for be made open.
