The document outlines an agenda for a local authority incentive scheme meeting in Leeds. The agenda includes welcome addresses, presentations on Leeds' open data initiatives, an overview of the open data agenda and economic benefits, and details of the local authority incentive scheme and how to apply for funding. The scheme aims to incentivize local councils to publish high-value open data in priority areas like public conveniences, planning, and licensing to increase transparency and opportunities for reuse.

50. www.local.gov.uk/lginformplus@LGInformPlus
Supported by the LGA because...
• LAs hold much data that could contribute
to social & economic growth if released
nationally
• Much data is fragmented, inconsistent and
not published on data.gov.uk.
• Local government is well placed with best
practice in information sharing standards
built up over a decade
• LAs are given incentives through support,
coordination and funding.

51. www.local.gov.uk/lginformplus@LGInformPlus
What the scheme sets out to do
• Provide useful data – responding to common
requests
• Keep it as simple as possible for councils
• Enable data users to accurately interpret data
and aggregate it across councils
