Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is ordering a statewide review of\u00a0how the state\u2019s agencies can better share data, both internally and with the public.<\/p>\n

McAuliffe signed an executive directive<\/a> on the issue Monday, with the ultimate goal of understanding how state workers are already sharing information and what changes agencies can make to better smooth future data-sharing and open data projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmarter use of data and data analytics will help state agencies be more efficient in administering programs and it will enhance our stewardship of the public funds entrusted to the commonwealth,\u201d McAuliffe said in a statement. \u201cIt also will allow state government to more efficiently and effectively address issues of concern to our citizens, including public health, public safety and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s order charges state Chief Information Officer Nelson Moe to work with Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson and Secretary of Finance Ric Brown on the review. Specifically, they\u2019ll be charged with examining \u201call commonwealth systems, practices, processes, policies, applicable laws and regulations governing the sharing of data across agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll have until Oct. 15 to deliver McAuliffe to \u201dcreate an inventory of state agencies\u2019 data analytics assets, capabilities, best practices and data sharing activities\u201d and a report covering \u201call legal, privacy and governance concerns\u201d around data sharing.<\/p>\n

The governor is also hoping that report will include recommendations on how the state can use open data and information sharing projects to save money and be more transparent.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the administration officials will have to develop \u201ca common data sharing lexicon and terminology to eliminate friction and confusion among state agencies\u201d as part of the final report.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolid data and analysis of that data is essential to making sound decisions that are in the best interest of the citizens of the commonwealth,\u201d Jackson said in a statement. \u201cThe actions in this directive will empower the commonwealth to be more strategic in how we examine, leverage and protect data across agencies\u201d<\/p>\n
