Unfortunately, not all data held by an organisation is generated and held in a publishable format.
The data in this example is created incidentally within email chains as part of a broader process.
It's really not cost effective to publish real-time data that's been requested by these firms.
So in principle, I agree that where there is substantial data held that the public are interested in, it should be published. However, it's not feasible or cost effective to publish all data or records held by a public organisation.
- fsflover 3mo agoCould those email chains be turned into a mailing list available by default, like lkml.org ? Then nothing would need to be done to make it "cost effective to publish".
- Markomancer 3mo agoThanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately not. The email chains containing this data could never be published without significant redaction as they centre around services provided to members of the public and contain their personal information. Publishing any of that would result in a breach of GDPR and litigation
- fsflover 3mo agoThank you for the explanation!
