Government strategy, produced in partnership with industry and academia, that sets direction and leadership for UK data capability. This includes several aspects:
- human capital: a skilled workforce, and data-confident citizens
- the tools and infrastructure which are available to store and analyse data
- data as an enabler: the ability of consumers, businesses and academia to access and share data appropriately
This strategy includes measures to:
- build capability in the commercial, academic and public sector
- strengthen skills focused at schools, higher and further education
- continue professional development
- ensure that the UK’s infrastructure and R&D environment supports improved data capability
This data capability strategy is an outcome of the information economy strategy published in June 2013.
