Regels over het hergebruik van overheidsinformatie (Wet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie)

This Dutch bill, the Wet hergebruik van overheidsinformatie, sets out rules for how government bodies make their information available for reuse by others. Reuse means using public documents and data for new purposes, such as commercial products, research or apps. The law aims to make public information easier to access and use, in line with open data principles. Government bodies that hold public information would be directly affected, as they would need to follow the reuse conditions and procedures set out in the law. Companies, researchers, developers and members of the public who want to reuse government data would benefit from clearer rules. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text.
