LeGSB - Working with North West Information Sharing Group

Paul Davidson (Director of Standards) has joined the North West Information Sharing Group (NWISG), which has helped to progress LeGSB's thinking on standards for data sharing as a result. The group has made some good suggestions about how the topic can be broken down, so that we now have a model that incorporates

• Semantics - The meaning of information
• Syntax - The structure of information
• Data Quality - The confidence to use information
• Authorisation - The right to use information
• Authentication - Who is accessing information
• Transport - How to move information

• Information Governance - the behaviour and culture to protect and explot information
