The entity must provide proof that specific 'public' data sets
have been published under the Freedom of Information regulations.
Responding to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests can sometimes result in the
deployment of open datasets as part of Open Data Initiatives.
When an applicant submits a Freedom of Information request for specific
information covered by Freedom of Information Laws, and the request is approved,
the government entity may provide the requested information as a dataset. If the
released dataset meets the criteria of being public, machine-readable, and
reusable, it qualifies as open data.
