BS ISO/IEC 30182:2017

What is this standard about?

It provides a framework within which data that is created, used and maintained by a city across all sectors can be used in interoperable ways to provide community services.

Who is this standard for?

• Organizations that provide services to communities in cities
• Organizations that manage the resulting data
• City policy developers
• Elected leaders and senior executives within local authorities
• Others who are interested in leading and shaping the city environment, including:
  • Senior executives in the private sector
  • Leaders from the voluntary and higher and further education sectors
  • Community innovators and representatives

Why should you use this standard?

Because when cities exploit the potential of interoperable data it leads to many benefits, including:

• Reduced cost as the need to re-collect and verify data is removed
• Integrated city systems and services driven by data
• A common understanding of the needs of communities
• Shared objectives, collaboratively developed and evidenced using data
• Engaged and enabled citizens and communities
• Transparency in decision-making
• Development of partnership models
• Businesses and communities co-creating innovation
• Improved quality of life for citizens
