Benefacts Project: Discussion

2:10 pm

Ms Patricia Quinn:

If I may finish the answer, the open data is a public good and the work that Benefacts puts into it belongs to Benefacts. Benefacts is not a private company. It is not a company in which anybody has any ownership or equity. Rather, it is a company limited by guarantee without share capital. As such, Benefacts owns the data but deploys it for its public benefit purposes, which are set out very clearly in our documents.
