Presumably, if it is fully funded or majority-funded by the State, it will come under FOI. That is not really a question for the witnesses to answer, but I presume that is the case. I understand that Benefacts gathers all the data and repackages it in a format that is readable and sellable, or readable and useable. That is fine. Who actually owns that? Data needs format. Who owns the data with the new format? Does the State own it or does Benefacts own it?
