APDU Guiding Principles for Public Data
The Association of Public Data Users (APDU) affirms that accessible, high-quality, and responsibly governed public data are essential for informed decision-making in the public interest. These guiding principles articulate the values and expectations that should shape the stewardship, dissemination, and use of public data in the United States. They are intended to guide both data providers and users toward shared goals of transparency, trust, and societal benefit.
