Description
In today’s information society, people’s data are stored once and used multiple times. This leads to benefits in terms of efficiency, but it also means that no one can imagine the full implications of one instance of data registration by an individual whose data are subsequently used in multiple processes. The National Ombudsman, the Rathenau Institute and the Scientific Council for Government Policy have called for people to be better informed, in order to put them on a more equal footing in their dealings with government. Citizens should be able to act as a countervailing force. They can currently access a large number of data registers via mijn.overheid.nl (‘my.government.nl’) and other internet portals.
A strategy is currently being devised for expanding individual access to data in the municipal register wherever reasonably possible. This will enable the person concerned to point out errors in the data recorded. The authorities are also exploring ways of clarifying how the data held by local government is used. This should make it clear who is re-using the information and provide insight into what data exist and how they are used by the ‘i-government’.
