Non-confidential data can now be shared between government entities and other stake holders as a result of a new law. The Dubai Open Data Law was issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. An integrated platform will make the data accessible to researchers, investors and service developers. Dr. Aisha Bin Bishr, Assistant Director of The Executive Office, says this law will help clarify any confusion there is on the types of data the city uses. This law is part of the framework for turning Dubai into a Smart City.
