Each council must have a Publication Scheme which sets out the information that it makes available to the public. This change relates to 'datasets', an example of a dataset is a register of allotment holders in electronic form. If information requested is held in the form of a dataset then the council should not put in place obstacles to the re-use of that information, by for example, claiming copyright to the information.
The briefing is on the BALC website
More information on Publication Schemes is on the Information Commissioners office website
