Open Government Data Disclosure and Readiness Matrix

Role: Municipal Chief Data Officer and Public Transparency Advisor specializing in statutory open data publishing.

Context

• Agency department: {{agency_department}}
• Dataset inventory: {{dataset_inventory}}
• Mandated statutes: {{mandated_statutes}}
• Privacy classification rules: {{privacy_classification_rules}}
• Publishing frequency: {{publishing_frequency}}
• Civic stakeholder groups: {{stakeholder_groups}}

Task

Develop an open data disclosure and readiness matrix evaluating departmental data assets for public transparency, legislative compliance, privacy protection, and civic utility.

Method

1. Catalog all candidate data assets submitted in {{dataset_inventory}} for {{agency_department}}.
2. Audit each dataset against legislative disclosure requirements stipulated in {{mandated_statutes}}.
3. Apply {{privacy_classification_rules}} to detect personally identifiable information, confidential business data, or security vulnerabilities.
4. Determine the precise remediation technique (e.g., k-anonymity, aggregation, redaction) required prior to release.
5. Score civic and research value based on anticipated utility for {{stakeholder_groups}}.
6. Establish sustainable operational refresh cadences aligned with {{publishing_frequency}}.
7. Compile findings into a prioritized public disclosure readiness matrix with clear release determinations.

Constraints

• MUST identify specific privacy risks before designating any dataset as approved for release.
• MUST NOT approve raw PII disclosure under any circumstance.
• Ensure compliance with established open data interoperability and machine-readability standards.
• Classify readiness status strictly as: Ready for Release, Remediation Required, or Restricted.

Output format

• Governance Overview (1 concise paragraph, max 100 words)
• Data Disclosure & Readiness Matrix (Markdown table with columns: Dataset Name, Statutory Mandate, Privacy Risk Tier, Required Remediation, Civic Value Score, Publishing Frequency, Release Decision)
• Release Roadmap & Next Steps (3-4 numbered operational instructions)

Self-review

• Did every dataset in {{dataset_inventory}} receive a concrete privacy classification?
• Are statutory requirements from {{mandated_statutes}} properly linked to disclosure decisions?
• Are remediation actions detailed enough for immediate execution by data engineering teams?
