    avoiding the compliance trap
Costs too much; What’s the business case; Has commercial value; Possible
privacy issues; Confidential info; It’s not ours, and we don’t know who owns it;
It’s not ours and supplier won’t allow it; The quality isn’t very good; We don’t
know where it is; Not our job; It’s in a useless format anyway; I don’t have the
authority; People will misuse the data; People will use it wrongly; Only we
understand our data; We’ll get sued; Files are just too big; Too little bandwith;
It starts with this, but where’s the end? It’s there, but can’t be opened; Data is
dated/too old; It’s not in digital format; Is this even legal?; Our Minister says no;
We never have done this before, why start now?; I don’t see the use; Nobody will

be interested; No time; No resources; Just do FOIA requests; We’ll publish it
redacted; It’s not complete; It contains errors; It’s commercially sensitive;

    work, networked learning
Combining this with other data is dangerous; People will come to wrong
conclusions; People will get lost and confused; It will trigger endless discussions;
We can’t confirm or deny we have that data; We’ll get feedback, and can’t handle
that; Our IT supplier says it’s not possible; Our IT supplier will charge too much;
Our site will crash; It’s already online! (but in unfindable PDFs); If people
download it and use it later it will be outdated; I can’t take responsibility for all the
reuse; People will get angry; Our data is in contradiction to the data of the
department that is in charge of the topic; Only we truly understand.....statistics/
meteo/geo/laws; We’ll disrupt the market; It will only be used to attack us.
