In order to ensure adherence, by the implementing entity, of its responsibilities set out in regulation 16(2), data owners shall be responsible to:

(a) directly maintain and ensure that the classification and other metadata as published on the national data portal reflects the true information in respect of the specific register or registers which fall within their legal responsibilities; and

(b) provide to the implementing entity the required software products and tools that shall be used to enable the ‘machine to machine’ communication of contents that may be allowed to be shared or re-used on the basis of the classifications assigned and published by the data owner on the national data portal;

(c) data owners shall be obliged to maintain and publish on the national data portal a list of datasets and their respective API’s. Each dataset thus published should also be linked to an official register as previously included in the Register of Registers; and

(d) data owners shall be obliged to maintain on the national data portal the relevant data governance details which may be authorised by the Data Governance Council so that the relevant data flows and data dependencies can be effectively managed at the national level.
