The Scottish Government's refers to existing information legislation, and it adds that the Scottish Government's is part of a wider initiative which has been designed to get "public sector organisations across Europe releasing their data on a regular basis." [page 4]. Universities are encouraged to make available open data, although the Strategy also states that "..the Open Data Strategy encourages the proactive release of data in a manner currently beyond that required by legislation". [page 4].
