项目摘要

Access to administrative data for research purposes is a positive public good. The ability to use these records - collected in the course of normal business by governmental and other bodies - and to link them with each other and with other information about people and organisations, can greatly enhance our ability to do the research modern society needs. With these linked data we can evaluate public policies on everything from tax structures, educational reforms and health service innovations to changes in benefits regimes and the effect on crime and beyond. It can help us to model economic progress, assess the impact of changing legal and political circumstances and really understand societal change over time and place. These data are a rich and greatly under-utilised research resource. They are also governed by a myriad different departmental and national policies and legislative frameworks and gateways which make them extremely difficult to access, link and use in a consistently safe, secure and regulated fashion. Because these data are information about individual people and businesses collected not for research purposes per se, there are rightly many concerns about how they are used, in what settings, by whom and why. The purpose of the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) is to facilitate access to this rich research resource while preserving maximal data security and individual confidentiality. The Administrative Data Service (ADS) is a crucial part of ADRN; serving as the public face of the network and the bond which bridges the four national Administrative Data Research Centres (ADRCs). It provides: - the first port of call for researchers interested in using administrative data - substantial enhanced documentation and information about administrative data resources - what they contain, how they are structured, how and why they were collected, and how these have changed through time - extensive guidance on many issues around the use of administrative data for research, including briefs on the most up-to-date legal developments - the one-stop-shop where users can request access to administrative data and for data linkages for proposed research. The service collects all the required information about the researchers and their research, and negotiates with data owners for research access and with trusted third parties for data linkage. It allows researchers to track the status of their requests, and works with a network of experts to ensure that only feasible projects are put forward as data access and/or linkage requests to data owners. The service also is responsible for building consensus around standard procedures and practices among national statistical agencies, other data owners and ADRCs in regard to criteria for evaluating research and accrediting researchers, and requirements for secure facilities in which to access data. This consensus-building will have a great and long-ranging impact on all research which uses data. It sits squarely within the Open Government agenda but is also informed by and mindful of the increasing requirements for data protection. Getting the key stakeholders literally to sit around a table and discuss these issues and deliver proposed solutions may well be the service activity with the longest lasting impact. Finally, the service engages the public to ensure that the discourse around data protection and open government is informed by positive impact stories reflecting the public good that comes from enabling and easing research access to administrative data.

为研究目的获取行政数据是一项积极的公益。使用这些记录的能力-政府和其他机构在正常业务过程中收集-并将它们相互联系并与有关人员和组织的其他信息联系起来，可以大大提高我们进行现代社会所需研究的能力。有了这些相互关联的数据，我们可以评估公共政策的方方面面，从税收结构、教育改革和医疗服务创新，到福利制度的变化，以及对犯罪和其他方面的影响。它可以帮助我们模拟经济进步，评估不断变化的法律的和政治环境的影响，并真正了解随着时间和地点的社会变化。这些数据是一个丰富的研究资源，但利用率很低。它们还受到无数不同的部门和国家政策、立法框架和网关的制约，因此极难以一贯安全、可靠和受管制的方式访问、链接和使用。由于这些数据是关于个人和企业的信息，收集这些信息本身并不是为了研究目的，因此人们对它们如何使用、在什么环境中使用、由谁使用以及为什么使用这些数据有很多担忧。行政数据研究网络（ADRN）的目的是方便访问这一丰富的研究资源，同时保持最大的数据安全和个人保密。行政数据服务（ADS）是ADRN的重要组成部分;作为网络的公共形象和联系四个国家行政数据研究中心（ADRC）的纽带。它规定：- 对使用行政数据感兴趣的研究人员的第一个停靠港-关于行政数据资源的大量增强的文档和信息-它们包含什么，它们是如何结构的，它们是如何以及为什么被收集的，以及它们如何随着时间的推移而变化-关于使用行政数据进行研究的许多问题的广泛指导，包括有关最新法律的发展的简报-一站式服务，用户可以请求访问行政数据和拟议研究的数据链接。该服务收集有关研究人员及其研究的所有必要信息，并与数据所有者协商研究访问权，并与受信任的第三方协商数据链接。它允许研究人员跟踪其请求的状态，并与专家网络合作，以确保只有可行的项目才能作为数据访问和/或链接请求提交给数据所有者。该处还负责在国家统计机构、其他数据所有者和发展成果中心之间就评价研究和认证研究人员的标准以及安全设施获取数据的要求等标准程序和做法达成共识。这种共识的建立将对所有使用数据的研究产生巨大而长期的影响。它完全属于开放政府议程，但也了解并注意到对数据保护的日益增长的要求。让关键的利益相关者真正坐在一起讨论这些问题并提供建议的解决方案可能是具有最持久影响的服务活动。最后，这项服务使公众参与，以确保围绕数据保护和开放政府的讨论得到积极影响的故事的通报，这些故事反映了通过使研究人员能够和方便地获得行政数据而产生的公共利益。
