6. Without a licence, data is not truly open.
A licence tells anyone that they can
access, use and share your data.
Unless you have a licence, data may be
‘publicly available’, but users will not have
permission to access, use and share it
under copyright or database laws.

15. Inconsistent Definitions/Understanding

17. The open data domain is closely related to the concepts of 'big
data' and 'personal data', leading to the terms sometimes being
used incorrectly to describe each other.
● While open data describes what you can do with a dataset
(namely access, use and share it),
● big data is a term used to describe the size of a dataset.
● Personal data refers to any data which concerns individuals.
