Who is the framework for?

The Use case framework is a tool for anyone who would like to use OA specifications to solve a problem or create a new opportunity that contributes towards the initiative’s strategic outcomes. Solutions are broad and varied, and could include: data, technology, processes, standards, training or guidance.

Examples of organisations that could use the framework include:

• Organisations that hold data related to opportunities for people to be active. For example: activities and events, organisations, places, routes.

• Innovators and start-ups with exciting ideas about ways of using and sharing data to reach more people.

• Organisations in the existing OA community that are working to grow OA through the development of their own work streams or by supporting new organisations to adopt OA infrastructure and enter the community.

• Policymakers.

• Organisations new to the OA community that would like to explore the ways in which the OA specifications can be applied to their work.
