Definitions of terms related to the NSW Data Strategy are listed below. If you need assistance or would like to add a definition, please contact us at datansw@customerservice.nsw.gov.au.
| Actionable insights | Meaningful and actionable findings emerging from processed data, that can be leveraged to optimise decision-making processes. |
| Agency | A Public Service agency as defined by the Government Sector Employment Act – see also Schedule 1 of the GSE Act. |
| AI assessment | A framework designed to enable agencies to evaluate the risk associated with their AI solution and understand the required mitigations |
| Artificial intelligence (AI) | A computer system's ability to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and making decisions. |
| Australian National Data Integration Infrastructure (ANDII) | The underlying system that supports the National Disability Data Asset. |
| Automated Decision Making | Automated Decision Making (ADM) systems are computerised processes that either assist or replace the judgement of human decision-makers. An example is the use of cameras to detect illegal mobile phone use by drivers in NSW. Not all ADM systems use AI technologies, although ADM system risks should still be minimised as they can be biased and have the potential to cause harm. As with the use of AI, the use of ADM systems should be made transparent, so customers have the option to challenge decisions or seek a review of adverse decisions where ADM has been used. For more information about ADMs, see the IPC ADM factsheet. |
| Case study | An example of work the NSW Government is doing to achieve outcomes in the NSW Data Strategy. |
| Chief Cyber Security Officer | A senior-level executive who leads and coordinates all-of-government cyber security capability and providing strategic advice to the NSW government to support greater resilience to cyber security threats, both for government and the NSW community |
| Chief Data Officer | A senior executive from each Department who leads and champions data use and sharing across NSW Government. |
| Chief Information Officer | A senior-level executive who is responsible for leading and overseeing their agency's strategic information management and technology function and related business activities, staff, resources and systems |
| Closed Data | Closed data is restricted and may be sensitive or highly sensitive data. It can only be accessed by a particular business unit (its owner or custodian), or a subset of approved individuals or organisations for the authorised purpose for which they hold the data. Closed data is generally not released outside of the organisation, and in some cases, it is not released outside of the business unit. |
| Commitments | Commitments are published actions NSW Government agencies have agreed to work on in the defined timeframe. Each Mission in the Strategy has associated commitments to work towards achieving an overarching outcome. Commitments are typically large pieces of data work which will impact more than one agency and deliver outcomes for the Mission. |
| Communities of Practice | Groups organised around an activity or common practice but sometimes spatially diffuse. |
| Community | A community is a group of people who live in the same area or share common interests, values, or goals. |
| Cross sector | Working with other sectors to achieve common goals. |
