Comments from Members

The opinions of the members of this working group are as follows.
In addition to the following, we have received information from Member Endo and will publish it separately as Reference Material 2.

[Material 1. Promotion of the Comprehensive Data Strategy and Future Initiatives (Draft)]
Gold bullion members

  • There are still uncertainties about generative AI, but at this point, I think it is correctly understood and written down. It is quite possible that next year or the year after next will be a completely different situation, but I think the direction for now is good.

Member Endo

  • The key is that when data is used as a source of value, the value of the whole optimization type can be created, and data must be prepared in a form that can do this.
  • In order to achieve value in the overall optimization, it is important to balance privacy and value, and it is necessary to collect and use data while obtaining consensus on the side that receives value. This is also very important for improving the quality of value creation in Japan in the future. It is important to promote how to collect data with a strong awareness of this, how to be real-time, how to balance privacy issues and value creation, and how to promote DX, while coordinating awareness between the public and private sectors.

Member of Ohta

  • It is good if the outcome of the data strategy is clear, and the expectation and direction are clear. As a simple outcome, is it used? Even if open data and procedures are increasingly online, it is meaningless if they are not used.
  • It is very good that you can use the commercial registration of a corporation and the real estate registry of the land to make a efficiency.
  • As for DFFT and Trusted Web, in this area, I think it is necessary not only to organize concepts and technologies, but also to be able to use them in business.

Koshizuka Members

  • As for the global data strategy, the latest developments are quite intense on the European side, so it would have been better to update it a bit more if possible.
  • Even if individual measures are implemented in each ministries and agencies, I think it is Digital Agency's responsibility to implement them in a horizontal manner. ・ In the future, it would be better to clarify the implementation schedule and system of measures.
  • In order to listen to the opinions of the members, it would have been better if the Data Strategy Promotion Working Group had been implemented a little earlier.
  • About 1200 local government have started to implement open data, and some local government are making steady progress, but there is also local government, where open data has been created but how to continue it from now on is a Issue. Even without AI, open data has been said to be important for a long time. It is better to predict what will change further due to the emergence of AI, and what will be the difference between before AI and after AI.

Member Goto

  • This is the overall awareness of the EU in the global data strategy, but in reality, there is a considerable difference in temperature between Germany and France in the EU. I understand that it is difficult to summarize the amount of text in a compact manner, but it should be noted that the EU is not monolithic.
  • It says, "In light of the increase in cyber risks and the need to protect privacy, it is necessary to promote it by balancing utilization and protection, while paying attention to trends in the transformation of regulation in Japan and overseas." I think it is important, but there was no discussion on how to protect it this time. With regard to corporate data and data such as trade secrets and trade secrets, what do they do when they are attacked, especially internationally? Germany and France have their own strategies, for example, France is trying to stop the leakage of information overseas through blocking laws. With regard to personal data, Japanese are highly aware of it, including laws, but I think it is important to consider whether corporate data is okay when viewed from the perspective of global business and Minister in charge of Administrative Reform Okada.

SAITO Member

  • We have no particular comments.

Shimoyama Member

  • Is it possible to issue guidelines, such as the ideal form of data management, in addition to GIFs? In particular, when specializing in public authorities data, there are cases in which general data management concepts cannot be used as they are, so they are sometimes required to be translated for administrative use. There is a cycle in which actual surveys and assessments are conducted and improvements are made, so it is necessary for the government to issue guidelines that can be used by local government based on these.
  • With the spread of AI and other technologies, data management is important and demand for accurate data as public authorities is increasing, so it is necessary to update it regularly. There is a possibility that the reliability of the data collected by AI will be weighted, and I think the data output by public authorities is likely to be highly reliable, but if the data is not output in a form that can be read by AI or if the data is less accurate, it will be mistakenly learned, which is a risk for public authorities.

Member Shoji

  • We have been creating data that can be used in open data. There is a story about generative AI, but I think it is a world that will expand beyond that, a world of applications, so I would like to connect documents and data that have been created in various ways in the past so that they can be taken over and used. It is not good to talk about creating a new data infrastructure for generative AI from scratch, so I would like you to be aware of your past assets.

Member Tezuka

  • We would like to ask you to strengthen the "with Trust" part in Trust and DFFT, which is an important position in future data strategies, using IAP and the like.
  • With all the information out there, you can't do anything if the original information is disinformation, so how to secure it is Trust, data strategy itself.

Member Tomioka

  • We have no particular comments.

Member Murai

  • Regarding AI, it has been described whether a mechanism for open data and use can be created, and how a government system can be created. So, how can the content be created? Since it is a field that cannot be progressed if left alone, Digital Agency must be a driving force in a sense.

Member Watanabe

  • The implementation Guidance for the Platform was created, and then the Data Governance Guidelines were created in the smart cities project. The OECD is also creating similar guidelines. It is important to actually refer to the implementation Guidance, and the use cases should also be understood.
  • Since there is a lack of explanation for some keywords, please consider adding footnotes.

[Material 2. Operation system of the base registry]
Gold bullion members

  • We have no particular comments.

Member Endo

  • If Digital Agency will be in charge of data management, it is desirable that the operation system of the base registry will also be under the umbrella of Digital Agency in the future, and it is necessary to make it in a form that Digital Agency can manage on the horizontal axis. I think this arrangement is the answer at present, but I would like you to consider integrating it in some form.

Member of Ohta

  • We have no particular comments.

Koshizuka Members

  • I feel that there is a gap between the name of the National Printing Bureau and the business content of the base registry, but I would like you to explain this point carefully to the outside.

Member Goto

  • Both the National Printing Bureau and the Statistics Center are aware of the outline of organization, and there is nothing particularly strange about the arrangement of the secretariat.

SAITO Member

  • The digital completion is who makes the design of the total system assuming the use scene, such as making the system in the Issue and utilizing the data from the place of jurisdiction to the outside.
    From that perspective, I would like to see a design of the overall architecture, including governance.

Shimoyama Member

  • When considering the operation in the future, it may be necessary to conduct an evaluation, for example, once a year, from the viewpoint of quality control. At that time, it is necessary to consider whether it will be conducted by the National Printing Bureau or Digital Agency. In particular, it is sufficient if there is a method that can present the definition of the base registry that the quality is maintained and compensated for so that external users can understand it.

Member Shoji

  • I agree (to borrow the knowledge of the Printing Bureau). I think that cleansing in the base registry is a kind of world close to standardization. Since there is a lot of tacit knowledge, I agree that it is stable in organization, and if possible, it is a stable independent administrative agency rather than a place where people are replaced in about 2 years like ordinary ministries and agencies.

Member Tezuka

  • In the United States, I think the National Archives of Japan is doing it, but listening to the explanation of the Secretariat, the National Printing Bureau seems to be good in Japan.
