The Dubai Open Data Law was issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Dr. Aisha Bin Bishr, Assistant Director of The Executive Office, says this law will help clarify any confusion there is on the types of data the city uses. This law is part of the framework for turning Dubai into a Smart City.
