# MIM0: Accessing Data

OASC MIM0: Accessing Data

## Introduction

This MIM helps cities and communities to overcome the challenges of accessing data that currently reside in silos and are often fragmented across different systems and locked away by making recommendations of how data should be made accessible so it can be easier accessed and reused in an interoperable way.

## Objective

Being able to access data and understanding how this access is organised.
