Abstract: Web 2.0 will increase the diffusion of public sector information and the number of actors who can diffuse it. It is necessary to take measures to guarantee transparency and availability of information by all citizens when using Web 2.0. Specifically, in the paper we suggest to adopt several principles to improve the dissemination of public sector information via Web 2.0, which can be introduced regulating e-government, extending legislation on access to information or improving regulation on information re-use when public sector information is diffused by public administration. When information is diffused by the public, other mechanisms are proposed like re-use licences, codes of conduct, quality labels and terms and conditions, content rate systems and early warning and correction mechanisms.
