- Project OpenData aims to provide reference Open Source implementation for open publishing of data by institutions and individuals,
- implementation suitable for national, sector or individual solutions.
Project goals
- to define creation of a pilot implementation of Open Data Node (along with definition of formats and open source technologies) which can be used by institutions to publish data - to create a pilot implementation of Open Data Node,
- promotion of sharing of public data between citizens and government agencies and between government agencies too,
- support for third sector for development of solutions on top of this project,
- to achieve legislation about publication of data generated by public sector using Creative Commons licensing,
- to promote the idea of using open source solutions in government,
...
- definition of formats for sharing of data
- selection of appropriate OSS technologies
- implementation of an open source package and deployment methodology
- creation of prototype collective catalogue
- creation of prototype data warehouse (DWH) for collection, processing and storage of meta data about data published by institutions
- development of a Open Data Portal containing reporting layer on top of the data for comfortable creation of reports and modeling of data using web interface - Open Data Portal
- launch of "support center" helping future users of this system with its integration with their other systems

Every organization can choose what kind of data will publish and how often. We believe, that open communication between organizations and the public will create a sensible compromise between secretiveness and openness.
...
- reuse of what's already available
- selection of the best of what's available
- help with improving use feedback from this project to improve selected formats and technologies to become even better using feedback from the implementation, testing and usage of this solution
- conversion of data in specialized, scarcely available data formats into more accessible form
Example #1: Publishing of digital documents is peaking in the area of catalogization and archiving of literature and cultural works. As cataloguing of cultural data is very similar to cataloguing of government dataThanks to similarities with Open Data, we can borrow already defined communication standard Open Archives Initiative Protocol (OAI-PMH).
