Project OpenData

Based on starting points we declare following goals for the project:

• to define 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,
• creation of prototype collective catalogue,
• creation of prototype data warehouse (DWH) for collection, processing and storage of meta data about data published by institutions,
• to develop a reporting layer on top of the data for comfortable creation of reports and modeling of data using web interface - Open Data Portal,
• 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,
• to launch "support center" helping future users of this system with its integration with their other systems

First step- definition of formats for sharing and selection of appropriate OSS technologies

Proposed solution includes an open source package and deployment methodology, providing to the organization (ministry, municipality, non-profit organization, corporation) a tool, for publication of data from its internal systems. In first phase we publish public information by using open standards. (for example publicly accessible contracts, invoices, accounting data, public notices etc.)

...

We suppose, that for the needs of OpenData implementation, we are gonna be able to successfully use the potential of existing Slovak open source package - Custodea, that implements the digital publishing in the culture sector.

Solution architecture

How it works

• Installed package of (open source) application - Open Data Node - collects documents and metadata about them, then process them and provides them to the public, institutions and to applications.
