Open Data (BQ0002)

Open Data Euskadi and Linked Open Data Start date and end of the commitment: 1st September, 2018 - 31st August, 2020 Lead implementing agency/actor Basque Government. Directorate for citizen services and innovation and the improvement of the administration. Bizkaia Provincial Council. General Directorate for Transparency and Good Governance Commitment description What is the public problem that the commitment will address? Citizens need information in the power of public administrations in order to conduct research, understand the reality of our society and generate wealth, culture, knowledge and so on. However, the information that is currently available (until the present 3,400 datasets have been published in Open Data Euskadi, of which 672 are federated with Vitoria and Bilbao City Councils and Gipuzkoa Provincial Council), is not used. This sometimes happens because the information is scattered, incomplete or out of date, and sometimes happens because the information is either not publicly available or is difficult to find or gather within a document for society as a whole. This issue can only be resolved through collaboration between the different administrations and wider society. What is the commitment? • Identifying the most important content for organised and non-organised civil society, research staff, journalists, companies, students and so on. • Publishing this content in open formats which can be reused and which follow a common model for every administration and for society as a whole. This model will subsequently set the path for public administrations to publish other open data. • Creation of presentations which help to locate and understand information. The end goal is to contribute towards open knowledge, making public data openly available and developing new services that generate wealth, culture and knowledge and/or help to improve accountability in public management. How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem? • By exploring the aspirations and motivations of society in a collaborative manner. • By establishing a common Basque model for making data openly available, for every administration, with due protection of personal data. • By analysing the difficulties in accessing and understanding information for different social profiles and by developing tools that help to localise, understand and analyse this information, including tutorials and assistance in managing it. Why is this commitment relevant to OGP values? • It consists of publishing more information, improving its quality, facilitating citizens’ access to this information and improving the right to access information, and so on. Transparency is one of the fundamental values which drives the OGP. • It consists of creating opportunities, improving citizens’ ability to influence or make decisions about the common good through having access to better knowledge, and encourages participation in public matters, which is a value which drives the OGP
