Description
As part of Ministry of Finance’s open data programme the possibility to open more docu- ments in structured form will be studied. The Open Data program will start simultaneously with the implementation of the Action Plan. Year 1 information on public sector databases and the data sets is gathered by linking the specifications of IT- systems to one portal. Open data and open application interface requirements will be included in procurement guidelines for ICT- systems and architectural principles, in order to enable building of alternate user in- terfaces to IT- systems year 1 of the Action Plan. When purchasing analytical tools and re- search the possibility to publish tools, methods and data will be taken into account.
Starting from year 1 of the Action Plan data reserves that are central to openness of govern- ment will be opened. The project portfolio of State administration ICT projects and Govern- ment program follow-up data will be published online. The possibility to open legislation in machine-readable form is studied. In Years 2 and 3 more data will be opened.
