Open Data Linking on the State Institutions’ Portals (MK0093)

Status quo or problem addressed by the commitment: Easier identification and searching for published data sets directly from the web sites of data holder institutions. Main objective: Each institution publishing open data on the portal, should have a special open data section on its website, where all published data set are listed, with appropriate link to the central open data portal. Brief description of commitment: By simulation of an ordinary citizen searching for certain data on the state institutions’ portals (supposing that they could be found there), we will face a situation where a citizen fails to find required data, although they have been published on the open data portal. Therefore, it is necessary that each institution publishing open data on the portal has a special open data section on its website, where all published data set are listed, with appropriate link to the central open data portal. OPG challenge addressed by the commitment: Полесна идентификација и пронаоѓање на објавените податочни сетови директно од веб страните на институциите сопственици на податоците. Reference to the global objectives of sustainable development: Reference to the Objective 16. “Peace, justice and strong institutions” Target 16.10: Ensuring access to information and protection of the fundamental freedoms, in agreement with the national legislative and international agreements. Measures of this commitment contribute for improving access and data sets use on the web sites of data holder institutions. Relevance: Implementation of this measure will ensure a comprehensive approach to data set publication and consummation. This would eliminate cases of double published data sets. Ambition: Publication of all data sets centrally on the open data portal and posting direct links to those data sets on the data holder institutions’ web portals.
