The EU Directive on the re-use of public sector information has set the foundation for equal rights of every potential user of public information while the latest amendments are resulting in the accelerated opening up of public information. The Ministry of Public Administration aims to improve access to open public sector information by setting up a new system for the publication of open public sector information, built on open source solutions. Alongside technological overhaul, another special challenge is the deployment of a data publisher network. In line with strategic goals and legislation, open public sector information will be published via the national open data portal (OPSI). In the future, what needs to be established is an open data ecosystem where data providers can meet with data analysts and application developers, and where innovative applications are developed on top of open data offering various quality services to citizens.
