Developed by aconium and Trexima, this first draft lays the foundation for supporting public administrations on their data opening journey. It addresses critical points, such as:
- The state of existing open data ecosystems
– Priorities for developing and releasing datasets
– Ensuring GDPR-compliant and secure data handling
– Identifying key stakeholders and decision-makers
– Avoiding common pitfalls and following proven best practices
A big thank you goes to all consortium and associated partners for their contribution through interviews and surveys. Their valuable input – from leading regions such as Warsaw and Linz to partners just starting their open data journey like Zadar, Velenje and Sopot – ensures the strategy is applicable and impactful for both beginners and more advanced municipalities. A sincere thank you to everyone involved for their dedication, expertise and collaboration.
But the journey continues: the strategy will now evolve further through an iterative process, while the consortium’s focus shifts to developing the Data Utilisation Strategy focusing on the reuse of open data. Step by step, we’re building a strong framework for open and secure public data across Central Europe.
