Open Data basics:
• Piece of data that anyone is free to use,
reuse, and redistribute
• Mostly associated with public sector
data, but not exclusively!
• Required by PSI directive (since 6/2015)
Context: Get the best of YOUR and Open Data
Statements caught on ICT2015:
1. Open Data is available
2. Institutions are able to publish OD
3. The question now is how to re-use
and get the value out of it
… really?

„such requirements are cheap
to implement, if indroduced
in early design phases“
„later you'll be able to publish
Open Data much more easily“
• Our proposal for a new IT standard
• Derived from COMSODE methodology
• Set of principles to follow when upgrading:
• information systems
• processes and workflows
• organizational structures
• Aimed to prepare institutions for publication
of Open Data, when the right time comes
