[open-government] Fwd: Survey: Open data in the governmental agenda of your country?

Thu Jul 1 07:07:14 UTC 2010

Hi Antti,

The policy agenda document of the government of the Flemish region in Belgium for the next 5 years includes a commitment of the minister-president to make public sector geographic data widely available for any kind of re-use. To my knowledge, there are no intentions of putting this on the agenda of the next federal government (the coalition is currently being negotiated) or of the other regional governments.

Best regards,
Katleen

Any pointers to Antti about open data and the national agenda in your country?

Hi,

In Finland we have new prime minister (the whole government didn't
change though). She inserted one very important sentence in the
official agenda of the current government (one year until the next
elections).

"The government will make principle decitions that enable opening up
the data sources managed by the public sector organizations.."

-this means that the law changes that are needed to get many important
data sources available free of charge can be made straight after the
next elections 2011.

Because of this I got invited to speak about open data to an event in
the Finnish parliament 30th on June.

My question for you: "Do you have eny mentions about open data in the
official agenda of your countrys agenda" (sorry I don't know the right
word for this agenda paper, but propably you get the point)

It would be great to give a glimpse of development from different
European countries.

BR,

-Jogi from Finland
