[open-government] Council of Ministers adopts Royal Decree on re-use of public sector information

Tue Oct 25 10:32:26 UTC 2011

Cadastre will be covered, although they have, as you say, specific regulations under their law.

Hopefully the new decree appears in the forthcoming days, so you'll be able to read it through.

Regards

Jorge

Great news

Will that cover the cadastre as well? Right now it has a very complex 3 level access with electronic signatures.

un saludo, Javier

Dear all

Today the Council of Ministers has adopted the Royal Decree on re-use of public sector information, for the national public sector.

As you will perhaps remember this Royal Decree underwent a public consultation during November and December 2010.

The final text of the Royal Decree will be published shortly in the Official Gazette. The announcement of its adoption can be accessed at http://www.lamoncloa.gob.es/ConsejodeMinistros/Referencias/_2011/refc20111021.htm#DatosPublicos (in Spanish). We are planning to informally translate the decree into English in the coming weeks.

Please find attached to this email an informal summary in English of the Royal Decree's main elements, which could be summed up as establishing the rule of making public data open and available by default.

I hope this piece of news will be of your interest.

With kindest regards
