[open-government] Russian Open Data: Concrete Outcomes

[Andrew Stott]

Ivan

 

These are impressive figures for value-added business growth already from using open procurement data – even by what we have seen in terms of business demand for this sort of data elsewhere (see for instance http://euroalert.net and http://www.spikescavell.co.uk/ ), and one of the policy drivers for open procurement data is often to level the playing field for SMEs.  Do you have links and screenshots that you can share please?

 

Any good stories about the startups adding this value to open data to share please?

 

Incidentally when I tried the Russian Federal Contracts site the download of the results of a search seemed limited to 500 results; is the full data available please?

 

Regards

 

Andrew

Hi Eda, 

   sure we have concrete outcome.

 

For example Open government data like procurement data and government spending data helped a lot of startups and existing projects to provide services for suppliers and customers. We have about 15 projects for suppliers that monitor new government tenders and provide analysis of past contracts. It generates market with $60mln turnover per year.

 

 

Best Regards,

   Ivan

Hi Ivan,

 

It is really facinating. I'm sure it will help to increase transparency, accountability and citizens' quality of life.

Is there any concrete outcome of publishing open data?

 

Thanks

Best Regards

Eda
