ИНИЦИАТИВАТА ЗА ОТВАРЯНЕ НА ДАННИ В АДМИНИСТРАЦИЯТА – МЕЖДУ ПРОЗРАЧНОСТТА И ИКОНОМИЧЕСКИЯ РАСТЕЖ

Abstract

In 2010 the European Commission published the Europe 2020 strategy. The priority in this document is given to the development of an innovative economy based on information technology including the data driven economy. That same year Britain published the first government data sets on official web portal. Three years later Directive 2013/37/EC of the European Council and the European Parliament has introduced a requirement for the EU members states to unify the rules for provision of information produced by the public sector. In early 2015 the Bulgarian specialized open data portal began operational. By the end of 2015 the law implementing Directive 2013/37/EC has passed through the National Assembly. However the policy for opening government data is unfocused. The purpose of this article is to present the initiative to open data and the possibilities for their use in Bulgaria with particular emphasis on the danger of shifting the focus of the initiative to secondary objectives without significant effect on society.
