Session

Open data at your fingertips #LovableOpenData

  • Time: 14h00-14h30
  • Location: Salle Biéreau
  • Level: Intermediate
  • Type: Workshop

The regional Government of Flanders is focusing on Lovable Open Data. Flanders published a data portal containing well over 4000 Open Data Sets, but due to a lack of interoperability, interconnecting to these sources of information remains a challenge. To dissolve the boundaries between these data silos, the Flemish government built a strategy based on Linked Data. In this session they share their strategy and release the 5-star Public Organisations Base Registry. The Flemish Agency for Domestic Governance created an Open Source tool which facilitates a more transparent local decision-making process. Local Council Decisions are often bulky and contain unstructured information. The Open Editor supports administrations to create and publish local decisions without additional efforts as Linked Open Data. The information is suitable to be reused, organized, searched, shared, and displayed in many different ways by the citizen and private sector.
