a. Public administration Data for Economic Development:
1. open data:
* when building new and developing the existing IS, the compliance with open data principle
should be included in the framework of the system evaluating the possible utilisation of data sets
and accessibility of user groups, data quality and recovery;
* the data possessed by the State should be both legally and technologically accessible for
common use and re-use considering personal data protection and limited accessibility information
aspects, as well as the terms of re-use;
* information resources, whose provision, preparation, processing, maintenance and delivery to
users (digitalised materials and data sets) is fully provided within the framework of public
funding (State or local government budgetary subsidy, financing of EU Structural funds), are
available free of charge for public administration institutions for common usage.
* if a fee is foreseen for the use of the information possessed by a State sector institution it should
not exceed the reproduction, provision and distribution marginal costs of these resources,
exceptionally, this condition may not be applied to:
- institutions, which are inquired to make a profit to cover a significant part of expenses that
relate to the execution of public functions assigned to them;
- the cases prescribed in legal acts – information18, regarding which respective institutions are
inquired to make revenue to cover significant part of expenses that relate to information
aggregation, production, reproduction and distribution;
- libraries, including university libraries, museums and archives;
- the fee set in the exception principles is applied considering only objective, visible and
verifiable criteria, which are prescribed in legal acts. The estimation base for such fee is defined
in advanced and published. In justified and defined exception cases institutions’ overall revenue
from information provision and re-use allowance in corresponding accounting period, shall not
exceed aggregation, production, reproduction and distribution expenses (for libraries, museums
and archives, as well as – expenses related to rights acquisition) together with proportional profit
from capital investment.
* the required funding for the basic activities of public administration institutions shall be
planned and provided independently from revenue which may result from the re-use and common
usage of the information owned by the institutions.
2. partition of data and services
* IS architecture is built in order to provide options for connection to a database and building new
services for operations with IS data by using documented data structure and application
programming interface (API);
* Self-service and data issue solutions are provided in API development as well, organising the
issuing as centralised as possible.
b. rational ICT governance:
1. while developing State governance ICT solutions, institutions evaluate the solutions existing in
public administration, including already developed software component and source code usage;
