Strategies

Strategies

The valorization of public information assets is a strategic objective for public administrations. To unlock the potential of the immense heritage of data collected and managed by public administrations, it is necessary to consider them as a common good that can be shared for free.

  1. Open Data definition

    The Digital Administration Code (CAD) defines the characteristic of open data: in short, they must be data available to everyone, accessible through digital technologies and free of charge.

  2. Three-Year Plan

    AgID pursues strategic objectives regarding the use of open data as defined in the Three-year Plan for Information Technology in public administration.

  3. Guideline on Open Data

    The document aims to support public administrations in the process of opening up data and reusing public sector information. It provides guidance on formats, publication methods, metadata profiles, licences and pricing, reuse requests and search tools, as well as recommendations on organisational aspects and data quality.

Tools

Databases of national interest

These are reliable databases, homogeneous in type and content, and relevant for the performance of the institutional functions of public administrations and for analytical purposes. They constitute the backbone of public informative wealth.

PA Index

It is the register that contains reliable information on public administrations and public service providers.

Open Formats

AgID maintains and regularly updates a list of open formats that can be used by public administrations. These formats are digital data whose syntax, semantics, operational context and methods of use are made public through documentation. Furthermore, the XBRL standard, the editable electronic format for presenting financial statements, was also introduced.

Controlled vocabularies

They are defined in the Three-Year Plan. This is a common and shared way to organise recurring codes and nomenclatures in a standardised manner and provide a comprehensive and rigorous conceptualisation within a given domain. On this topic, AgID implemented the INSPIRE Italia Registry System.

Spatial Data

AgID supports administrations in the definition of technical rules for the information, documentation, exchange and reuse of spatial data held by public administrations, a great wealth of information that is unfortunately often fragmented.
