can easily aid in creating value-added products • Give citizens the incentive to demand open data more rigorously from the government • Fight misconceptions regarding open data in the administration – given the proper infrastructure, open data becomes the easier option for data publishing
can easily aid in creating value-added products • Give citizens the incentive to demand open data more rigorously from the government • Fight misconceptions regarding open data in the administration – given the proper infrastructure, open data becomes the easier option for data publishing • Lay the groundwork for creating a government operated central open data hub
of the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, Kamen Spassov • Create an experimental central hub for open data • Import existing public data sets, converting them in a machine-readable and API-accessible format

of the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications, Kamen Spassov • Create an experimental central hub for open data • Import existing public data sets, converting them in a machine-readable and API-accessible format • Create simple applications on top of the APIs • Demo the results and use the public interest to educate about the benefits of open data
own? • Evaluated Socrata, CKAN, DKAN, Junar and others • CKAN seemed very stable and the most widely adopted one • Because of time and resource constraints choose an existing platform for the experiment
the platform was a key metric • Allows us to evaluate the technical quality of the product • Allows us to extend and modify our installation as needed • Provides some level of guarantee against vendor lock-in
the platform was a key metric • Allows us to evaluate the technical quality of the product • Allows us to extend and modify our installation as needed • Provides some level of guarantee against vendor lock-in • Allows us to validate our ideas quickly and in a low-cost manner

• Some plugins (extensions) need to be activated for a sensible feature set, they’re not on by default • Bulgarian translation was only 50% complete, we fixed that

• Some plugins (extensions) need to be activated for a sensible feature set, they’re not on by default • Bulgarian translation was only 50% complete, we fixed that • Documentation seems to be good • Will do the job for our purpose, but we still need time to evaluate it more in actual usage
the data and the data is public • There are practically no security risks in using CKAN officially as a central open data hub • Migration from CKAN to other platforms is possible if needed
the data and the data is public • There are practically no security risks in using CKAN officially as a central open data hub • Migration from CKAN to other platforms is possible if needed • Thus, no risks to use it officially and encourage data to be published there
