The creation of open data portalsstimulates and facilitates the re-use of public sector information,because the potential re-users aremade aware of all the informationavailableforthere-useandcaneas-ilyaccesssuchinformation,avoidingsometimes complicated and long-lastingbureaucraticprocedures.
The number of states, regions andcities thathavealreadyestablishedopendataportals is risingmonthly.It is popular to have an open dataportal!!
TheEUaimstoincreasethere-useofpublicsectorinformationwithle-gislative revisions so as to providethemarketandcompanieswithanoptimal legal framework to makebetteruseoftheirrightsandtoope-rateonthemarket.
In preparation for a revision of theDirectiveonthere-useofpublicsec-tor information, the European Co-mmission also financed the LAPSIproject,4 which was dedicated toanalysing this topic and to createincentives for “opening up” data,heldbypublicsector.TheSlovenianInformation Commissioner activelyparticipated in the project since itwaslaunchedin2010.
FromDataPortalstoRe-Use of Data
Inthecourseoftheirwork,regulatedbydifferent laws, public sectorbod-iescollectandproduceawiderangeof information. These are calledpublic sector information. With theadvances in technologyandthede-velopmentoftheInternet,“ordinary”citizenshavegainedtheopportunityto analyze, modify and re-use thisinformation,andthuscreatingsome-thing entirely new– a newproduct,aserviceetc..Onecan, forexample,obtain meteorological data, createdbyastateauthority,andusethemtocreate a program or an applicationformobilephonesthatinformsusersre-gularlyonweatherforecastsintheareawheretheyarelocated.Ifthede-velopersellssuchaprogram,hecaneven earn somemoney. This is thereasonwhythevalueofpublicinfor-mation increased considerably overthelastyears.Theestimatedvalueofthemarketforpublicsectorinforma-tionintheEUin2008was28billionEuro,andthetotalannualeconomicgainsfromre-useofpublicsectorin-
formationinthewholeEUeconomyaround140billionEuro.
With all this said, however, not onlyeconomic benefits are importantconsequencesofthere-useofpublicsectorinformation.Modifiedanden-richeddataalsobecomemoreavail-ableandevenmoreunderstandablefor average citizens; this helps tospread theknowledgeand increasetheaccessibilityofinformation.
In2003,theEUadoptedadirective,whichgoverns thefieldof re-useofpublic sector information.

Asitcanbeseenfrommanyexam-plespresentedinthisbrochure,pub-lic sector information may be usedformanydifferentpurposes.Theuseofpublicsector informationis,sotospeak, limited only by the imagina-tion of individuals.
