Under Ireland’s Open Data Initiative and as set out in Ireland’s Open Data Strategy 2017-2022 launched on July 14th 2017 following Government approval, public bodies are to identify and publish appropriate datasets on the web as Open Data which can be linked to the national Open Data Portal at data.gov.ie. The Initiative aims to create an environment where, by opening up Government data, new opportunities for research, innovation, transparency, engagement and greater efficiency are delivered and realised by all.
The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, following a procurement process on behalf of the wider Public Service, has commissioned a Multi-Supplier Framework for the Provision of Technical Assistance and Support on the Implementation of Ireland’s Open Data Initiative for Public bodies in Ireland. This includes technical assistance and support for the following aspects of Open Data:
- Open Data Management
- Auditing data
- Data publishing
- Linking data
- Use Case analysis
- Data analytics
- Development of visualisation tools and visualisation applications
