Helsinki Region Infoshare Website Launched
Helsinki, 10 October 2010,
The Helsinki Region Infoshare project now has its own website, Forum Virium announced. It describes the project, its goals, project updates and development. The website also provides information, news and examples around open government data.
The goals of the Helsinki Region Infoshare project are:
- To develop an extensive network consisting of all those in the Helsinki region who are in possession of basic information pools and materials. The members of the network produce, maintain, share and develop the data pools in cooperation, following common guidelines.
- To open up the data pools of the network for everyone. The data in the pools will also be ready to be further processed or utilised in IT applications. Data is available free of charge and in an easily usable form.
- To build a web service through which the data can be easily found, downloaded and utilised. The web service is also used to encourage the producers and users of the data to cooperate more closely.
- To pilot an open data activity model and its implications to both the producers and end users of the data. To learn by doing and sharing the learned lessons, too.
The website provides information not just in Finnish, but also in Swedish and English. See the English language version of Helsinki Region Infoshare.
