Data on the Open Data portal can be organised, grouped and searched in a relatively flexible way. The basic criteria characterising data sets are:
- Data provider (source, sharing organisation) and
- Category (group created by the scope of the information, e.g. Transport, Education, City Hall, etc.) and
- Key words (Tags assigned to a collection)li
- Degree of data openness (according to classification 5 Star)li
- Data format (pdf, doc, xls, gml, csv, etc.)li
- How to share (file, API)li
- Frequency of updates
- Date of last update
- The conditions shall be made available to them
All the above attributes can be used as a basis for searching or sorting and grouping. You can also search for information using the full text search engine.
Proper description and categorisation of information can greatly facilitate access to it, especially when there are many data sets on the portal. The way of defining e.g. a data category may be an important element of intuitive use of the Open Data portal.
