The idea of ​​networked open administrative data

Networked open administrative data are those data stocks of the public sector that are made freely accessible by the state and administration in the interest of the general public without any restriction for free use , for further dissemination and for free further use and are networked with one another via the World Wide Web.

Linked open government data

The networking of these databases via the World Wide Web makes it possible to use public sector data across domains and organizational boundaries. In the current representation of the "Linked Open Data Cloud", the already networked open databases of the public sector are visualized in turquoise. This includes, for example, selected databases from Eurostat , NASA (NASA Data Incubator) and many British authorities. As part of his work for the British government, Tim Berners-Lee attaches great importance to the fact that the administration's published databases are networked with one another via the World Wide Web.
