Data training and consulting
Open government data
We build the strategy for opening the data a public institution holds to the private sector and other agencies, construct the REST and SOAP based Open API platform, and embed data-driven public administration.
What does opening government data involve?
Opening government data means building the strategy that lets the private sector and other agencies use the data a public institution holds, constructing an Open API platform on REST and SOAP, and embedding data-driven public administration. We deliver both the consulting and the build.
Strategy grounded in the law
We establish exactly what the Public Data Act and your institution's disclosure obligations require, so the open data strategy carries no legal risk.
Open API platform build
APIs are designed and built to REST/SOAP and JSON/XML specifications and connected to the shared authentication, statistics, and monitoring modules.
Operations assessment support
From Public Data Portal registration through to meeting every assessment indicator, we support the full assessment cycle.
What you'll learn
The core material this course covers.
- The Public Data Act and disclosure obligations by institution type
- Managing the public data inventory and standardizing datasets
- Designing and building Open APIs (REST/SOAP, JSON/XML)
- Registering and operating on the Public Data Portal (data.go.kr)
- Preparing for the public data operations assessment
- Sharing data between institutions and linking it to policy
Curriculum
What we cover
- 1
Stage 1: Current state and requirements analysis
Inventory the datasets you hold and analyze private-sector demand. Identify what the law obliges you to open and settle the priority list.
- 2
Stage 2: Target model
Set the disclosure priorities and look for opportunities to combine datasets. Decide the format for each one: file, API, or linked data.
- 3
Stage 3: Implementation strategy
Design the REST and SOAP API specifications and define how they connect to the shared authentication, statistics, and monitoring modules. Plan the Public Data Portal registration.
- 4
Stage 4: Driving usage
Operate and monitor the Open APIs and find private-sector use cases. Check performance against the operations assessment indicators and prepare the assessment report.
How teams put this to use
Open data and data-driven activation consulting for the National Institute of Ecology
Standardizing ecological datasets and setting an Open API strategy opened the data to private research and services.
Open data and data-driven administration consulting for the Ministry of Economy and Finance
A plan for sharing data and supporting policy decisions strengthened evidence-based administration.
Institutional standards for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport
Systematizing standard words and terms for land and transport data created the basis for linking data across ministries.
Expected outcomes
What changes once your team puts this to work on site.
- Higher-quality datasets on the portal get used by private services and startups.
- A better operations assessment score improves the institution's policy ranking.
- Data-driven administration spreads evidence-based decision-making.
- Sharing data between institutions cuts the cost of collecting the same thing twice.
Open government data — FAQ
Yes. During the current state analysis we establish your in-house IT capability first, then propose either dedicated technical support or a phased roadmap depending on how complex the build is. We design the integration with your existing systems at the same time.
We support the whole process: dataset standardization, metadata authoring, and preparing the registration documents. We also walk your team through post-registration monitoring so they can run it themselves.
Yes. We also run short engagements aligned to the assessment schedule, covering a pre-assessment review and the remediation work. We check your status against each indicator and identify the priority fixes so preparation is systematic.
