  2. PSI introduction • Public sector information –an infinite and not fully explored universe • Digitalization has made it big and available for public • Directive 2008/98/EC • Lisbon Strategy • Beneficiaries: private sector, public sector, research, society

  3. PSI re-use in CzechRepublic • Directive implemented „as if“ in FOIA in 2006 (having existed since 1999) • problems with transparency, availability, metadata, quality, proficiency of clerks • bottom-up approach (www.czechpsi.info) • according to many complaints – FOIA analysis, upcoming amendment • RESEARCH NEEDED

  4. Researchthrougheducation • PSI is not common research topic in CR • Lack of awareness among „old school teachers“ • Affilation unclear (some in Brno – lawyers, economists, geographers) – no holistic approach Information science, PhD thesis (enforced), PSI colloquium

  5. PSI colloquium (seminar) • first PSI university seminar in CR ever – summer semester, Charles University, Faculty of Philosophy and Arts, Institute of Information Science • 15 students subscribed • Main task – to get complete catalogue of all electronic data from selected public institution • FOIA request

  6. FOIARequest • „I request complete thematically structured catalogue of all electronic data (databases, parts of databases, documents - PDF, DOC, TXT, XLS, JPG, PPT, DBF etc. - all formats, audio records, video records, geographical layers..) available as per (date of request), together with terms of their OFFLINE provision (price, licences, data format, accuracy, actuality). Catalogue is requested in Microsoft Excel format).“

  7. PSI colloquiumresults • each public institution answered in different way • from „we are not in duty to provide such a catalogue“ through „I do not understand at all what you want“ to „here is the list“ or „the catalogue would cost 1000 EUR as we don’t use Data management“ • several hundred obliged public institutions – a LOT of research

  8. PSI colloquiumresults • results will be used as a basement for negotiation with Ministry of Interior to amend FOIA with a new article: • „Each institution is obliged to have a catalogue of all electronic data with relevant metadata and conditions of re-use“ • Model:Czech Statistical Office
