  We're opening up and sharing all open data so people, companies and governments can work together to solve social problems and create new value.

The Department of Open Data opens up valuable data that people and businesses want in a convenient way and makes it easy for everyone to use it.

To make Korea the best country for data, we are establishing a basic plan for open government data, operating the Open Government Data Portal (data.go.kr), a government-wide open data delivery system, and supporting businesses in the use of open government data.

To improve the quality of open data, we are establishing open data standardization and supporting innovation in the entire data value chain, from construction and opening to distribution, analysis and use.

We will also promote data sharing among administrations and public agencies to innovate data-driven working methods, and support the use of data in policy formulation.
