Evaluation of the Schleswig-Holstein Open Data Act (ODaG) for public administrative bodies
The Schleswig-Holstein Open Data Act (Offene-Daten-Gesetz - ODaG) for public administrative bodies came into force on 15 April 2022. The aim of the Act is to 'strengthen the free and unrestricted access of the public to all non-protected digital data'. The Act regulates the conditions for the provision of open data and defines the responsibilities of the lead agency. Section 7 of the ODaG stipulates an obligation to review the effects of the Act with scientific support four years after it comes into force and every four years thereafter. In this context, the National Institute for public Administration Germany was commissioned to prepare parts of the report on the first review of the Act after its entry into force on the basis of scientific standards.
