Supporting transparency and innovation: Highlighting Slovenia’s open
data portal
Slovenia’s national open data portal, podatki.gov.si
[https://podatki.gov.si/], serves as the central online platform for
accessing public sector information across the country. Managed by the
Ministry of Public Administration
[https://www.gov.si/en/state-authorities/ministries/ministry-of-public-administration/]
and supported technically by the Ministry for Digital Transformation
[https://www.gov.si/en/state-authorities/ministries/ministry-of-digital-transformation/],
the portal brings together datasets from many Slovenian agencies into
one accessible location. It is designed to help users explore, reuse,
and combine open data for research, applications, visualisations, and
public value projects. 

The portal provides a wide range of functionalities and tools that
make it easy to find and work with datasets. Users can browse more
than 8 000 datasets covering topics such as population, economy,
health, transport, and more. This includes contributions from major
Slovenian institutions such as the Statistical Office of the Republic
of Slovenia
[https://www.gov.si/en/state-authorities/government-offices/statistical-office/],
ministries, municipalities, and specialised agencies. The portal also
offers filtering options by sector, format, organisation type, and
license to help locate relevant sources quickly. 

One of the portal’s distinctive features is its commitment to
openness and interoperability. Built using open-source technology
shared with the UK’s data portal and the European Data Portal, it
acts as a central metadata catalogue and a repository of
machine-readable datasets. Where data is already published elsewhere,
the portal links directly to the external source, ensuring
comprehensive coverage whilst avoiding duplication.  

Users are encouraged to explore the portal to discover datasets,
access APIs, and reuse information for applications, visualisations,
and research projects. Whether supporting civic innovation, informing
policy, or enabling data-driven services, the Slovenian open data
portal offers engaging resources.
