Open Data in Ukraine
Ukraine noticeably improved its Open Data position when looking at the
Global Open Data Index [http://index.okfn.org/]. For the first time
since the measurement started in 2013, the country is now among the 50
most open nations, ranked 31st. One of the tangible improvements is
found on the national Open Data portal data.gov.ua
[http://data.gov.ua/]. The portal now offers over 30,000 datasets.
Moreover, the country released the registration data of Ukrainian
companies and court register data, via its Opendatabot service
[https://opendatabot.com/en].

Based on the considerable progress from last year, the question
arises: what will the upcoming years bring? As part of Ukraine's
national Action Plan, a focus on data quality can be expected.
According to the KyivPost
[https://www.kyivpost.com/business/open-government-data-ukraine-available-untapped.html],
assisting users to effectively work with data is necessary to fully
unleash the Open Data potential. The precise magnitude of the economic
potential of Open Data is currently being studied by the Kyiv School
of Economics and will be published early 2018.
