Greece relaunches its national open data portal
Greece has relaunched its national open data portal, data.gov.gr
[https://www.data.gov.gr/], following a major redesign. The portal
provides citizens, researchers, businesses and public-sector
professionals with free access to public-sector data.

The redesigned platform includes an advanced search function that
allows users to apply multiple criteria, including geographical
location, to find relevant datasets. According to Greece’s Special
Secretariat for Artificial Intelligence and Data Governance, the
portal is also intended to support policymaking and the development of
artificial intelligence applications by improving access to
high-quality, structured data.

The portal currently provides access to more than 22 000 published
datasets and 86 600 resources from over 510 public-sector bodies, made
available through more than 120 data services. The number of
organisations providing high-value datasets has also increased, with
new contributors including the Hellenic National Meteorological
Service and the Hellenic Cadastre.

The platform is built using CKAN, an open-source data management
system, and uses the European DCAT-AP metadata standard. According to
the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance, these features support
alignment with the European framework for open data, high-value
datasets and data governance.

The redesigned portal includes several new or enhanced features:

	* GEOSPATIAL SEARCH: An embedded map allows users to find geospatial
data and conduct location-based searches, a capability that was not
available on the previous portal.
	* APIS AND BULK DOWNLOADS: Data can be accessed through standardised
application programming interfaces (APIs) and downloaded in formats
including CSV, JSON, XML and XLSX.
	* MANAGEMENT OF OPEN AND PROTECTED DATA: The platform supports the
management of both openly available data and data subject to access
restrictions.
	* CONNECTION TO THE EUROPEAN DATA PORTAL: Automated metadata
harvesting connects the Greek national portal with data.europa.eu and
contributes to the wider European open data ecosystem.

The relaunch forms part of the Greek Ministry of Digital
Governance’s broader work on artificial intelligence and data
governance, coordinated by its Special Secretariat for Artificial
Intelligence and Data Governance. The initiative aims to support
transparency, cooperation between public authorities and
evidence-informed decision-making, while facilitating the reuse of
public-sector data.
