Making public data easier to find: Discover Hungary’s national data
portal
Public organisations collect information about many aspects of
everyday life, but finding the right source can take time.
Hungary’s National Open Data Portal
[https://kozadatportal.hu/en/about], operated by the National Data
Asset Agency, provides a central starting point for discovering public
data. It brings together descriptions of resources held by different
organisations and information about how those resources can be reused.

Users can browse the dataset catalogue
[https://kozadatportal.hu/en/dataset/] and narrow their search by
publishing organisation, topic, time period, format or licence.
Dataset records provide information about the publisher and links to
available resources. For example, the catalogue includes the Budapest
transport timetable database
[https://kozadatportal.hu/en/dataset/bkk-tervezett-menetrendi-adatbazisa],
described as a daily-updated resource in a standard format used for
public transport schedules. The portal also provides access to
statistical resources and guidance on data reuse.

Open data is easier to use when people can find its source and
understand the conditions attached to it. Bringing dataset
descriptions together helps researchers, businesses, public
authorities and interested citizens identify information relevant to
their questions. Details about coverage, formats and licences also
help users judge whether a resource suits their intended use. National
catalogues therefore provide an important starting point for turning
public information into research, services and a clearer understanding
of everyday life.
