Open Data General Rules:

  1. When the process to prepare disclosable open data begins, datasets are classified based on how beneficial they are; factors such as accuracy, freshness and consistency and who is likely to benefit from such data are all taken into consideration.

  2. After data is prepared, these are published based on priority and importance on our website, the National Open Data Portal or both and updated regularly; data quality and accuracy are primary considerations for publication.

  3. As a final step, we monitor the performance of open data and their usage frequency and study new requests to rearrange datasets based on demand.
