In the Netherlands a first step is made with open data of municipalities to better understand the functioning of local democracy. With releasing meetings, agenda\u2019s and other documents of local municipalities as open data, a number of\u00a0Dutch municipal councils make re-use of this data possible.<\/p>\n

In the documents of local councils you can find a wealth of information. Online information from municipal councils, however, are hard to find, analyse and re-use. <\/p>\n

Citizens, councillors, journalists and others who want to follow local politics need more accessible and easily usable applications. They should be better served by open council information.<\/p>\n

In a pilot<\/a> Open State Foundation released the first decision making data of Dutch municipalities\u00a0as open data. The data of six municipalities can now be re-used.\u00a0By releasing this information as open data, governments strengthen the information position of council members, citizens, advocacy groups and journalists.<\/p>\n

With Open Municipal Information developers can make innovative apps that strengthens local democracy.<\/p>\n

Open Municipal Information can be found with the search engine<\/a>. On Github<\/a> and with the API-docs<\/a>\u00a0you can learn to work with the data. The Open State Foundation works on enhancing the Open Munipal Information and adding extra governments to the API.<\/p>\n
