Abstract:
This paper is focused on issue of re-use of Public Sector Information (PSI) for value-added products and services. It is based on the principle that information produced by public sector is a source of immense wealth for next processing and advanced value-added services creating. This information is a “raw material” for development of new branches of digital economy. There was found by comparison of different EU member states that many barriers for PSI re-use exist. These obstacles obstruct the efficient development of information content industry. That is why European Commission adopted the Directive 98/2003/EC on the Re-use of Public Sector Information that defined basic rules for handling of this kind of information in all member states. The paper analyses the state-of-the-art in the Czech Republic, describes the Freedom of Information Act which the Directive was transposed in. It goes from a premise that the most of companies regardless of field of their business need PSI in specific situation. What are possibilities for its gaining? Do clear rules exist for its re-use? What are requirements of commercial re-users on PSI quality? Is it possible to remove barriers that persist on our market?
