Support for the implementation of the OGD Masterplan 2024-2027

The main aim of the OGD Masterplan 2024-2027 is to support the federal administration in implementing Art. 10 of the EMOTA and continue the initiatives of the OGD 2019-2023 strategy.

The publication of open-access data must continue to be encouraged in order to increase transparency, participation and innovation in all areas of life. This measure should enable Switzerland to remain both compatible and competitive at international level when it comes to open public data.

It primarily aims to implement important OGD principles, such as open by default and open by design, to promote collaboration, exchange and networking within the OGD community, so that the full potential of open public data can be exploited within the framework of legal, organisational, technical and semantic requirements. It also aims to create synergies with the field of research and data science.

It will achieve its purpose by developing, improving and sustainably promoting the supply, use and accessibility of open public data (availability); by guaranteeing the quality of data and its description (quality of (meta)data); by strengthening and sustainably developing the metadata catalogue (infrastructure); by creating links between open public data, science and research (synergies); by strengthening skills and developing the network in the field of open public data (exchanges).

The OGD Masterplan 2024-2027 ensures the continuity of the OGD strategy 2019-2023, which is part of the current Digital Switzerland action plan. These measures are also important for the cantons, communes and semi-public companies, which are being encouraged to promote the open publication of public data and to become more involved in this area.
