Gov't to widen private access to public data for mobile applications
By Lee Youkyung SEOUL, March 9 (Yonhap) -- The government said Tuesday that it will take measures to broaden access of public data, in response to the growing demand to use information held at state-run agencies to create mobile or new media services. South Korea will aggregate all public data at an upcoming Web site whose address will be "data.go.kr" and allow users to search and download all publicly available information from there, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said.
The ministry will also gradually remove barriers in Web portals that bar access to data, as well as reviewing related laws and providing incentives to government agencies to encourage data sharing with the public, it added.
