Register of rights, data authorizations and obligations
If the IT world of public administration and the world of law live independently of each other, the digital transformation of public administration will not work. So far, there has not been enough effort to bring the two worlds together properly. The Data Rights and Obligations Register is the first activity of MIRDI to bring together the world of public administration information technology and the world of law to create a trusted and transparent resource on the legal data management of individual public administrations, which will help the IT sector to manage the data landscape in the future.
The state is working on a register of rights, data permissions and obligations that is meant to clearly connect the world of law with the world of information technology. The goal is to know what data exist in public administration, who can access them, and on what legal basis. The project builds on a new metainformation system and is inspired by practice in the Czech Republic. Public administration owns a large amount of data, but many are not sufficiently consolidated or documented. There is no unified overview of where the data are located, what properties they have, and who is allowed to use them. That is why a way is being sought to systematically link the data layer with the legal layer and obtain a clear, reliable picture of the entire data ecosystem. The ambition is not to invent everything from scratch, but to improve what already works. The inspiration is the Czech register of rights and obligations, although the Slovak solution will not be its copy. The important parallel is to have a central, trustworthy source that names the data as well as the conditions for their use.Why a new register
