OpenBudgets.eu
● The current lack of budget and transaction open data makes it very hard for
citizens and other stakeholders to get an overview on public spending in their
respective administrative region
– heterogenic nature of data formats used by public administrations is a
technical barrier to both data providers and data consumers
● The OpenBudgets.eu project aims to provide a generic framework and concrete
tools for supporting financial transparency
– Scalable
– Easy-to-use
– Flexible
– attractive
