Limerick City and County Council’s Open Data Portal is live! – OGP Framework in Action!

Last year we announced the beginning of the engagement between Limerick City & County Council (LCCC) and Derilinx. The engagement included the delivery of a Data Inventory Assessment (previously known as Data Audit) and the development of an Open Data Portal – all through the OGP Technical Services Framework for Open Data and Data Management. Now those projects are finished and KCC’s Open Data Portal is up and running at datacatalog.limerick.ie.

LCCC has established a clear vision to become a data-centric organisation, leveraging the power of data to drive more informed decision-making, enhance services, and fuel innovation.

Earlier this year we developed LCCC’s Open Data Portal (datacatalog.limerick.ie). This portal is built on datAdore, Derilinx Data Sharing Platform, and it can be used both as an Open Data Portal and Data Sharing platform.

By having their own datAdore instance, LCCC is ensured:

• Increased visibility of data sources
• Wider utilisation of data
• Consistent description of data
• Improved Data Governance
• Better compliance with regulation
• More efficient data processes

Datasets are classified using tags, with access to the most popular ones directly from the home page.

We are delighted to see more and more organisations leveraging the OGP Framework to progress on their open data journey, especially building their own data portal (internal or open) to have more control over their data, more flexibility, and to tell their own story to the users.

You can find all public projects coming from the OGP Framework here.
