High-value datasets published in Lithuania
Parcels and buildings as well as spatial data from the Address Register have proved a hit with users since the opening of high-value datasets in Lithuania.
Published by the State Enterprise Centre of Registers, the high-value datasets have been opened for re-use and are believed to be of particular importance for the development of value-added services.
“The first datasets were opened by the Centre of Registers five years ago and, in the meantime, data from all the registers and information systems we administer have been opened to the public. With this opening of high-value datasets, we are implementing the objectives set out in the Open Data Strategy of the Centre of Registers and the provisions of the European Union directive, while contributing to the development of digital innovations and advanced services,” says Adrijus Jusas, Director General of the Centre of Registers.
The Centre of Registers opened its first datasets to the public in 2019 attracting nearly 65,000 unique with a total of almost 2.2 million downloads. In 2024, a substantial increase in use was reported with as many downloads as in the period 2019 to 2023.
Currently, everyone can use the data of the Real Property Register, the Register of Legal Entities, the Address Register, the Population Register, the Information System of Legal Entities Participants, the Register of Contracts and Restrictions on Rights, the Information System of Licenses, the Information System of Lists of the Members of Political Parties, and the e-Prescription subsystem free of charge. Data from the Address Register, the Register of Legal Entities and the Real Property Register attract the greatest interest of users.
