1. Introduction
1.1 Outline of the task
The main purpose of this document is to provide the initial overview of the data and service infrastructure
ecosystem in Slovakia in connection to the establishment of the Danube Reference Data and Services Infrastructure (DRDSI)1. This aim is to cover activities focused on the description of the overall scene from national
and wider perspectives, including the overview of the organizational setup, relevant data content, influencing
policy framework, supporting initiatives as well as research and development environment and, last but not
least, stakeholder engagement organisations and networks.
1.2 Outline of the document
In order to address the main goal of the DRDSI to “unlock”, and possibly harmonize data with relevance for
the macro-regional development of the Danube region, this document aims to provide a brief introduction to
the Danube strategy and role of the DRDSI. In connection to this, the document aims to provide the most upto-date state-of-play in the Slovak Republic, taking into consideration specific aspects of the national context
and ongoing societal and technological changes.
Information for this document was collected based on publicly available information and resources, individual
email exchange and interviews, as well as via results from a public consultation.
The activity described within this document aims to depict the state-of-play of the national data infrastructure
in Slovakia with respect to the (DRDSI) including:
 List of the key data providers, policy-making organisations, research organisations and organisations,
who can aid stakeholders engagement working within a country, in a cross-border context, or at the
regional level;
 The current legal context and funding of initiatives aiming at building a national data infrastructure;
 A list of completed and current projects (either for data production or providing tools to support data
sharing).
1.3 Context of the country and the main players
1.3.1
Wider context
In terms of the current structure of the country, Slovakia emerged in 1993 after dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
After 11 years, in May 2004, the Slovak Republic joined European Union. From 2010, Slovakia actively joined
the preparatory phase of the Danube strategy framework. The European Union Strategy for Danube Region
(Danube strategy / EUSDR) is a macro-regional strategy2, contributing to the development and strengthening
of the Danube region. The national contact point for Danube Strategy in Slovakia is the Government Office of
the Slovak Republic3. In the context of the 11 priority areas of the Danube Region Strategy4, Slovakia is coordinating the following priority areas (PAs):
 PA 04 | Water Quality: "To restore and maintain the quality of waters" together with Hungary;
 PA 07 | Knowledge Society: "To develop the Knowledge Society (research, education and Information
and communication technologies (ICT))" jointly with Serbia.

In 2013, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) expressed scientific support to the
Danube Strategy. The main motivation was driven by the effort to bridge the problematic gaps between data
and their relevant utilisation and interpretation for decision-making processes. In order to meet this goal, JRC
has focused on the main natural resource areas of water, soil, air and bioenergy and established four thematic
flagship clusters:




Danube Water Nexus (DWN)
Danube Land and Soil Nexus (DLSN)
Danube Air Nexus (DAN)
Danube Bio-energy Nexus (DBN)
and 3 horizontal activities:



Danube Reference Data and Service Infrastructure (DRDSI)
Smart Specialisation in the Danube Region
Danube Innovation Partnership (DIP)
To support the above mentioned clusters and activities, Slovakia is providing support with relevant information
and knowledge (e.g. Air nexus5, DRDSI activity6).
DRDSI is also the project and the framework aiming to cover the objectives delineated with this report. Considering its main goal to ‘unlock’, and possibly harmonise data which are relevant for the macro-regional
development of the Danube region, the DRDSI is of particular interested in the Slovakian data and service
infrastructure.
The DRDSI as an initiative is addressing the support of the Danube Strategy by supporting access to, and
exchange of, harmonised data and services with described level of quality within four vertical priorities of the
'Scientific Support to the Danube Strategy’ encompassing data related to each priority:
 Environment protection (e.g. data on landscape and biodiversity, flood and droughts risks)
 Navigability (e.g. data on river morphology and flood risks)
 Irrigation and agricultural development (e.g. data on soils and crops)
 Energy production (e.g. data on available energy resources and energy potential)
1.3.2
Slovakian data and service infrastructure in a nutshell
As in many other EU countries there are various aspects influencing the collection, processing, distribution
and further reuse of digital content and related functionality in Slovakia. There are various players and initiatives driving the Slovakian digital ecosystem, which are often significantly interlinked:
Players:
Initiatives:
 Public sector
 Policy drivers
 Private sector
 eGovernment
 Academic, Research and Development sector
 INSPIRE
 Professional associations
 Public Sector Information (PSI)
 Third sector (Non governmental organizations (NGO))
 Open Government Partnership
 Citizens
(OGP) including OpenData
 Technological drivers
 Standardisation
 Semantic technologies (Linked
Data)
Further details about these and related players and initiatives are provided within the following chapters.

2. Data providers
The DRDSI, like any other infrastructures, relies on two important aspects: content and those creating and
providing this content for use and further re-use. The following table provides list of the data providers and
typical data relevant to the DRDSI objectives. This list provides an indicative picture and is not exhaustive. In
cases, where complex organisational structures are in place (mainly public sector bodies) the top hierarchical
body is reported in order to provide an initial overview. Based on this list, a more detailed data inventory will
take place in the near future.

The majority of data/details that are potentially relevant to the DRDSI come from the public sector domain,
followed by the Academic, Research and Development sector and then the private sector. Except in a few
cases, where NGOs can possibly contribute, third sector contributions are likely to be of limited potential. From
the content point of view, among the most populated domains belong to the environment and irrigation/ agricultural development topics. Data resources can be seen to be in highly heterogeneous structures and in many

cases with very limited detailed documentation, often with unclear licensing conditions. Such issues are likely
to impact on the readiness of organisations to share data or offer ready access to existing online data resources.
Initiatives like INSPIRE100, Open Data101 have, however, recently stimulated more open and transparent publication of data. At the same time, there are still difficulties to exchange digital data among public bodies and
with both private sector actors and citizens.
INSPIRE
INSPIRE is influencing the subdomain of spatial data and related infrastructures. The underlying legal framework and stakeholders’ involvement and coordination mechanisms are helping data to become documented
with standardised metadata102, harmonised via interoperable data specifications and published through network services under the licensing conditions for sharing. In order to provide a central access point to the
national spatial data infrastructure the Slovak National Geoportal has been made created, although data providers can also establish their own (domain/application specific) geoportals.
Figure 2: SK National Geoportal
To support coordination processes and provide the related information, a national INSPIRE website103 has
been established. The website also provides access to the List of Liable Entities 104 foreseen to be the bodies
responsible for the content under the scope of the INSPIRE themes. Some of these entities are likely to be
organisations who could potentially contribute metadata/data to the DRDSI.

OpenData
The initial impact of the Open Data movement in Slovakia can be seen from the signing of a participation
agreement in the Open Government Partnership (OGP) in September 2011. The OGP action plan in Slovakia
is a legally binding document. After initial changes in the governance of the OGP, the Ministry of the Interior
of the Slovak Republic is currently the leading, implementing and coordinating body for the OGP activities
in Slovakia. Although commitments are owned by a variety of agencies, the biggest successes are in the area
of Open Data105. In cooperation with the Government Office of the Slovak Republic, the Open Government
Initiative dedicated website has been established to provide a central point for related information106.
Figure 4: Website for Open Government Partnership in Slovakia
Initial interaction with public sector bodies took place during the period 2012-2013 with the collection of
baseline inventory of open data, which were collected by the new Open Data Portal (Portál Otvorených
Dát)107. Based on Global Open Data Index 2014 108 Slovakia is in 64th position out of 184 countries.

Figure 5: Open Data Portal in Slovakia
Except for some individual cases, further work will be needed for the identification, willingness and readiness
of organisations to provide and use data made available via the DRDSI. From a technical point of view, the
majority of the players, however, should be ready to share their content. Among the most absent, or difficult to
access datasets were identified as cadastral parcels, general reference data, flood areas, landslides, environmental burdens, air quality, soils, addresses, elevation, orthoimagery, buildings, land use, human health and
safety, meteorological and energy related data. The possibility to include records, such as statistics, from the
Slovak open data portal could be explored further.

Policy-making organisations
The legal framework is significantly influencing the environment where data and infrastructures can be established and successfully operated. Slovakia's highest legislative body is the 150-seat unicameral National Council of the Slovak Republic (Národná rada Slovenskej republiky). The following table provides an overview of
the main policy making players, including an indication of the policy areas they are involved in and related
projects.

Whole legislation framework
Although most of the DRDSI-related priorities are delineated in the existing legislative framework in Slovakia,
there are some specific aspects that deserve attention. In many cases, topics to be addressed are fragmented
among various pieces of the legislation. In some areas (such as water) there are plans to consolidate and
revise existing regulations. It would seem that in some cases legislation is following the outcomes of large ICT
projects, rather than policy leading technical developments. Although there were some efforts to introduce
“Participatory Policy Making” processes via the OGP initiative, the initial outcomes are somewhat questionable
in terms of developing good collaboration between stakeholders. This is unfortunate as such an activity could
help to readily promote, for example, the DRDSI. On the other hand, some examples in legislation have provided very successful technical and technology-led developments (Law no. 431/2002 Coll. Accounting and
Register of financial statements 116, or Regulation no. 211/2000 Coll., Law on free access to information and
the From Our taxes web app117). The legislative framework is also important from the data licencing point of
view, creating an environment where simple and transparent licencing frameworks can be established. Already, there are a few initiatives heading towards this ambition. The first one is driven by the requirements of
the INSPIRE and PSI Directives in the area of spatial data and services under the Ministry of the Environment
of the Slovak Republic 118. The second one is under Creative Commons Slovakia, where latest version of
Creative Commons licences (Version 4.0) was recently translated. A final activity worth noting is related to the
cultural heritage under the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, where data in this context may be more
readily available in the future.

Support for the national data infrastructure
Systematic development and further support in the area of a national data infrastructure is mainly driven by
the three initiatives described in the following table, together with key legislation and related funding.

Each of the above mentioned main infrastructure frameworks is at different stages of development, including
in terms of providing certain types of dataset and service, although there is still significant effort needed to
have them fully operational. The overall policy framework supporting data provision for the DRDSI is in place,
although still some activities are to be undertaken in the near future (such as the transposition of the new PSI
Directive). This context helps to highlight the potential issues that would support an approach to have data
producers sharing their data within the DRDSI.

Research organisations
As indicated in the Table1, Slovak research organisations represent significant potential for the DRDSI’s development. The main responsible authority for research and development in Slovakia is the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic. The following table provides information about the
main organisations involved in the research and development (R&D) activities with relevance to the DRDSI.

Despite the relatively high growth of the Slovak economy, research and development (R&D) and innovation
lags behind the European average. The reason is not only lower than average funding of R&D processes, but
still a strong focus on basic research, the relative isolation of Slovak Research and relatively low impact on the
innovative capacity of the Slovak economy (SK R&D report 2012) 143.
From the DRDSI perspective, there are already examples of projects and cooperation activities in the Danube
region. In addition, other players and activities with potential impact on the DRDSI have been identified. The
majority of the R&D activities are undertaken by public research bodies, whilst a slow uptake by private sector
actors to support the development of research and innovation activities can be found. From the data content
point of view, many R&D organisations are creating and maintaining highly relevant data and services. Further
details about their accessibility will have to be closely examined should the DRDSI aim to include such data
as content in the platform.

Stakeholder engagement organisations and networks
In addition to the previously mentioned players, there is another society segment with a specific role in the
data infrastructure, particularly linked to coordination, networking and social validation aspects. The following
table provides an overview about such stakeholders, including their scope and area of activity.

The majority of the stakeholder engagement organisations and networks identified with potential for the DRDSI
objectives are operating at the national level. There are also some projects and associations with the potential
to stimulate various networks and communities. From the domain point of view, the strongest representation
comes from the GeoICT sector accompanied by the environment and regional/local government related organisations and activities. Last but not least, some players can be represented by the various initiatives that
focus on supporting innovative activities and start-up companies, acting as important incubators for interesting
22
projects, business ideas and use cases. An important role is also played by standardization activities aiming
to deliver national and cross-domain ICT standards mainly in the area of eGovernment and Linked/Open Data.
From the initial input received, the main expectations from the DRDSI are the possibility to access useful and
attractive data and the expectation to communicate the goals, progress and outcomes of the DRDSI for the
wider public.
23
7. Conclusions
The investigations collected with this report should serve as starting point for further activities focused on
supporting the Slovakian contribution to the DRDSI, as well as for shaping and ensuring relevant benefits come
from having this platform for both Slovakian stakeholders and the whole Danube region. These activities should
include the creation of a data inventory, the assessment of data access conditions and a series of related
outreach efforts to help raise awareness and promote the DRDSI. In addition, activities related to identification
of the gaps in important data resources and pilots can demonstrate the value of the DRDSI and further support
of organisational engagement from different sectors.
From the situation depicted in this report, Slovakia comes with high potential to effectively participate in the
shaping, implementation and reuse of the DRDSI. At the same time, it is important to point out some challenges, deserving relevant attention:
 The involvement of the stakeholders is difficult to stimulate based on the currently high/abstract level of
DRDSI benefits;
 Stakeholders were often indicated their limited infrastructure, capacities and resources to be committed
for specific DRDSI activities;
 There are heterogeneous data and licensing policies impacting on ready data-sharing;
 There is insufficient information and awareness about existing data resources and their quality
With this in mind, further steps and actions will have to be jointly done to ensure the DRDSI can meet its
potential via the engagement of stakeholders. These stakeholders from EU to local level will need to be motivated to contribute metadata, data and infrastructure assets. More emphasis should be placed on the cocreation of a shared knowledge base that can help to prove the meaning and justification of the effort to be
invested.
