About the open data of the Federal Treasury. Report to the next public council in February 2016

    It so happened that I am a member of various councils and commissions, including public councils and expert councils. They all have different functions and tasks and very different efficiency, but some are quite interesting and relate to open data. Therefore, I want to make a good habit of telling in the public domain in mini-reports what and how is going on at such public councils.



    So, today, for example, a public council was held under the Federal Treasury and I also enter this council. Why do we need community councils? It is assumed that representatives of the company participate in them and on behalf of the company they invite agencies to make changes to their activities, comment on and make proposals to their work plans, and so on. Some departments are not just resisting this, but public councils in them are more formal than practical. And others, on the contrary, are more than substantial.

    For example, this public council met for the 4th time and each time one of the leaders of the FC (Federal Treasury) spoke at the council and talked about what they were doing and what they planned. For example, in June, the deputy head of FC Vasin and Demidov spoke like that and talked about treasury support, and in November Oksana Rud spoke and talked about the GIS GMP system.

    Well, today, December 18, was the head of FC Artyukhin Roman Evgenievich, and he talked in some detail about the single treasury account, the publication of data, treasury support and everything else.

    Of the questions that I personally raised at this meeting:

    • publication of the full list of BSC
    • disclosure of data on subcontracts concluded under treasury support

    In the first case, the FCs are ready to disclose everything and asked to send a well-developed proposal of what and in what form to publish. In the second case, they themselves cannot make such a decision, they can only take into account the position of the public council in conversations with the agencies responsible for state policy in this oblatis - these are the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the Ministry of Finance of Russia.

    Well, and most importantly - it discussed the work plan of the public council for 2016. I made a commitment to make a report and suggestions on what kind of open data FC would like to see in the public domain. This will be at the next meeting, which will be held in February 2016, after about 2 months.

    If you have ideas and suggestions what exactly is needed from FC in the format of open data - write to me, I will include in the final report with a link to you. Write best by mail to ibegtin@infoculture.ru - please only indicate who you are: name, name, organization or project you represent and what exactly you need.

    Here are some important links to help you:


    Also look at their website for what information they publish and can be translated into open data and look at the GIS section of roskazna.ru/gis with a list of their information systems.

    In the comments, I am ready to give answers to questions, I don’t know everything about their internal systems, but I’ll tell you what I know.

    And if it’s interesting, I’m ready to tell you how communications with government agencies are generally arranged in terms of persuading them to open more data.
