Hangeul Office-Korea Cultural Information Service Public Document 'HWPX' Conversion "Data Opening"

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Hancom announced on the 3rd that it will collaborate with the Korea Cultural Information Service Agency to open public cultural data.

The Korea Cultural Information Service Agency plans to actively participate in the conversion to the open document format 'HWPX' through public-private cooperation with Hancom.

On the 15th of last month, Hancom converted the basic format of 'Hangeul' documents to the open format 'HWPX'. The machine-readable HWPX documents allow data classification and extraction without additional processing. This significantly increases the usability of documents in big data analysis and artificial intelligence (AI) fields.

Through this collaboration, Hancom and the Korea Cultural Information Service Agency plan to convert various public documents in the cultural and artistic fields managed by the agency into the HWPX format to accelerate the spread of private sector utilization.

Hong Heekyung, Director of the Korea Cultural Information Service Agency, stated, "We expect this collaboration to be a good example of public and private cooperation for the opening of public data and the expansion of private sector utilization."

Kim Daegi, Vice President of Hancom, said, "We will do our utmost to ensure that machine-readable open documents spread rapidly," adding, "We plan to actively cooperate with the public sector to establish a foundation for safer and more efficient use of data produced by the public sector."
