[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Going forward, a certification system will be introduced for public data quality excellence institutions, strengthening the foundation for providing and utilizing high-quality data.

In this regard, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 27th that it will hold the '2022 Public Data Quality Management Excellence Institution Certification Award Ceremony' tomorrow at the auditorium of the National Palace Museum annex, awarding certificates to 16 institutions selected as public data quality management excellence institutions.

The institution-level public data quality certification, implemented for the first time this year, was promoted by expanding the evaluation fields based on the 'Public Data Quality Management Level Assessment' that has been conducted since 2016.

As a result of the evaluation, 6 institutions received the highest grade, 10 institutions received the excellence grade, and a total of 16 institutions were selected and awarded certification as public data quality management excellence institutions.

Through the introduction of certification, it is expected that the data of institutions that have acquired certification by applying an optimized quality management evaluation system for administrative and public institutions' data will be recognized as data that anyone can trust and utilize.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to institutionalize public data quality certification by amending the 'Act on the Provision and Activation of Public Data,' analyze and supplement the results of this certification evaluation, and officially implement the 'Public Data Quality Certification System' starting next year.

Lee Yong-seok, Director of Public Data Policy at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, stated, “Public data quality certification aims to establish a higher level of data quality management system so that high-quality data can be provided to the public and businesses,” and added, “We will continue to promote various policies including quality certification so that all citizens and businesses can trust and freely use public data.”
