Details

The data is available via a register - you can browse one company at a time and then download each listing as pdf. It is not possible to view company data unless a search term is inputted.

Last year, there was an option to download machine readable data (XML) but last update is more than a year old. 2015 data are therefore available only via the search interface.

Also, the licence restricts commercial use https://or.justice.cz/ias/ui/download/licence_pro_pouzivani_zverejnenych_dat.pdf

Reviewer comments

It is not possible to browse through the database or access data without providing a search term, therefore the registry does not qualify for most of the criteria.
