http://www.sviva.gov.il/PRTRIsrael/Pages/default.aspx

No explicit license is indicated, thus data is considered non-open.

The data is also available graphically in

• http://bit.ly/mofbudget (Government Site)
• http://www.obudget.org (3rd party)

Data is only available for 4 days and not 5 for 15 cities in Israel. There is also an Historical dataset on the government open data portal, the data there can be produce in a XLS.

There are also plans to publish all protocols, legislation proposals (including amendments), and protocols of Knesset Committees.

Data about progress of these can be found (in Hebrew only), in this link:

The Data is available but need a consent from the office for being use in other projects. It is replacing an old and disfunctional national map site. It is not clear when and how often it is being updated.

There are some layers which are clearly up-to-date (e.g. bus stations, lanes, routes), while others are clearly not - and there is no metadata to differentiate or even indicate which layer is up to date or not.

Moreover, the only export option available of the data is to export PNG (=image) files, and no textual/geospatial data is available for download.

http://www.ag.mof.gov.il/AccountantGeneral/BudgetExecution/BudgetExecutionTopNavEng indicates that the data exists and is digital but transactional data is not published.

Despite the official description, only basic data is available for for free, and obtaining it requires inputting a search with a minimum of 3 characters. Advanced details about a corporation (e.g. debt status, insolvency) require identification and payment.

• Tender RFPs are published but not the awards or the chosen supplier.
• Procurements that get exemption from using a tender (e.g. single supplier contracts etc) are published in a dedicated government website (but not in machine readable form). These kind of procurements make 80% of the total number of procurements.
• Other data (including actual amount executed and small-valued procurements) is not available online but only through FOIA requests. Some work is done in the government level to release a quarterly report of these records, but it remains to be seen if this gets implemented.
