|
http://opendata.government.bg/... | CSV | n/a | 90% | |
URL: http://opendata.government.bg/dataset/danni-ot-edinnata-informatsionna-sistema-voda Format: CSV The data is published regularly on the Bulgarian government opendata portal. |

33 | National Statistics |

http://www.nsi.bg/ | Excel, ... | #41 60% | 70% | |
URL: http://www.nsi.bg/ Format: Excel, PDF, HTML GDP in XLS. Unemployment in XLS. Population in XLS. |

20 | Procurement tenders |
|
http://www.aop.bg/ | CSV | n/a | 70% | |
URL: http://www.aop.bg/ Format: CSV All documents are available on the website of the agency. They are in somewhat structured form, but are not machine readable. There's no formal schema or definition. Their own dataset has been extended multiple times, so even internally it's hard to figure out a standartised form and values for the data. A bulk download is avialable via the open data portal of the government. |

8 | Pollutant Emissions |
|
http://pdbase.government.bg/fo... | RDF | #13 70% | 70% | |
URL: http://pdbase.government.bg/forms/public_eprtr.jsp Format: RDF The data is available as part of an online registry. It includes information on the industrial/agricultural installations that emit pollution and the pollution generated from each one. The data is submitted to the EEA and can be downloaded as part of the full RDF dataset: http://prtr.ec.europa.eu/pgDownloadDataSet.aspx QA reviewer: Copyright © 2011 Executive Environment Agency (EEA) |

20 | Election Results |
|
http://www.cik.bg/ | CSV | #22 70% | 70% | |
URL: http://www.cik.bg/ Format: CSV The data is updated almost in real time as the election results are processed. It is not available in bulk, but the information is in easily scrap-able htmls and sometimes available for download as CSV files. The data was considered non-open as, although the Commission is working towards increasing the amount of machine-readable formats and the respect of interoperability, it does not clearly state what the reuse, modification and distribution conditions are (see here: http://results.cik.bg/pi2014/csv.html). |

25 | Government Budget |
|
http://www.minfin.bg/bg/page/4... | Excel | #56 50% | 70% | |
URL: http://www.minfin.bg/bg/page/4 Format: Excel The Budget law is promulgated in the State gazette, so it is in the public domain. The PDF is also published on the Ministry of Finances website (see here for 2015: http://www.minfin.bg/bg/page/851). The consolidated budget framework is published on the Finances ministry website, usually as an Excel generated PDF. The available Excel sheets for 2015 are different amendments but their aim is unclear. Data has been considered unavailable in bulk because each file, be it in machine-readable format or no, has to be downloaded individually. Also, the data has been considered available for free as anyone can access the files and download them from the Ministry's website. Reviewer's note - Although each excel file needs to be downloaded individually,it is all in one webpage, and we consider that as bulk. For the future, it would be better if all the data was in one spreadsheet. |

21 | National Map |
|
http://geonames.cadastre.bg/ | arcgis, ... | #64 15% | 60% | |
URL: http://geonames.cadastre.bg/ Format: arcgis, geojson The data is maintained by the national cadastre. There are several other localized cartography services that add detail. The maps are not available in bulk though. QA review - Data is © 2014 АГКК. Changed from Unsure to No. |

5 | Government Spending |
|
http://opendata.government.bg/... | n/a | #15 10% | 55% | |
URL: http://opendata.government.bg/dataset/plashtaniya-v-sebra-i-drugi-plashtania-v-bnb Bugdet payments and spending reports are available on daily basis. File type is CSV but it is constructed in a non-machine readable way. License is not specified but the data is made available on an open data platform (still does not count). |
|||||||
30 | Legislation |
|
http://parliament.bg/bg/bills | n/a | #25 55% | 55% | |
URL: http://parliament.bg/bg/bills The complete legislation is available mostly via a free web interface to proprietary legal information systems. The State gazette provides pdfs (and some htmls) to the newly promulgated and amended laws and state ordinances. Also, RTF is an available format most of the time. The laws are not subject to copyright in Bulgaria but the website does not carry a clear mention, thus preferrably error by stringency -- the data was considered non-open. |
|||||||
18 | Company Register |
|
http://www.brra.bg/ | XML, WSDL | #26 45% | 50% | |
URL: http://www.brra.bg/ Format: XML, WSDL The company database can be searched online, but queries are restricted to single entities and captcha. Obtaining the full database costs about 50 EUR. There are still some legal aspects of the bulk download (mostly relating to personal data protection) that are still unclear. Therefore the bulk download and subscription for new users is in effect blocked by the personal data protection agency. |

28 | Weather forecast |
|
http://weather.bg/ | n/a | n/a | 45% | |
URL: http://weather.bg/ While the data is avilable though the site, it's as images and maps and not as opendata. 4 days of precipitation and temperature. |

36 | Land Ownership |
|
n/a | n/a | n/a | 20% | |

http://inspire.cadastre.bg/ind... | json | #40 10% | 0% | |
URL: http://inspire.cadastre.bg/index.php Format: json Administrative boundaries on all levels including land parcels are available freely. This includes landmarks like springs, etc. The property level information exists only for about 30% of the country. |
