1 Government Budget

Format: CSV

Budgets for years 2010 - 2015 are available. The current budget is published in 3 phases (estimates, changes, actual expenditure) and updated quaterly.

Czech national budget for 2016 has not been approved by the parliament and therefore not published (not even a framework).

The license says, that data can be shared freely and integrated into computer programs or databases and other works. However, it also mentions, that the data can't be edited - I think this is just unfortunate definition, that means that the cannot be used in a misleading way, but I'm not 100% sure about it. The terms of use: http://monitor.statnipokladna.cz/en/2014/data/

Historic machine-readable data is available as a yearly summary for 2012- 2014 but the frequency is insufficient to qualify as bulk download. The license or terms of use of the data is not specified. Current awards are available on the Journal Procurement.

Format: TXT

The data are accessible online via a web browser and downloadable in PDF and TXT format. The acts can be only downloaded separately one at the time.

The licensing is a problem, since there is no license provision available. On one hand, texts of legislation are exempted from the copyright protection by law and are therefore free to be used. On the other hand, the administration is not a creator of consolidated versions of acts, which are later published online. New acts are valid only after they are published in the official Collection, which is official and binding only in the printed paper offline form. When an amendment of an act is enacted, it is a new act which only enumerates changes in the older act. The consolidated versions of acts are in the Czech Republic unofficial and created by private companies. As can be seen from the downloadable PDF files, the consolidated versions of acts for this dataset are provided by a company Wolters Kluwer Česká Republika. There probably are some sui generis database rights of Wolters Kluwer Česká Republika. The legal relationship between the administration and Walters Kluwer when it comes to this issue is not described. The current situation is therefore that anyone can access this unofficial online version of legislation, but this data set probably cannot be harvested due to the database rights.

Borders and some of the rivers and lakes are available freely (RUIAN and DIBAVOD databases), downloadable via public remote access (Veřejný dálkový přístup).

The rest is a part of paid services (ZABAGED).

Data is available for a monthly period, but apparently they are updated more often (probably daily, automatic import from measuring stations). This is valid for all the pollutants except VOCs.

VOCs are published every year (monthly data) for 2 measuring stations http://portal.chmi.cz/files/portal/docs/uoco/isko/tab_roc/2014_enh/pollution_month/month_VOC_CZ.html

Both in HTML.

58 Company Register


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

The National Institute of Public Health publishes a report every year, it's a quite thorough one, but in pdf only. However, there is no information about TDS (all the other chemicals are monitored), therefore I'm marking this dataset as non-existing
