B02;Even if there is no OGD strategy, there are guidelines, best practices, recommendations etc. on the topic of OGD provided by NGOs, academia – adapted and updated for the country.;;;
B03;The legislative environment of OGD is affected by the Open Government Partnership membership and related action plans.;;;

B07;An open data portal for non-government data from business, culture, NGOs, and/or research is part of the open data ecosystem.;;;
B08;There co-exist many local catalogs at the regional and local levels, open data portals of ministries, and other public sector organizations.;;;
B09;With the launch of the national open data portal, some of the unofficial, regional, or local portals disappeared.;;;
B10;With the launch of the national open data portal, some of the unofficial, regional, or local portals have been merged into the national portal but are still online.;;;
B11;Before the launch of the official national open data portal, there were decentralized public sector agencies and institutions’ websites / portals with sections / tabs devoted to the publication of open data. ;;;
B12;Currently, there is one portal in the country that is centralized and includes datasets of national, as well as regional and local levels. This is the only portal and the country doesn’t have a local or regional portal.;;;
B13;Currently, there is only one portal in the country, which is centralized and includes datasets of national, as well as regional and local levels. It also has local or regional portals, where these data are also available.;;;
B14;The national open data portal is less than 10 years old (but 5 or more years).;;;
B15;The national open data portal is less than 5 years old.;;;
B16;The national open data portal was developed / launched as a part of an EU funded project. ;;;
B17;The National Statistical Office offers a range of official statistics (datasets), following the Open Data principles, on its website / portal, and is usually an important element of the open data ecosystem.;;;
B18;The national open data portal is more than 10 years old. ;;;
C01;There are co-creation and collaborative approaches / channels to capture the needs, expectations and recommendations of users that influence the further development of the OGD initiative.;;;
C02;There are no national reports that assess / evaluate the development of open data efforts in the country or benchmark the country with other countries. Instead, these countries rely on and plan their open data strategies based on existing open data reports, usually ODMRs.;;;
C03;There are no national reports that assess / evaluate the development of open data efforts in the country or benchmark the country with other countries. No open data reports are considered.;;;
C04;There are one or more national reports on the assessment / evaluation of a country’s digital public services, digital projects, or e-government services and the topic of open data evaluation is included in the report as one of its sections.;;;
C05;There is a series of national reports evaluating / reflecting on a country’s open data efforts, usually published annually by government bodies or NGOs for the government to help plan open data projects and strategies. ;;;
C06;There is a series of reports on the evaluation of digital public services, digital projects, or e-government services of several countries or a region (e.g., German-speaking countries, Nordic countries), which is usually published annually, and the topic of open data is included in the report.;;;
C07;Active government engagement with the open data community.;;;
C08;Not all datasets can be previewed, e.g. in a tabular form.;;;
C09;Showcases / use-cases / re-uses / stories are not provided on the portal.;;;
C10;Showcases/ use-cases / re-uses / stories are provided and can be uploaded by the data user.;;;
C11;Showcases/ use-cases / re-uses / stories are provided on the portal WITH the link between these showcases and the data, i.e. it is not possible to identify which datasets and how were used within this showcase ⇒ the value of the data can be determined and inspire others.;;;
C12;Showcases/ use-cases / re-uses / stories are provided on the portal, however there is no link between these showcases and the data, i.e. it is not possible to identify which datasets and how were used within this showcase ⇒ the value of the data cannot be determined and inspire others.;;;
C13;Stakeholder feedback is not collected (not about data, data quality, portal functionality, expectations, reuse etc.) and suggestions from enthusiasts are often ignored (probably due to limited resources needed to make changes).;;;
C14;Stakeholders – business and citizens are often either unaware of the existence of an OGD (portal), or unaware of or critical of the benefits of an OGD closed ecosystem. ;;;
C15;The datasets are accompanied with the metadata, described, and updated regularly, but the level of openness of the datasets is low (i.e., 1 to 3 stars according to a 5-star scheme).;;;
C16;The government agencies are unaware of showcases/ use-cases / re-uses / stories of their data.;;;
C17;The government agencies are unaware of showcases/ use-cases / re-uses of their data and do not make attempts to gather these data.;;;

C19;The government’s early commitment to launch an open data portal. ;;;
C20;The national open data portal provides support and guidelines for data reuse, but monitoring and ensuring the use of open data is often beyond the personnel and financial capacities of the country as well as regions, cities, and municipalities.;;;
C21;The national portal, which previously served as a simple catalog of metadata records, has expanded its role to include interactive information (such as showcases / re-uses / use-cases, data visualization or transformation, storytelling, feedback loop, incl. forums) and education (such as training materials, webinars or seminars, hackathons). ;;;
C22;The open data strategy that considers providing linked data and ensuring interoperability between all datasets to improve their usability and facilitate reuse. ;;;
C23;The technical background, i.e., infrastructure, technological advances, and knowledge base, is being developed by the National Open Data Coordinator in collaboration with academics (universities).;;;
C24;The topic of open data has largely failed to become institutionalized across government agencies within the country (especially at the regional and local level) - a very decentralized organization of the government, where agencies rely on a high level of autonomy.;;;
C25;Digital skills and open data skills in particular are lacking for citizens.;;;
C26;Digital skills are lacking for all groups, and universities rarely are positive about teaching these skills, although individuals and even groups tend to emerge, while many of them seek their own profit out of this.;;;
C27;Digital skills are lacking for public officials.;;;
C28;Geospatial datasets cannot be previewed.;;;
C29;Government agencies, cities, municipalities and other public sector organizations do not develop their own (open data) activities, and the publication of data must be prescribed by law, and even this often bypasses some, prolongs the waiting times, and often they must be ordered by a court to publish these data. Basically, it is about political culture and what people expect from the public sector. ;;;
C30;Government agencies, cities, municipalities and other public sector organizations do not develop their own (open data) activities, and the publication of data must be prescribed by law.;;;
C31;Most of the datasets cannot be visualized, i.e. the visualization feature is not provided or does not work properly for all datasets.;;;
