The portal offers well processed open data in a local catalogue for the general public in the form of map outputs with detailed descriptions of map points. The method of automated linking of the local catalogue to the National Open Data Catalogue is an innovative process of the region, including data integration. There is ongoing improvement in the quality of open data through hackathons for students. These give feedback on their quality from analysts and developers, suggestions for improvement, and ideas for new datasets. At the same time, the portal shares data with citizens in the form of infographics, statistical data, map stories. The portal gives more effective data connectivity for the cities and municipalities of the Hradec Králové Region, offering citizens the opportunity to make new suggestions for projects and applications. Innovatively, it gives the possibility to increase the digital skills of employees of the regional office.

Currently, this innovative solution for citizens is being transferred to other public administration entities, especially regions. Good practice is shared with 8 regions in the Czech Republic: the Liberec, Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc, Pardubice, Zlín, Karlovy Vary and Vysočina regions. In the Slovak Republic it is the Banská Bystrica Region. We share good practice in working groups of the Government Council, associations of regions, regional directors' committees, more than 50 professional conferences and abroad, we cooperate with the City of Hradec Králové, the University of Hradec Králové in organizing hackathons and in research activities in the field of open data and the use of AI. In cooperation with the Office of the Government, the region organized a meeting of representatives of regions and other public administration entities to share good practices in the field of open data and data portals as part of the Czech Digital Week to promote digital education and online space.

The project was handled in-house with a dynamic team of analysts, an external developer and a geographer employed by the regional office. Effective communication management kick-started the entire process of data sharing across the regional office. The interest of the working group members to present their work through data visualization to the general public was evident. An integrated region-wide database was created, which provided a rich and valuable data resource.

The portal was visited by 22,000 users and 103,000 pages were viewed during 56,000 visits. Data portals of other regions with open data are being implemented (Liberec, Pardubice, Olomouc and Karlovy Vary regions), including the portal of the city of Hradec Králové. We cooperate with the state agency Czech Invest in providing open data of the region and University of Hradec Králové in research activities with the use of AI on open data of the region.

The portal was included among 40 inspiring public administration projects of the Czech Republic and 70 exemplary political projects of Europe. 1st place in the national round of the QUALITY INNOVATION AWARD 2022 from the Czech Society for Quality and an award in the international round, winner of the Smart Cities 2022 as a Project for the Region, Certificate of Good Practice from EPSA 2023-2024 within the EU, finalist of the Innovation in Politics Awards 2024, semi-finalist of the SDGs 2024 Award for meeting the UN Global Goals. In cooperation with the University of Hradec Králové, an application for open data cataloguing using AI was implemented as part of a selection project. The application was awarded as ITproject of the year 2023 in the Czech Republic.

The most time-consuming was the process of creating the entire website on our own and especially the updating and unification of open data sets according to the rules of the so-called open formal standards and their preparation for publication in the open data catalogue. A separate chapter was the creation of interactive charts, which required the processing of a large amount of disparate data and data sources. It was necessary to unify the database and modify the methodology of data entry into the information system. Currently, 636 interactive outputs and 99 open data sets have been published. It is necessary to maintain the continuity of these indicators and gradually update them with new data and new open datasets.

For this innovation to be successful, the support of the regional office's leadership to this process of data unification and sharing is essential. The key is to involve employees in the implementation of the solution through mutual cooperation, communication between the different departments of the office, support for the presentation of their activities in a completely new innovative way that leads to the development of digital public administration. The key is to streamline data sharing processes within the office, including the possible introduction of a regulation governing these processes. At the same time, there is a need to methodically unify data from the office's information systems and integrate them into a single database.

As a result of this innovation and sharing of good practice, other open data portals of regions and cities are starting to be implemented. Regions inspire each other with new ideas and they are starting to organise regional hackathons, they are cooperating with the Supreme Audit Office to organise national hackathons. As part of the Czech Digital Week organised by the Office of the Government, the region organised a meeting of representatives of the regions to share good practice in the field of open data. This gave an impetus to spread awareness of open data, the need to unify data, and to support analytical activities for decision-making processes within public administration.

The whole project is a timeless and innovative way of sharing open data for citizens, including a local open data catalogue and its automated connection to the National Open Data Catalogue. It is a simple, effective way of sharing data and bringing the field of open data closer to citizens. The portal is an inspiration for other public administration entities leading to its transparency and public information in a time-saving way. The whole process is a relatively simple, low-cost solution for presenting open data that can be adopted by other regions or cities.

The Data KHK Data Portal is one of the most inspiring projects for the digitalization of public administration in the Czech Republic, also as an innovative exemplary project within Europe. This project has opened up cooperation between other regions in the field of open data and other important institutions at the central level, for example the Digital and Information Agency.
. The region cooperates in this area with the University of Hradec Králové. This includes cooperation on research activities, e.g. the development of applications over open data using state-of-the-art information technologies, including AI. Other entities are also involved in mutual cooperation to share data and ensure transparency and openness of public administration.
