Abstract

The local open government data holds undiscovered potential for wider
application. Municipal policies and representatives' decisions have a direct
impact on citizens' daily lives and the public should be aware of them.
Nevertheless, the data related to city council activities may not always be
easily searchable, and if available, the varying formats complicate further
extraction and processing. This paper contributes to the academic discourse by
proposing a unified approach to processing and storing the data from the
council's decision-making. The paper outlines a generic data model designed for
broad application across municipalities. A data set within this model can be
automatically processed and stored in the database. The solution presents an
information system with an user-friendly interface that visualize the data in the
form of dashboards, enhancing accessibility for the general public. This paper
contains practical example of how the data model can be applied to real votes of
the council in the City of Brno, which is the second largest city in the Czech
Republic.
