Frequently Asked Questions

Open data is data that can be freely used by anyone, reused and redistributed. It is usually in the most machine-readable format, depending on the quality and sharing requirement. Open data is data that “everyone can access, use, distribute and generate value from ​​freely and openly”. The data must be available in machine readable, collective and open license format. Key features of open data: Usability and Access: The data as a whole should be downloable and conveniently available, at a cost that does not exceed the cost of reproduction. Reuse and Redistribution: Data must be provided under conditions that allow reuse and redistribution, including its use with mixing with other data sets. Universal Participation: Data must be available and distributable to everyone, without discriminating against individuals or groups. An interactive ecosystem will be created by not only the raw data sources belonging to that area, but also by making the data available to everyone. In this way; communication and mutual contributions between publishers and public institutions that offer open data will increase transparency, technological innovation and public service etc. Thanks to open data, many gains can be obtained by different institutions or organizations. Open data can be used in various planning stages, in development stages or institutional policies, in developing new incentive mechanisms and in establishing possible new collaborations, in the development of new processes, and in improving cumbersome government structures. The most important motivation reasons for publicly publishing public data are; transparency; effectiveness and efficiency; we can list them as entrepreneurship and competitiveness. When public data is published publicly, everyone can have information about how public resources are spent. This increases transparency and accountability in terms of public administration. It is known that efficiency and efficiency in public administration increase with the publication of public data. Because resource waste is observed more easily, spending priorities can be determined more easily and necessary corrections can be made faster. Finally, public publishing of public data increases entrepreneurship and competitiveness. If the data is processed at the right time and with the right method, it reveals the necessary benefits. Data is stale if the data is not processed at all or if it is processed late due to bureaucratic obstacles; loses its meaning. In order to prevent all these problems, common infrastructures should be established in cooperation to develop standard guides for data sharing, raise awareness and raise awareness of the benefits of data sharing, and to reduce the costs of processes such as anonymization.
Data sets are collections of relevant information sets that show relationships between categories and variables.
"Open format" means that the data can be read without any cost, without a paid tool, and the data has interoperability features. In open data, data is expected to be in “open format”.
As part of an effort to: create a better informed public, enhance customer service, improve efficiencies and obtain value added benefits back from the community.

The first datasets consist of layers that are machine readable and have no privacy restrictions. Later versions will meet the same standards. Information previously collected for internal purposes or in high demand is prioritized.
The update frequency of each data set is available in the relevant metadata file. The data is updated regularly depending on personnel restrictions and the availability of new information. Critical datasets are constantly maintained as information changes, while others are updated on a routine schedule.
