Since 2017, Da Nang city has piloted opening data of state agencies and providing data as services on the Open Data Portal to create new values for people and businesses.
Currently, many businesses have used the Da Nang Open Data Portal to create new digital technology products. These include using temporary trash collection point data to create smart environmental applications; data on establishments granted Food Safety Certificates to build a Food Safety facility lookup application; data on hospitals and medical centers to build an application on ambulance management...
In addition, there are more than 10 agencies and localities of other provinces and cities registered to use the Da Nang Open Data Portal to post data and use data lookup services, serving the needs of data exploitation and lookup for their own users.
In particular, from January 1, 2023, Da Nang has collected fees for using and exploiting the notary database in Da Nang City for notary organizations to look up information on blocking and information on removing blocking; serving the notarization of contracts and transactions. With this regulation, Da Nang is the first locality in the country to implement digital transformation to generate revenue for the budget.
The City is continuing to expand the Shared Data Warehouse to be able to collect and process unstructured/semi-structured data (camera data, IoT, sensors, social networks, etc.) to share with sectors and localities for use in direction and operation. In particular, providing and sharing data for the Open Data Portal for people and businesses to reuse, support innovation, start-ups, create new products and applications.
However, to develop and exploit the potential of digital data more effectively, Mr. Nguyen Quang Thanh, Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Da Nang City, made 4 proposals.
Firstly, specifying data on management objects in sectors and fields. The construction and specification of databases of ministries and local sectors needs to be approached from the top down, in which each ministry and sector needs to issue a list of specifications on management objects and management layers of each sector to serve as a common framework for local application.
From there, build a list of shared databases and specialized databases of localities. Currently, many ministries and branches have not built and issued this specific list, causing localities to be confused in the process of implementing the construction of the local list.
Second, sharing digital data from central agencies. Currently, central agencies such as the General Department of Taxation, General Statistics Office, Vietnam Social Security... have not shared data with localities due to specialized legal regulations that are contrary to the provisions of Decree No. 47/2020/ND-CP dated April 9, 2020 of the Government.
Third, providing and sharing open data. Mr. Nguyen Quang Thanh suggested that localities need to clarify the levels of Closed, Shared and Open, and which agency decides. Along with that is the compliance process for Data Subjects or state management agencies to ensure regulations on personal data protection according to Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP.
Fourth, the national economic sector classification system. The current Vietnamese economic sector system (issued in Decision No. 27/2018/QD-TTg dated July 6, 2018 of the Prime Minister) has not fully recorded the scope of activities of the Information and Communications - Digital Economy ICT sector in particular and has not clearly established the fields of operation of the Digital Economy in general; leading to incomplete statistics on revenue of the ICT sector as well as the Digital Economy, thus creating difficulties in state management and policy making for industry development.
The Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Da Nang City proposed that the Central Economic Committee consult with the Ministry of Planning and Investment to soon research and update the Information and Communications industry code in accordance with current practical conditions, creating favorable development orientations for the industry in accordance with the content of the Digital Economy to serve management and statistics.
