  1. Its systematic updating and further enrichment with new datasets in order to establish it as an active and reliable information hub, to facilitate the operation of the Municipality’s Services and consequently to better serve the transacting parties (professionals and citizens).
  2. The development of the interconnection of the SDI through APIs and tools with other information systems used by the Municipality. The creation of APIs is a horizontal system that serves all sectors and departments of the Municipality.
  3. The development of an Open Data Portal in order to make all public data of the Municipality of Chania, free and available for everyone, without restrictions of intellectual or industrial property rights, and using open, structured and machine-readable standards.
