It presents a strategic approach to openness and availability of information for which a serious personnel and technical preparedness of all institutions is necessary. The current level of the institutions is on a different level and that is the greatest challenge. A large part of this project is devoted to the training and the raising of the consciousness within in the institutions about the importance of this system. A large number of analysis, numbers, concrete data that were taken from various documents will be available. All institutions will be obliged to process all the documents as metadata in order to be easily interlinked and to allow comparisons, analysis and to survey the conditions – said Manchevski.
