Description:
Open government information means that the government will make available to society all public information obtained during public affairs management, in accordance with legally prescribed procedures, scope, methods, and time periods, to facilitate convenient retrieval and use by society as a whole. Open government information is a precondition for scientific management and effective use of government information resources, a basic requirement for government informatization, and also a requirement for government management reforms, for strengthening government work transparency, for safeguarding citizens' right to know, and for comprehensively fulfilling the requirements of the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
