GPP-zoeken

The Dutch government wishes to be open and transparent to its citizens. To achieve this, the law Wet open overheid (Woo) was established, requiring government organisations to actively and digitally publish their documents and thus create public records.

To support govenment organisations in executing this law, the “Generic Publications Platform Woo (GPP-Woo)” was developed. This platform is an aggregation of four components, including the ‘GPP-zoeken’ component. This component provides a search index and JSON API to index and (fuzzy) search public records including their metadata.

For a full publication platform, three additional components are required:

  • GPP App, a component which provides public servants with a web-based user interface to manulaly upload and publish public records.

  • GPP Publicatiebank, a component responsible for public record storage and publishing workflows.

  • GPP Citizen Portal, a component which provides citizens with a website where they can browse and search through public records.

All components are designed in line with the Common Ground model.

This project is and only uses Open-source.
