GPP Burgerportaal

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 Burgerportaal’ component. This component provides citizens with a website where they can browse and search through public records.

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

  • GPP Publications, a storage repository and JSON API to manage and expose public records including their metadata.

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

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