The document outlines the `Open Data` initiatives in the Umbria region of Italy, focusing on the implementation and management of open data as a means to enhance economic growth, transparency, and data quality. It highlights the establishment of a multi-year plan for open data disclosure, notable advancements in dataset publication, and the technical architecture employed for data sharing.
