The document discusses Helsinki Region Infoshare (HRI), a data portal that provides open data for the Helsinki region. HRI aims to make data on topics such as transportation, housing, and the environment available to citizens and businesses. The data is free, public, and machine-readable. Examples of how open data is being used include apps for transportation, housing, and civic participation. HRI works to expand the amount and types of open data available and foster collaboration around open data initiatives in Helsinki and Finland.
