This document discusses open data development in Mongolia. It identifies legal and organizational issues that need to be addressed, including the lack of a comprehensive legal framework and data protection policies. Currently, few government datasets are openly available. The National Information Technology Park has started an Open Data Initiative to define policies, standards and licenses. Opening transportation, budget and statistical data from Ulaanbaatar city could help boost open data initiatives in Mongolia by providing a successful case study. Overall progress requires improved data management, technical skills and awareness of open data across government.
