Data4all is the name that regroups several projects carried on by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers with a common target: to improve the efficiency of public administration and the quality of public services.

• Dati.gov.itDati.gov.it is the National Open Data Portal that allows everyone to see and understand open data

from public administration• SoldiPubblici soldipubblici.gov.itWhere, whom and for what: soldipubblici.gov.it hosts online all the expenses regarding local

governments. A simple way to control over expenditure data with the help of interactive tools • ItaliaSicura - italiasicura.gov.itA portal that allows the display of data regarding the hydrogeological situation and, in particular, the

state of emergencies (such as floods and landslides) and the related work carried out by the Government: citizens can follow the progress of the construction sites and how much money has been spent on a single intervention.

• OpenExpo - dati.openexpo.itThe portal has been made to show the progress of Expo2015 - financial flows, purchases and

payments, the state of construction site - in a more transparent way, easier to navigate by using simple visualisation tools.
