Public bodies must realise that the databases they have accumulated are made with taxpayers’ money. Except for the portion which the relevant public body can show that there are legitimate reasons to keep that portion confidential, the databases must be made publicly available in a machine readable format, without any burdensome charge or application procedure. Developers, not only in Korea but all over the world, should have easy access to publicly accumulated databases. This is a most effective and efficient way to improve the quality of life in a modern world.
