Beginning October 1st 2010, all Ministries are obliged to upload their decisions on the Internet, through the "Cl@rity" program. Cl@rity is one of the major transparency initiatives of the Ministry of the Interior, Decentralization and e-Government. Henceforth, the decisions of the public entities can not be implemented if they are not uploaded on the Clarity websites, each document is digitally singed and assigned a transaction unique number automatically by the system.
Clarity will cover all public institutions, regulatory authorities and local government. The Clarity program introduces for the first time in Greece the obligation to publish all the decisions on the Internet, with the exception of decisions that contain sensitive personal data and/or information on national security. It is quite an innovative program, even by European standards, aiming first of all to bring about the maximum publicity of the government policy and administrative action. The use of Internet guarantees wide publicity and access to information, progressively contributing to a culture change in the whole of the Public Administration.
Nevertheless, the Cl@rity program website is plagued by serious issues: a) Stability issues during rush hours, b) no way to search INSIDE the full text of the documents, c) no modern usability features. As a result, it is really difficult to use it to find information.
The aim of UltraCl@rity is to support transparency and access to Greek public data for everyone.
UltraCl@rity enables full text search in the total set of laws, decisions and documents published by the Greek Government through the Cl@rity project. UltraCl@rity features include:
UltraCl@rity began operation in the 1st of September 2011 and is being developed continuously ever since.
