About the portal
The idea and purpose of the Lithuanian Data Portal.
Last updated on
The Lithuanian Data Portal brings state and public-sector data together in one place — official statistics, open and geospatial data, and the ways they are put to use. It is run by the State Data Agency (Valstybės duomenų agentūra, VDA), the institution responsible for official statistics and state data governance. Rather than searching separate registers and websites, the data is reachable together here, with shared search and browsing.
The idea
-
A single gateway to state data. Data from different institutions is presented on one platform — from collection through to use.
-
Common standards and interoperability. Data is described with unified metadata and classifications, so it can be compared, linked and processed automatically.
-
Built for machine use. Structured data, open formats (CSV, JSON, Parquet) and an API let it feed into analysis and AI solutions without extra preparation.
-
Open data for society. Freely available data serves business, researchers, the public sector and anyone who finds it useful.
-
Data-driven decisions. Reliable, up-to-date information supports decision-making and informs the public.
Who it is for
The portal is for everyone who needs state data — residents, businesses, researchers and public-sector institutions.
