5 National open data portal Available datasets from 24 institutions totaling in 154 datasets: 82 structured datasets 72 documents and links

6 National open data portal

7 Data mashing Possibility for real-time data mashing of up to 3 datasets published on the portal.

8 Open data apps

9 Metadata standards The Macedonian standard for metadata for open government data is based on DCAT- AP (DCAT Application profile for data portals in Europe) We adopted 5 main classes from this standard: Catalogue Dataset Distribution Agent Vocabularies
