As well as the development of scientific- practical recommendations to public authorities and local self-government bodies to ensure the use of electronic access to public information and open data. The legislation of Ukraine and the European Union and the terminology that was found generally accepted standards and was analyzed. The main problem issues and shortcomings of the existing terminology are defined and are suggested taking into account the best European and American practices of the definition of “public information”, which will include socially important information that exists in executive bodies and other entities of power, not only in documented form.

The system model of electronic access to public information and open data legal regulation was developed; a model of the interaction system between authorities on the organization of electronic access to public information and open data, citizen appeals and electronic services. There have been offered practical recommendations for state authorities, which are subjects of legislative initiative and whose competence is development of the legislative and regulatory provision of public information with restricted access.
