Submitted applications, not limited to prize-winning works, have been posted in the Submitted Works page. Introduction of individual works and applications, however, is limited to those given permission from the applicants.

In the Open Data Application Contest, we invited submission of apps with the theme of use of open data provided from 7 demonstration experiments implemented by the Ministry of Communications. As already announced in "Notice of Data Provision Period of Demonstration Experiments" on January 27, it was supposed to terminate the data provision at the end of each verification test.
However, the prize-winning apps as well as submitted apps may not normally function after the termination of data provision, and there have been requests to continue the open data. Upon the coordination with the Communications Ministry and service providers concerned, we now announce the continuation of provision of many of data.
The details of the Open Data provision after the end of the Demonstration Experiments are shown in the table below. Since some data will not be provided any more, some prize-winning and submitted apps related to those data may not function properly, and your kind understanding will be appreciated.
Since considerations have been made for the continuation of data provision even in the case of data termination, we will deliver the due announcement if data provision is resumed.

Open Data Promotion Consortium, in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications, organized "Open Data Applications Contest" in Jan. to Feb., 2014. In spite of the first ever such event, considerable interests were raised, and as many as 92 works have been submitted.

After the strict assessment by ODPC's Data Utilization & Dissemination Committee and Technical Committee, and Open Data Verification Project contractors of the Communications Ministry, following applications were selected as prize winners, and the award ceremony was held today.

In parallel, the commendation of excellent approaches toward Open Data which has been implemented since last fiscal year was also undertaken. The details of this project has been posted on the OPDC's website for your review.
