National government budget at a high level. This category is looking at budgets, or the planned government expenditure for the upcoming year, and not the actual expenditure. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

• Planned budget divided by government department and sub-department
• Updated once a year.
• The budget should include descriptions regarding the different budget sections.

Comments

The government budget dataset is available on the Open Fiscal Data site managed by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of the Republic of Korea. The dataset is available in bulk, in various formats including XML, JSON, Excel, CSV, and Text. The site also provides Web APIs which can be used to harness data programatically on the Web.

Actually, this dataset does not include descriptions regarding the different budget sections, but the budget in the dataset is well divided by government departments, ledgers, accounts, sectors, parts, programs, and sub-programs so general citizens can easily understand where the money goes without explicit descriptions. In this regards, I think the dataset meets the minimum criteria of the dataset definition.
