Unlocking the Treasure Trove of Government Data: How LINKS Veda is Advancing Data-Driven Governance
11-20, 09:30–09:55 (Pacific/Auckland), WA220

To overcome the long-standing underutilization of paper and unstructured data accumulated by MLIT, LINKS Veda has been launched. This talk introduces methods to enhance the quality and speed of policy-making through AI technology, no-code processing, and geospatial data utilization.


LINKS Veda is an initiative by MLIT to build a centralized and reusable data infrastructure by automatically structuring administrative information using AI technologies such as LLM, NLP, and image recognition.

Key features include:

  • Automated Structuring of Unstructured Data

    Tasks traditionally done manually, such as organizing PDFs and Excel files, are now automated using AI technologies, significantly improving operational efficiency and data usability.

  • No-Code Data Processing

    Enables intuitive operations using data processing templates, even for non-specialists. It also promotes the reusability and continuous improvement of structured processes.

  • Implementation Through EBPM and Open Data

    Facilitates quantitative analysis for policy evaluation and operational improvement, with use cases spanning areas such as regional tourism trends, logistics, and productivity.

  • Support for Geospatial Data

    Outputs in GeoJSON/CSV formats enable high compatibility with GIS tools and web applications for effective data visualization.

This talk will share real-world use cases to illustrate how previously untapped government data is being transformed into a vital resource for open innovation.

Who Should Attend:

  • Government and municipal officials interested in digital transformation and data infrastructure
  • Researchers and think tank professionals involved in EBPM
  • Data engineers, GIS developers, and no-code/low-code developers
  • Startups and corporate representative working on projects that utilize open or public data

A software engineer specializing in Web and GIS.
