Abstract: A comprehensive Register of
institutions in the fields of culture, education and
health is an essential tool for policy and decision
making in those fields. Institution can be either
completely or partially owned and financed by local,
provincial or state government. Therefore, those
governmental levels can have various responsibilities
in the process of decision making regarding further
development, financing and planning in those
institutions. In order to successfully perform their
duties and exercise their rights in governing those
institutions, comprehensive and up-to-date information
about those institutions must be available. Appropriate
form for storing potentially large amounts of data
about those institutions is to build a specialized
registry. By opening parts of such a registry to public
access, the level of e-government service that local,
provincial and state government is providing to
citizens can be largely improved. Such an open access
can be beneficiary to both citizens as well as
professionals in those fields. This paper presents a
pilot project of such a registry, developed for
Provincial Government of Autonomous Province of
Vojvodina. This paper presents overall data model
necessary to support such a registry, as well as an
implementation of one specialized registry - Registry of
health institutions. The presented implementation is
entirely based on open source software systems.
