OpenWoo

Wet open overheid (Woo)-compliant publication flow on your Nextcloud. Eleven categories, audit log, citation-stable URLs, federation to data.overheid.nl. Citizens find what they need without filing a Woo request.

What it does

Active disclosure, by category.

OpenWoo wraps OpenRegister, OpenCatalogi, and DocuDesk in a Woo-specific configuration. The eleven categories are pre-defined, the audit log covers every publication, retention runs automatically per your archive policy.

Eleven Woo categories, pre-configured.

Laws and binding regulations, organisation and working methods, council documents, agreements, annual plans and reports, subsidies, complaints, investigations, decisions, datasets, meeting documents. All as typed registers, all in citizen-search.

Federation to data.overheid.nl.

Every published Woo record is automatically indexed on data.overheid.nl. DCAT-AP-NL metadata out of the box.

Citation-stable URLs.

Every Woo record gets a permanent identifier the moment it is first published. Parliamentary questions, legal dossiers, and journalistic articles keep working after a reorganisation or platform migration.

Audit trail per publication.

Every disclosure, edit, withdrawal, and access leaves a tamper-evident trail. The evidence pack you need for an audit, complaint, or appeal is ready.

Anonymisation upfront via DocuDesk.

DocuDesk strips PII from inbound documents before they are published. Microsoft Presidio under the hood, tuned for Dutch personal terminology.

Three ways OpenWoo earns its place

Eleven categories, citation-stable, citizen-search ready.

Scroll the cards. Each pins as you reach it; the next slides up to cover.

Pre-configured

The eleven Woo categories, day one.

Citation-stable

URLs that survive a reorganisation.

Every Woo record gets a permanent identifier the moment it is first published. Parliamentary questions, legal dossiers, journalistic articles keep working after platform migrations.

See OpenRegister
Federated

Indexed on data.overheid.nl automatically.

Every published record becomes a DCAT-AP-NL entry on data.overheid.nl. Citizens find it without filing a Woo request, journalists query it without scraping.

How OpenWoo plugs into the workspace

From inbound request to published record.

Three integration paths that move a Woo request from inbox to data.overheid.nl, mostly through the Nextcloud apps you already use.

Citizens and journalists email a Woo request. The mail lands on the case automatically; attachments file themselves under the request dossier; the coordinator sees the new request in the case timeline without leaving Mail.
