Goal and impact

The Directorate of Engineering uses calculation and drawing software to design spatial objects (e.g. buildings). This software includes formulas for e.g. stability and span, which has an impact on building possibilities (building volume, architecture) and thus, for example, on business location opportunities.

  • The algorithm in the software recognises and anonymises personal data and other sensitive information in documents. Governments regularly publish information related to the drafting and implementation of their policies (e.g. based on the Woo). This tool is used to render sensitive data unrecognisable in the process.
