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.

  • The algorithm in the software is mainly set to recognise and anonymise privacy-sensitive information in documents. Basis for this is the AVG. The tool is also used to highlight and mask information that cannot be shared for other reasons (based on another basis, e.g. the Woo) in a document.
