and the analyzing of data organized hierarchically. Lower level divisions collect actual data (immediate
measurements) about the number of emergencies, human casualties, road accidents etc, summarize
(aggregate) them on a regular basis and report higher in the chain of command. The recipients of
the information do the same. This process repeats until the resulting data appear in official documents.

did not allow quick processing of big data. It was necessary to restrict volume of data received and
processed at each administrative level. In fact, elimination of the need to analyze all data coming from

The relevance of this article first of all is caused by the initiatives connected to «open data»
