DGA Public Hearing on Government Data Exchange Standards for Person and Legal Entity Data
On 20 February 2026, DGA held an online public hearing on draft Digital Government Standards for government data integration and exchange, focusing on data semantics for person and legal entity data. Dr. Asis Annyapho, Deputy Director of DGA, opened the event and delivered a keynote on the role of standards in advancing digital government and the importance of consulting the public on these drafts.
A panel on using government data integration and exchange standards to make public services more convenient featured Asst. Prof. Dr. Marong Phadungsit, chair of the technical working group on government data integration and exchange standards; working group representatives from the Department of Provincial Administration and the Department of Business Development; and Dr. Urachada Ketprom, Director of Government Digital Standards at DGA.
The draft standards help public-sector IT developers integrate and exchange data. In particular, they guide developers in choosing common vocabularies for responses from data services that handle person and legal entity records, alongside other data management tasks in public service delivery.
DGA standards 4-2565 and 5-2565 had been in place for three years and were already in use by some agencies. DGA proposed reviewing them to bring them closer to international standards before publication in the Royal Gazette and application to government agencies.
DGA invited feedback from 2 February to 3 March 2026 through the central legal portal. Download the draft documents for comment.
