Cabinet Decisions alongside thousands of public datasets through LankaData’s intelligent search platform.
Sri Lanka’s growing open-data ecosystem has taken another significant step forward with LankaData announcing the addition of official Cabinet Decisions of the Government of Sri Lanka to its rapidly expanding public information platform. The latest enhancement further strengthens LankaData’s vision of becoming the country’s most comprehensive AI-powered public data repository, providing researchers, businesses, legal professionals, journalists, students, and policymakers with easier access to authoritative government information.
The newly integrated Cabinet Decisions repository enables users to search and access official Cabinet approvals, policy decisions, development projects, public sector reforms, infrastructure initiatives, and other executive decisions issued by the Government of Sri Lanka. Previously scattered across various government portals, these records are now available through a unified search interface powered by LankaData’s intelligent retrieval system.
A Unified Gateway to Sri Lanka’s Public Information
LankaData is positioning itself as an intelligent public data platform rather than simply a document repository. Built on the Lanka Data Net (LDN) infrastructure, the platform combines structured datasets with artificial intelligence to allow users to search, discover and understand public information more efficiently. According to the platform, it has developed extensive repositories covering legal, taxation, business and institutional information comprising more than one billion structured datasets, supported by AI-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models integrated with the Chat2Find large language model.
What Users Can Access
With the addition of Cabinet Decisions, LankaData now provides access to a broad range of Sri Lankan public information, including:
- Official Cabinet Decisions
- Supreme Court Judgments
- Court of Appeal Judgments
- Acts and Amendments
- Consolidated Acts
- Legislative Enactments
- Sri Lanka Law Reports
- New Law Reports
- Extraordinary and Ordinary Gazettes
- Parliamentary Bills
- Government circulars and institutional publications
- Public datasets
- Economic and statistical information
- Government records
- AI-powered legal and public information search
- Multilingual AI assistant for contextual information retrieval
AI-Powered Knowledge Discovery
Unlike conventional document libraries that rely solely on keyword searches, LankaData incorporates an AI-powered search layer designed specifically for Sri Lankan public information. Users can perform natural language searches and receive contextual responses generated using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), enabling faster discovery of relevant laws, judgments, policy documents, institutional records and public datasets.
The platform is designed to support legal professionals conducting case research, journalists verifying public information, businesses monitoring regulatory developments, academics analysing government policy, and students accessing authoritative reference materials.
Supporting Transparency and Research
The inclusion of Cabinet Decisions is expected to improve public accessibility to government policy decisions and executive actions. Cabinet memoranda often contain information relating to national development projects, infrastructure investments, public procurement, regulatory reforms, social welfare programmes, and economic policy decisions that are valuable for researchers and businesses alike.
Centralising these records within a searchable AI platform may reduce the time required to locate official government information while improving transparency and accessibility.
Continuous Expansion
The Cabinet Decisions repository represents another milestone in LankaData’s continuing expansion of Sri Lanka’s public information infrastructure. Earlier this year, the platform introduced a unified search system covering more than 90,000 public documents, including legal archives, government publications, court judgments, gazettes and public records, while also announcing localized AI technologies designed for Sinhala, Tamil and English information retrieval.
As additional government records and institutional datasets are incorporated, LankaData aims to provide a single intelligent gateway to Sri Lanka’s public information ecosystem, enabling users to search across multiple authoritative sources from one platform.
