Outcomes and deliverables

High Value Datasets held by the public sector will be available via APIs in a machine-readable format for the creation of data products and services and for their use by the participants in the common European data spaces. This will help more companies, in particular SMEs, start-ups, as well as public organisations to use cross-EU data to scale up and offer EU-wide services, benefiting from the size of the EU’s digital market. The easy availability of machine-readable data in bulk or via APIs will also greatly facilitate machine learning based on public data, especially in the data-demanding areas such as climate change, pollution or weather predictions.

The Open Data infrastructure will continue to facilitate and improve access and re-use by the private and public sectors of the datasets generated by European public administrations.

Objective:

The objective is to increase the easy availability, quality and usability of public sector information in compliance with the requirement of the Open Data Directive[1], in order to boost the re-use and combination of open public data across the EU for the development of information products and services, including AI applications.

Scope:

Grants will support public administrations at local, regional and national level in increasing semantic, technical and legal interoperability and data portability of the High Value Datasets (HVDs) identified by the forthcoming corresponding implementing act and selected in specific categories indicated in Annex 1 to the Open Data Directive namely: Geospatial, Earth observation and environment, Meteorological, Statistics, Companies and company ownership, Mobility. In addition, the applicable data sharing rules for selected HVDs belonging to Geospatial, Earth observation and environment, Meteorological domains will complement the provisions of the Directive on Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) and further support Green Deal related initiatives.
