High Value Datasets are in the spotlight of the European Commission
Under the Digital Europe Programme, the European Commission is supporting a portfolio of projects funded for the use of High-value datasets in the framework of the EU Open Data Directive. BeOpen is included as a key project. The Regulation set up under the Open Data Directive, defines six categories of datasets:
- geospatial
- earth observation and environment
- meteorological
- statistics
- companies
- mobility
BeOpen is piloting datasets in almost all categories, except statistics and companies. The BeOpen Framework offers a set of tools that allows datasets to be available in machine-readable format, mainly via APIs but, if relevant, as bulk download as well.
