Project Deliverables

Deliverable 2.1 – BeOpen technical framework design
This document outlines the initial design and high-level specifications of the BeOpen technical framework, aimed at improving interoperability, semantics, and data quality of public sector datasets to support their publication in standardized formats. It details technical requirements, logical architecture, and relevant European standards while emphasizing open data lifecycle functionalities.

Deliverable 2.3 – BeOpen Trust Framework Report
This document outlines a “Trust Framework” to enhance data availability in line with the EU Open Data Directive and High-value Datasets Regulation, addressing challenges like open data obligations, data protection, and cybersecurity. It identifies key components — such as accessibility, licensing, and transparency — and provides guidelines to support stakeholders in building a trustworthy data-sharing ecosystem.

Deliverable 3.1 – Pilot requirements and HVDs

This document analyzes 15 use cases across 8 pilot sites, identifying objectives, stakeholder needs, and expected outcomes for services based on open datasets. It emphasizes improving High Value Datasets (HVDs) using the BeOpen framework to address real-world needs and leverage open data opportunities.

Deliverable 3.2 – BeOpen Pilot services - demonstrator (pending EC approval)

This deliverable documents the implementation and validation of the BeOpen Framework across eight European pilot cities, demonstrating how High-Value Datasets (HVDs) enhance digital services for urban management, AI training, and public service improvement, with use cases tackling challenges like climate change, mobility, and disaster response.

Deliverable 4.2 – Validation report (first version - pending EC approval)

This document validate the benefits of data-driven decision-making in public administration by monitoring and evaluating the impact of High-Value Data (HVD) on governance, efficiency, and public service improvement, using defined KPIs to ensure continuous optimization and evidence-based policy development.

Deliverable 5.1 – Communication and Dissemination Plan
This document outlines the communication and dissemination strategy for the BeOpen project, designed to ensure its results reach the right audiences effectively and maximize impact. It provides a roadmap for promoting the project, engaging stakeholders, supporting Data Spaces adoption, and enhancing visibility of High Value Datasets, with flexibility to adapt as the project evolves.

Deliverable 5.3 – Awareness Report V1.0
This document reviews the dissemination and communication activities conducted between months 4 and 10 of the BeOpen project, proposing a revised strategy to enhance their effectiveness. It builds on the initial roadmap from D5.1 and outlines plans for future actions while adapting to evolving project needs.

Deliverable 5.5 – HVD Catalogue (pending EC approval)

This document aims to facilitate the dissemination and reuse of public open data across the EU by standardizing metadata and data formats, supported by BeOpen’s harmonization and API-driven approach, leveraging tools like Idra, FIWARE Orion Context Broker, and BDTI to promote transparency, interoperability, and data-driven decision-making.
