Data stories

Introduction The Open Data Maturity (ODM) report provides an overview of the progress achieved by European countries as they push forward in creating the necessary conditions to make the most of open data. The concept of open data maturity in Europe is considered against four dimensions: quality, portal, policy, and impact. Open data portals are platforms that facilitate data access and reuse...

This is part of a series of articles showcasing examples of high-value datasets from their different thematic categories. High-value datasets are defined by EU law based on their potential to provide essential benefits to society, the environment and the economy. This series aims to help readers find reliable and accurate information from official sources relating to the availability of various...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are complex mathematical models trained on data. These systems are designed to process and analyse large volumes of data with the purpose of recognising patterns and making predictions. AI systems are becoming increasingly accurate and sophisticated due, in part, to advances in the techniques and algorithms used for AI, access to greater computer processing...

Benefits of (open) data sharing Open data is the most far-reaching approach of data sharing for at least three reasons. Firstly, while data sharing can also happen against remuneration, the concept of open data allows to make data freely available without restrictions. Secondly, access to and reuse of open data is granted to all: from public sector bodies to private companies, and individuals...

In December 2022, the eight annual Open Data Maturity (ODM) report was published with 35 participating countries across Europe (EU27 Member States, EFTA countries and candidate countries). The report aims to provide a better understanding of the level of open data maturity in these European countries, capture their progress over time, find areas for improvement, and benchmark countries´...

Geospatial datasets as open data Geospatial datasets is information that contains specifications on properties that are linked to an exact point on Earth. Examples of geospatial datasets include satellite imagery, as well as census datasets tied to specific geographic areas ( Open Data Maturity , 2022). Facilitating the discovery and access to open geospatial data sources is an essential goal for...
