Open data portals across Europe: Denmark connects a decentralised data landscape through smart monitoring and reuse

Find public data across sectors with ease on dataeyviser.dk

Denmark’s national open data portal, datavejviser.dk, plays a central role in navigating the country’s decentralised data ecosystem. Instead of hosting datasets directly, the portal acts as a guide, linking users to thousands of datasets published across platforms such as opendata.dk – which focuses on municipal and regional data – and dst.dk, the official statistics portal. This structure reflects Denmark’s coordinated approach to open data, where multiple platforms serve distinct audiences and purposes.

To improve usability, datavejviser.dk monitors how users interact with the portal,analysing search behaviour, dataset categories, and page visits. These insights help shape the platform’s development and ensure that users can easily discover datasets, including data on energy, education and science. Each dataset includes contact details for the data owner, making it easy for users to request more information or suggest new datasets through a built-in contact form.

By guiding users through Denmark’s distributed data landscape, datavejviser.dk helps lower barriers to access and encourages reuse. The portal’s technical documentation and source code are publicly available, supporting transparency and collaboration. Data is presented in formats that work well for both humans and machines, enabling practical applications in areas such as AI development, energy planning, and public service delivery.
