Find your next source with the European Data Portal’s 'similar datasets' feature

Finding one useful dataset is often only the beginning of a search. You may want to explore related information, look for another source or understand what else is available. The European Data Portal offers a 'similar datasets' feature that gives users another way to continue browsing from a dataset they have already found.

On a dataset page, look for the 'similar datasets' button and select it to view further suggestions. Each suggested record provides a route to another dataset, where you can read its description and explore the available resources. For example, the European Union budget record dataset includes suggestions for other budget datasets, offering a starting point for further investigation. 

The 'similar datasets' feature helps users look beyond a single source and consider other information that may be useful for their work. A suggested dataset might provide additional context, cover a different period, or offer another way to investigate a question. For researchers, students, businesses and anyone curious about a topic, it offers a starting point for asking new questions and finding further uses for open data.
