European Data Portal releases new version of the website

Discover updates to the EDP website

New website

The European Data Portal (EDP) beta version was launched on November 2015. Since then, a new version of the website has been released several times a year with the latest being on 2 May 2019, when the EDP launched version 2.3 of the website.

Previous enhancements and extensions of the EDP website included:

  • the development of an API for editorial content (e.g. the EDP use cases, news items and events),
  • harvesting of additional catalogues from geo- and non-geo sources,
  • a focus on linked metadata (interlinking metadata sets),
  • enhancing graphical data visualisations and the geo-spatial visualisation services such as city level base maps that are provided by Eurostat, and
  • enhancements of the MQA with the use of W3C Data Quality Vocabulary (DQV), introducing a scoring metric and enhancing catalogue reports.

 

EDP version 2.3

The EDP version 2.3 includes several new features - features that are visible and hidden from end-users. The new features for version 2.3 include:

  • Implementing a fully DCAT-AP native metadata catalogue that makes it easier for users to search for data;
