High Value Datasets: Understanding the perspective of data providers
On 20 January 2020, the European Data Portal released a new study titled: " High-value datasets: Understanding the perspective of data providers". The study reviews relevant literature, policy decisions, and national initiatives to allow for a deeper understanding of the current status around value assessment of datasets. The findings from interviews with selected open data providers from different Member States provide insights into different perceptions and expectations around high-value datasets (HVDs). For example: The value of datasets depends on the point of view, the specification, and

More transparency through Open Data
The district Lüneburg, situated in the German state of Lower Saxony, was one of the first counties to have its own Open Data Portal. To further develop the functionalities of this portal, they have released a new version with more data and more services. In this new portal, the county now provides access to more than 100 records. With the portal, the local authority wants to strengthen its transparency and encourage local participation by its citizens. Furthermore, as most of their data is indirectly funded by the taxpayers they want to share (relevant) data where possible. The new portal

Finding hidden inefficiencies with Open Data
Open Data has already proven its strengths in various sectors such as real estate or transport. A study conducted by Guru Systems which was supported by the Open Data Institute and the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change has now explored its potential for the energy market. In this study it is revealed how Open Data can help identify hidden inefficiencies in energy generation, distribution and consumption for the UK. Eliminating these inefficiencies could save the UK energy market up to £400 million over the next 10 years. In the same period, this could save the emission of 800,000

Do you use Dutch Open Data?
Many Dutch applications use Open Data in their service, for example to warn you when it is about to rain or to help order your meal for dinner. These applications can be very popular without users actually knowing that they are (partly) based on Open Data. This is a shame because sharing success stories on Open Data re-use stimulates other developers to make use of this resource for new and innovative applications as well. The Dutch government therefore launched a new award, the Stuiveling Open Data Award (Soda), to make Open Data re-use more visible to the public. Soda is looking for all
