This webinar highlights how Open Data is being re-used by private sector companies. Two

Fourth Edition of the Open Data Barometer launched
On 23 May, the World Wide Web Foundation launched the fourth edition of the Open Data Barometer, providing a global snapshot of how governments are using Open Data for accountability, innovation and social impact. Covering 115 countries, the study found that early Open Data leaders are stalling, and even backsliding in their delivery of Open Data. The scores of high-ranking Nordic countries and the United States have fallen this year, and also the United Kingdom has seen worrying changes in key policies. Globally, fewer than one in ten datasets studied are fully open - unchanged from last year

New Interoperability Maturity Model
In May 2017, the ISA 2 programme launched the new version of the Interoperability Maturity Model. The Interoperability Maturity Model (IMM) is a user-friendly online tool that helps you to assess the interoperability maturity of your public service. Nowadays, public administrations can no longer exist in isolation. They must interact with many other administrative bodies, often across borders, and share and utilise services, data, and business processes with them. In other words, they must be interoperable. With regards to Open Data, Core Vocabularies for instance facilitate the seamless

Survey on barriers and opportunities for re-use
The EuDEco project assists European science and industry in understanding and exploiting the potentials of data re-use in the context of big and Open Data. The aim is to help establish a self-sustaining data market and thereby increase the competitiveness of Europe. In the course of the project, barriers of data re-use (see here our recent report on barriers) have already been identified and investigated from legal, socio-economic and technological aspects. Results of this analysis are introduced in the draft EuDEco model of the European data economy. However, to obtain a comprehensive picture

Open Tourism days in Denmark
Create the future of tourism with Open Data! On 5, 6 and 7 May 2017 the Open Tourism days take place in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is a three-day hackathon dedicated to innovation, tourism and data. Open Data, research institutions, developers and entrepreneurs will be brought together to work on the most pressing challenges within the tourism industry. To generate more value from the visitors Denmark already has attracted, visitors need to be inspired to do more, stay longer and/or to return again. The first step is to use data and visitor insights to identify and remove weaknesses. Not just
