EDP and ODP become one – the single access point for open data from
Europe and its Member States.
Soon, the European Data Portal will join forces with the European Open
Data Portal (ODP) [https://data.europa.eu/euodp/en/home] to become the
single access point for open data from Europe and its Member States.

Under the name data.europa.eu, the project will continue on its
mission to support European countries in increasing their open data
maturity, publishing open data, and promoting awareness of open
data’s potential for re-use.

To better exploit the potential of open data and public sector
information, the project is centred around:

 	* Harvesting metadata of Public Sector Information (PSI) available
on public open data portals in European countries;
 	* Fostering uptake on data supply, including through the support to
the improvement of the (meta)data quality supply; and
 	* Fostering the uptake of public sector information re-use across
Europe.

The new portal will be implemented with the support of a Consortium
led by Capgemini Invent, in partnership with Intrasoft International,
including Fraunhofer Fokus, OMMAX, con.terra, 52°North, agiledrop,
Timelex, Idean, the Lisbon Council and Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid.

The strategic goal of the data.europa.eu project is to improve
accessibility and increase the value of public sector information
along the whole data value chain. Thus, the Consortium’s
responsibility will be to operate, maintain and further develop the
data.europa.eu portal, support Member States and European countries in
the publication of data, and to increase awareness on the value and
potential of public data resources.

Until then, we will continue to engage with the open data community by
attending and speaking at events; hosting webinars on open data
topics; writing about open data trends in reports, articles and news
items; and promoting open data best practices and use cases.
