Recap of 2022 and outlook publication 2023
The data.europa.eu team wishes you all a happy new year! 

This news piece is the first of a series of three releases to recap
and reflect on 2022 and to provide an outlook for 2023. This initial
piece highlights a few publications and studies published in 2022 and
gives a sneak-peak on what to expect in 2023.  

The publications and studies in 2022 covered several topics relating
to open data. This includes technical topics (real-time and
geospatial), legal topics (anti competitive law and the changing the
legal environment) and measuring the impact of open data. Examples of
publications related to the three topics in 2022 are highlighted
below.

 	* The TECHNICAL TOPICS saw improvements in line with understanding
the opportunities for integrating real-time data sources in
data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/en/doc/real-time-data-2022-approaches-integrating-real-time-data-sources-dataeuropaeu].
Furthermore, an updated version was published on geospatial trends
[https://data.europa.eu/en/doc/geospatial-trends-2022-opportunities-dataeuropaeu-emerging-trends-geospatial-community]
for 2022, focusing on opportunities for data.europa.eu based on
emerging trends in the geospatial community; 
 	* Looking at the LEGAL TOPICS, a report on sharing data
(anti-)competitively
[https://data.europa.eu/en/doc/sharing-data-anti-competitively-will-european-data-holders-need-change-their-ways-under]
was published in 2022. This was produced in the context of new
upcoming legislation that will impact data holders and their practices
under competition law. In 2023, data.europa academy will hold a
webinar open to the public to better understand the changing
environment on this topic;
 	* Finally, several publications and studies focused on MEASURING THE
IMPACT AND REUSE OF OPEN DATA. This topic will continue to play an
important role in webinars [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] and
publications
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/studies?keywords=&section=All&country=All&year=&sort_by=aggregated_field&sort_order=DESC&items_per_page=10&page=0]
in 2023. In 2022, data.europa.eu launched the Use Case Observatory
research project, a 3-year monitoring exercise of 30 reuse cases to
better understand the economic, governmental, social and environmental
impact of open data.  As a result, the Use Case Observatory Volume I
[https://data.europa.eu/en/doc/use-case-observatory-3-year-monitoring-30-reuse-cases-understand-economic-governmental-social]
was published. This report will be followed by two additional ones,
respectively in 2024 and 2025. 

Going forward in 2023, data.europa.eu will continue to publish
publications and studies that relate to and impact open data. A few
examples of upcoming publications to look forward to in 2023 include
reports on citizen generated data, data homogenisation, data
publishing, and data funding. Finally, our yearly Open Data Maturity
report [https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity] is
one to anticipate for the end of 2023.
