Discover the data.europa academy: Third course ‘Incorporating open
data into your application’
The restructured data.europa academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/dataeuropa-academy-discover-our-11-open-data-courses]
offers its third course, ‘Incorporating open data into your
application
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/incorporating-open-data-your-application]’,
where you can learn how to use open data to create or enhance
applications. Whether you are beginner or advanced, you can discover
how to find hidden data on the web, how to use it and achieve open
data interoperability across Europe. 

The course covers seven lessons, starting with an e-learning
‘Finding hidden data on the web
[https://data.europa.eu/elearning/en/module12/#/id/co-01]’, which
explains how to locate and obtain hidden data and assess its benefits
and value. Following that, the ‘5 Stars of linked open data’
method used to assess the functionality of open data will be explained
in the lesson ‘The usefulness of data – the stars of linked open
data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/usefulness-data-stars-linked-open-data]’.
The third lesson ‘Geospatial data and API delivery
[https://data.europa.eu/en/geospatial-data-and-api-delivery]’
focuses on geospatial data, emerging trends and opportunities. Delving
deeper into this topic, the fourth lesson ‘Real-time Data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/real-time-data]’ covers where to find
real-time geospatial data, relevant interoperability standards and
their impact on the publication and use of data.

A common language is necessary to achieve open data interoperability
across Europe. Therefore, it is important to understand how to create
metadata in accordance with the language DCAT and DCAT-AP. This is
covered in the fifth lesson ‘DCAT and DCAT-AP: Achieving
interoperability through data modelling and standardisation
[https://data.europa.eu/en/dcat-and-dcat-ap-achieving-interoperability-through-data-modelling-and-standardisation]’.
The following lesson ‘Unlocking the benefits of open data with
data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/en/unlocking-benefits-open-data-dataeuropaeu]’
guides you in exploring the potential of data.europa.eu for your work
and acquiring the skills to publish and promote open data on the
portal. Lastly, you will learn how to search for data using the SPARQL
Knowledge Graph in the lesson ‘Searching data with SPARQL
[https://data.europa.eu/en/searching-data-sparql]’.
