Discover our portal’s apps: Useful tools to enhance the
accessibility of open data
Data.europa.eu [https://data.europa.eu/en] not only hosts and provides
a wide range of open datasets, we also foster transparency and
collaboration by enabling various stakeholders to develop open data
apps [https://data.europa.eu/en/apps]. These apps use openly available
datasets to create innovative solutions that benefit the public in
numerous ways.  

One example is ANNIF [https://data.europa.eu/annif/], an open-source
toolkit for automated subject indexing. ANNIF integrates several
machine learning and AI-based algorithms for text classification,
aiding in the tagging of EU Vocabulary properties for datasets.
Another useful resource is the Data in Publications Guide
[https://data.europa.eu/apps/data-in-publications-guide/], which
offers authors and publishers practical advice on presenting and
publishing data in a more user-friendly manner. This guide is
formatted as an extendable checklist and includes tips, examples,
resources, and visuals. 

Additionally, the Data Visualisation Guide
[https://data.europa.eu/apps/data-visualisation-guide/] is an
educational tool covering all aspects of data visualisation, organised
into seven broad topics. The EURI Trends
[https://euritrends.github.io/intro_page/] app shows CORDIS data and
offers insights into EU research spending. This app assists users in
exploring EU innovation, the contributions of various organisations,
and rankings of projects, sectors, and budgets. For those curious
about the similarities between different regions across Europe, the EU
Twinnings [https://data.europa.eu/apps/eutwinnings] web application
provides an engaging experience. It enables users to explore and
compare European regions through a 'virtual twinning' platform that
calculates and visualises similarity measures using EU open data.  

You can easily find all these apps by navigating to the 'Community'
drop-down menu on the top bar and selecting the first option. Whether
it's enhancing data visualisation, understanding research trends, or
comparing regional similarities, explore a variety of apps that
leverage these datasets to provide valuable solutions across different
domains.
