Call for action - Participate in the selection of the next thematic
categories of high-value datasets!
DG CONNECT
[https://ec.europa.eu/info/departments/communications-networks-content-and-technology_en]
is leading a study on the identification of thematic categories for
the extension of the current list under the Open Data Directive
[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1561563110433&uri=CELEX:32019L1024].  

The study will propose new thematic categories for high-value datasets
based on desk research and direct contribution from the different
actors (e.g., data publishers, data reusers) to enable, in a second
step, to conduct a socio-economic (impact) assessment of the potential
benefits of these new thematic categories. A particular attention will
be given to the potential value of re-using public sector information
from a start-up and SMEs perspective. 

DG CONNECT encourage all interested parties to take part in this
collaborative approach and join the current Working Group by
registering here
[https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/HVDsurvey2022]. 

Once you register, you may also decide to participate at the webinars
planned for Monday, 30 May from 14:00 - 16:00 CET and for 28 June
(time TBD). 

In addition to the registration website above, you can directly start
contributing on this MURAL board
[https://app.mural.co/t/beadvtc7549/m/beadvtc7549/1652164784423/3aeb3f9daaa1d8a03c5d9b1732cd8e334e92fcfc?sender=ubfd32ddf6e888f7f01855363],
following the instructions below: 

 	* The first box, starting from the left hand-side, contains the list
of sub-thematics already identified prior to and during a first
webinar conducted in May. Should you find the list of sub-thematics
not inclusive nor exhaustive enough, PLEASE ADD YOUR SUGGESTIONS. Note
that during the first webinar, 7 potential thematic categories have
been prioritised. 
 	* In the second box, PLEASE POINT US TO CONCRETE AND POTENTIAL
HIGH-VALUE DATASETS (i.e. datasets having a potential economic and
social impact). 
[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1561563110433&uri=CELEX:32019L1024] 
 	* In the third box, and on the basis of the high-value datasets
referenced in the previous box, PLEASE SUGGEST CONCRETE ECONOMIC,
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THAT HIGH-VALUE DATASETS MIGHT HAVE
ON THE EUROPEAN ECONOMY if made available and accessible. Note that
granularity is important and don’t hesitate to support your claims
with data and/or studies.
