‘IMPROVING DATA PUBLISHING BY OPEN DATA PORTAL MANAGERS AND
OWNERS’
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/studies?keywords=&section=All&country=All&year=&sort_by=aggregated_field&sort_order=DESC&items_per_page=10&keywords=improving+data+publishing&merged-select=aggregated_field&items_per_page=10]
aims to help open data portal managers and owners to create added
value with open data by publishing high-quality data in a simple
manner. The design of the data-publishing process is crucial and
implementing improvements to this process can significantly contribute
to the use and dissemination of open data. 

The report focuses on three areas of data publishing: 

 	* _Data and metadata quality_: Open data is most useful when it
maintains a high standard of quality.
 	* _Methods, targets and processes_:_ _The design of the publishing
process influences how easily and efficiently data providers can
publish their data.
 	* _Feedback and improvement processes:_ Data-publishing processes
improve not only the data publication of open data but also contribute
to its use.

In alignment with these focus areas, the report investigates how data
is made available through various portals and identifies bottlenecks
in the publication processes, following suggestions for improvements
for portal managers and owners. Using the results of a survey
distributed among portal managers and owners, the current situation is
highlighted, identifying pain points, best practices and suggestions. 

The report then gathers recommendations related to metadata
management, knowledge and information, harmonisation and
standardisation, as well as automation and tool support. The report
further specifies under each recommendation what it relates to, what
the approach consists of and the more specific recommendations that
fall under the abovementioned areas. The report serves as a primary
source of information for open data portal managers and owners, using
in the improvement of their data-publishing processes.
