The 2024 Open Data Maturity survey launches this month
This month marks the launch of the 2024 Open Data Maturity (ODM)
survey, in which countries from across Europe report on the latest
developments in open data. Information for the report is collected
directly from open data representatives in the participating countries
to gather insights about the behind-the-scenes efforts that power the
portals and datasets we can all see and use. 

The outcome of this exercise is both a quantitative benchmarking of
open data maturity and a compendium of success stories, best
practices, and challenges that countries can reference in their
efforts to continuously improve in this field. The report is also a
summary of the state-of-play of open data across Europe for all
interested stakeholders. 

In a sense, the maturity assessment provides respondents with a
comprehensive checklist of processes, standards, and activities across
several themes that should be in place to achieve a mature open data
ecosystem. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ODM exercise and
to retain its currency and fitness, the survey underwent a periodic
update to include the latest developments in policy and technology.
Nonetheless, its overall structure remains consistent to allow a
year-on-year comparison of progress. 

In the coming weeks, a Q&A webinar is planned to explain the
questionnaire and process to the nominated survey respondents. The
survey will then be open for just over a month. After this, the data
will be validated in consultation with the participating countries.
Finally, the data will be analysed and summarised in the Open Data
Maturity report, which will be published in December. In the meantime,
