Real-time data 2022: Approaches to integrating real-time data sources
in data.europa.eu
 

Real-time data includes all data providing up-to-date information
about the environment surrounding individuals, such as traffic,
weather, environmental pollution, or natural hazards. This type of
data is therefore essential for providing citizens with detailed
information on public transportation, live updates on traffic jams and
available parking lots, as well as many other practical insights that
can make daily life easier. Not surprisingly, the European Directive
on open data and the re-use of public sector information
[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1561563110433&uri=CELEX:32019L1024]
puts specific emphasis on opening up real-time data, and
data.europa.eu continuously supports the publishing and the
re-usability of this type of data.

In this context, the report ´Real-time data 2022: Approaches to
integrating real-time data sources in data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/data_europa_eu_Real_time_data_2022_Approaches_to_integrating_real_time_data_sources_in_data_europa_eu.pdf]`
was published with the aim of following up to the data.europa academy
webinar on real-time data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/real-time-data] on 5 April 2022.

Building on the content presented during this webinar, the report
offers on the one hand a short overview of information and
technologies relevant to share real-time data, including for example
specific standards and APIs. On the other hand, the publication
summarises the main findings of the questions and feedback from the
webinar participants with respect to needs for data, types of data
sources, and required functionalities. Finally, the report recommends
a set of short-term and medium-term actions to further improve the
discoverability and preview of real-time data sources via
data.europa.eu.
