courses on Quality will help you
The final spotlight of our data.europa Academy
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] themes series is put on
‘Quality’ courses designed to improve your open data usage and
visualisation skills. Within six different courses, there are lessons
that will teach you how to find data, assess its usefulness, and
improve open data quality. Discover readings, webinars, and
e-learnings that help you understand what makes quality open data.  

Start your quality journey with our e-learning ‘What is open data?
[https://data.europa.eu/elearning/en/module1/#/id/co-01]’ of the
‘Introducing open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/introducing-open-data]’ course to
get an understanding of the basics of open data. The course
‘Incorporating open data into your application
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/incorporating-open-data-your-application]’
offers a range of quality lessons that teach you how open data can be
assessed on its quality and how to put this into practice. The core
course of the quality domain is the ‘Improving open data and
metadata quality
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/improving-open-data-and-metadata-quality]’,
which contains e-learnings on open data cleaning
[https://data.europa.eu/elearning/en/module11/#/id/co-01], choosing
the right format
[https://data.europa.eu/elearning/en/module9/#/id/co-01], and
understanding what makes quality open data
[https://data.europa.eu/en/academy/what-makes-quality-open-data].
Another way to improve the quality and the interoperability of data is
through data citation, which our lesson

will show you how to do effectively.
