Rediscover our key publications and initiatives of 2023!
The data.europa.eu team extends its warmest wishes for a joyful and
prosperous New Year! 

In terms of open data, 2023 was a very exciting year. Throughout the
year, several major reports and research articles
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/studies] were published.
First, we had a significant number of publications related to the
technical side of open data. For example, the “Report on Data
Homogenisation for High-value Datasets
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/Report%20on%20data%20homogenisation%20for%20high-value%20datasets_EN.pdf]”,
focusing on a methodological approach to facilitate the identification
and homogenisation of such datasets. We also addressed the topic of
data spaces in our European Data Spaces and the Role of data.europa.eu
[//efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https:/data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/Data_Spaces_Panel_Report_EN.pdf]
report. This focuses on enabling the aggregation and collaborative
sharing of data both within and between sectors in Europe, a key
element of the European data strategy. 

Although the technical side of data is interesting, creating value is
another important aspect of the data.europa.eu portal. Hence, the
“Assessment of the value of data and other types of assets in
data.europa.eu
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/Assessment_of_the_value_of_data_and_other_types_of_assets_in_dataeuropaeu_final.pdf]”
is worth mentioning. This report is the first in a series, enabling to
assess the value of datasets by studying their presence on other
platforms, tools and applications, and the related datasets and
resources that enrich the original content. Furthermore, in addition
to the presence of datasets, we published the “New Business Models
for Data-Driven Services
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/New%20Business%20Models%20for%20Data-Driven%20Services_en%20.pdf]”
report, focusing on the reuse of information generated by  both
for-profit and not-for-profit organisations of the public sector. 

Lastly, the “Geospatial trends 2023: Opportunities for
data.europa.eu from emerging trends in the geospatial community
[https://data.europa.eu/sites/default/files/report/Geospatial_trends_report_2023_EN.pdf]”
and Open Data Maturity 2023
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity/2023]
reports are to be emphasised. The former report dives into the trends
on how data.europa.eu can support and benefit from the new ways in
which geospatial datasets are offered. Open Data Maturity 2023
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/open-data-maturity/2023]
provides an in-depth overview of how European countries are developing
regarding the policy, impact, portal and quality dimensions. Another
key aspect of our Open Data Maturity reports is the assessment of
country best practices, enabling other countries to take benefit in
their trajectory towards maturity. 

In the coming year, data.europa.eu will continue to keep releasing
insightful studies and publications relevant to open data. Stay tuned
for Friday’s news item, as we will recap and look forward to our
data.europa.eu academy sessions!
