High-value Datasets Best Practices in Europe
Summary
This report explores Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138,
which complements the open data directive by establishing specific
requirements for high-value datasets (HVDs). With the regulation
taking effect on 9 June 2024, it focuses on highlighting best
practices and strategies used by EU Member States in meeting these
requirements. Based on interviews with representatives from seven
Member States, the analysis identifies also common challenges, and it
provides a roadmap for Member States to achieve compliance, aiming to
improve public sector efficiency, economic opportunities, and
cross-border collaboration. Key findings reveal varying degrees of
adoption and challenges in HVD availability and use.
