Open Data Goldbook for Data Managers and Data Holders

The publication of the G8 Open Data Charter, among other global initiatives, has further underlined the value of opening government data. The re-use of Public Sector Information has been on Europe’s agenda for over a decade now. Beyond adopting legislation, accessibility to data must continue and accelerate its pace. Nonetheless, publishing Open Data is a challenging task. It affects the technical data infrastructure, as well as organisational
processes throughout the Open Data value chain: from data collection to the creation of new services and products.
