a big year for the digital landscape in Europe? Maybe the </span><a href="https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/european-parliament-and-council-reach-ground-breaking-agreement-artificial"><span lang="EN-GB">AI Act</span></a><span lang="EN-GB">, the first-ever legal framework on AI, or recent progress in the </span><a href="https://health.ec.europa.eu/ehealth-digital-health-and-care/european-health-data-space_en"><span lang="EN-GB">health data space </span></a><span lang="EN-GB">comes to mind. All good suggestions – but there is more. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Open Data Maturity (ODM) assessment, our flagship publication that documents the year-on-year progress of European countries in making data openly accessible and stimulating its reuse.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-GB">When it was first launched, ODM measured two dimensions of maturity in 31 countries. Today, it assesses maturity across the entire open data value chain using four dimensions: policy, portal, quality, and impact. And in 2023, 35 countries participated, covering the EU-27, three EFTA countries, and five candidate countries.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-GB">Having established their open data policies, including transposing the </span><a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/legislation-open-data"><span lang="EN-GB">open data directive</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> into national law, and created </span><span>modern portals</span><span lang="EN-GB"> to search for open data (see our recent features of </span><a href="https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/european-open-data-portals-france-unlocking-transparency-and-innovation"><span lang="EN-GB">France</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> and the </span><a href="https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/european-open-data-portals-spotlight-netherlands-impactful-initiatives"><span lang="EN-GB">Netherlands</span></a><span lang="EN-GB">), the </span><a href="https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/2023-open-data-maturity-report-has-been-released"><span lang="EN-GB">2023 ODM report</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> found that countries are turning their attention to the quality of the metadata they provide to reusers. </span></p><p><span lang="EN-GB">But the story is not over yet. The impact dimension remains an area for improvement. With increased efforts to achieve impact</span><a href="https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/news/unveiling-blueprint-indicators-open-data-impact-assessment"><span>, better measurement techniques</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> will be needed to monitor open data reuse and its effects on society. And, of course, the open data policy and technology landscape continues to evolve. In 2024, the implementing regulation on </span><a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commission-defines-high-value-datasets-be-made-available-re-use"><span lang="EN-GB">high-value datasets</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> comes into force, setting additional requirements for certain categories of open data that can help turbocharge digital innovation in Europe. </span></p><p><span lang="EN-GB">Over the past decade, the ODM report has aimed to support the development of open data best practices among participating countries and to provide an annual snapshot to its readers on the ever-evolving open data landscape in Europe. To keep abreast of this dynamic landscape, the ODM methodology will undergo a planned revision ahead of the 2024 exercise. This way, the assessment can continue to celebrate the achievements, highlight the challenges, and reflect on the opportunities ahead in Europe’s open data journey.</span></p><p><span

decade on: The evolution of open data maturity in Europe\nWhat makes 2024 a big year for the digital landscape in Europe? Maybe the\u00a0AI Act,\u00a0the first-ever legal framework on AI, or recent progress in the\u00a0health data space\u00a0comes to mind. All good suggestions \u2013 but there is more. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Open Data Maturity (ODM) assessment, our flagship publication that documents the year-on-year progress of European countries in making data openly accessible and stimulating its reuse.When it was first launched, ODM measured two dimensions of maturity in 31 countries. Today, it assesses maturity across the entire open data value chain using four dimensions: policy, portal, quality, and impact. And in 2023, 35 countries participated, covering the EU-27, three EFTA countries, and five candidate countries.Having established their open data policies, including transposing the\u00a0open data directive into national law, and created\u00a0modern portals to search for open data (see our recent features of\u00a0France and the\u00a0Netherlands), the\u00a02023 ODM report found that countries are turning their attention to the quality of the metadata they provide to reusers.\u00a0But the story is not over yet. The impact dimension remains an area for improvement. With increased efforts to achieve impact, better measurement techniques will be needed to monitor open data reuse and its effects on society. And, of course, the open data policy and technology landscape continues to evolve. In 2024, the implementing regulation on\u00a0high-value datasets comes into force, setting additional requirements for certain categories of open data that can help turbocharge digital innovation in Europe.\u00a0Over the past decade, the ODM report has aimed to support the development of open data best practices among participating countries and to provide an annual snapshot to its readers on the ever-evolving open data landscape in Europe. To keep abreast of this dynamic landscape, the ODM methodology will undergo a planned revision ahead of the 2024 exercise. This way, the assessment can continue to celebrate the achievements, highlight the challenges, and reflect on the opportunities ahead in Europe\u2019s open data journey.Follow us on\u00a0Twitter,\u00a0Facebook, and\u00a0LinkedIn, and subscribe to\u00a0our newsletter.\n2024-04-05 14:00:00\n2024-04-05 14:00:00\nThe data.europa.eu flagship publication has been documenting the open data landscape for ten years ","header-search":{"currentLanguage":"en","path":"https:\/\/data.europa.eu"},"user":{"uid":0,"permissionsHash":"b03c72377afc8005cc94cb71eb46225d5a2a4131b9ba44df8372d0ffa9a358e1"}}</script> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_ArHDA_jHgtuoXM6wR6h6DyOr9zSfdHxUHq3b7iaRujE.js?scope=footer&delta=0&language=en&theme=edp3&include=eJxtT0EOwzAI-1CyHPagKE28LmpaEBB1_f1aVZ0mbRewDRYGhaMRNaus4ShONzXMYUgKh8L3ICjQOi4nQ24e3aHHTDRV7G3mVtOSEf6JseCRerPDHUcskNTCjv25qT_6glUbzCBe-6BZ6gDPxJ1d2Q8cYyGaQybevOFlZ64nUoF8Y69Ikp-OEFcMx5MainRO7XZxr3MSa3RZP0G4rnV6A_WCbbA"></script> <script src="/modules/custom/edp_tooltips/js/tips.js?sn92bp" defer async></script> <script src="/themes/edp3/dist/redesign.js?v=1.x"></script> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_mbiBhPZUwRWkT21EGkk4lbKHvl59hKGw8VQ60eLL0zc.js?scope=footer&delta=3&language=en&theme=edp3&include=eJxtT0EOwzAI-1CyHPagKE28LmpaEBB1_f1aVZ0mbRewDRYGhaMRNaus4ShONzXMYUgKh8L3ICjQOi4nQ24e3aHHTDRV7G3mVtOSEf6JseCRerPDHUcskNTCjv25qT_6glUbzCBe-6BZ6gDPxJ1d2Q8cYyGaQybevOFlZ64nUoF8Y69Ikp-OEFcMx5MainRO7XZxr3MSa3RZP0G4rnV6A_WCbbA"></script> <script src="/modules/contrib/eu_cookie_compliance/js/eu_cookie_compliance.min.js?v=10.2.10" defer></script> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_wLq7Ys7Hx-nUR05OUi59qPT14vi-MUmPjOCqJGuYino.js?scope=footer&delta=5&language=en&theme=edp3&include=eJxtT0EOwzAI-1CyHPagKE28LmpaEBB1_f1aVZ0mbRewDRYGhaMRNaus4ShONzXMYUgKh8L3ICjQOi4nQ24e3aHHTDRV7G3mVtOSEf6JseCRerPDHUcskNTCjv25qT_6glUbzCBe-6BZ6gDPxJ1d2Q8cYyGaQybevOFlZ64nUoF8Y69Ikp-OEFcMx5MainRO7XZxr3MSa3RZP0G4rnV6A_WCbbA"></script> <script src="https://europa.eu/webtools/load.js" defer></script> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_xfGZ-IsUD0-f8ovZhDe4c_nmLFwApD4noLsP4hkUAHE.js?scope=footer&delta=7&language=en&theme=edp3&include=eJxtT0EOwzAI-1CyHPagKE28LmpaEBB1_f1aVZ0mbRewDRYGhaMRNaus4ShONzXMYUgKh8L3ICjQOi4nQ24e3aHHTDRV7G3mVtOSEf6JseCRerPDHUcskNTCjv25qT_6glUbzCBe-6BZ6gDPxJ1d2Q8cYyGaQybevOFlZ64nUoF8Y69Ikp-OEFcMx5MainRO7XZxr3MSa3RZP0G4rnV6A_WCbbA"></script> </body> </html>
