(Revised) PSI Directive Theme: Dataset criteria
Aims, priorities and scope should be set for an open data initiative. Planning, executing and monitoring such an initiative require datasets to be assessed according to various criteria that would allow balancing value of the provided datasets to the users and costs and risk to the publishers. Best practices in this domain aim at proving the publishers with a set or criteria for assessment of datasets in various situations. The emphasis is put on criteria enabling identification of high value datasets and on reflecting views and needs of various stakeholders in the open data ecosystem. Best practices in this domain complement the best practices aimed at selection of datasets to be made available for reuse because they can be used to prioritise release of the selected datasets.
