Abstract
In the context of the EC-funded ENGAGE project, and in collaboration with euroCRIS, a team at the engineering school Ecole Centrale Paris has performed a functional, technical and economic analysis of Open Governmental Data platforms in the world to determine the differentiating services to be promoted and the most promising business models for this type of platforms. As a result, a combination of business models evolving in time is recommended.
Highlights
The global context is a public demand for transparency in the use of public funds
The purpose of the ENGAGE project is to build a collaborative workspace at a European level, a platform that lists a large amount of datasets available to all, even though the beta version is still for experienced users
Our goal regarding the ENGAGE project is to determine how to ensure the economic viability of the platform
Summary
The global context is a public demand for transparency in the use of public funds. Added to this is the bet made by the governing bodies of the economic potential of re-use of public data, and of development of applications using the public data. More and more portals are created to make available public data, but barriers hinder the desired operation: data format, metadata format and poverty, diversity of vocabularies and languages, diversity of licenses of use, to name the most important. The ENGAGE project[1], funded by the European Commission is currently developing a platform[2] where the collaborative aspect should help overcome some of these barriers
