Shared Standards for Open Data and Public Sector Information

The objectives of the Share PSI 2.0 Thematic Network are to bring together a very broad range of stakeholders in the re-use of public sector information and to help them to reach consensus on technical standards, complementing existing and ongoing initiatives in the domain. The network will focus particularly on implementing the new PSI Directive and includes government agencies and ministries from a variety of member states as well as standards bodies, academic institutions, commercial companies working in the field and organisations that effectively interface between government and citizens using open data as the medium. The network will identify the most appropriate standards to be used in the publication of open data, highlight the need for further standards work, and share experiences of using those standards.
