BeOpen - An Open Framework for boosting EU High Value Datasets in Public Sector
BeOpen aims at providing a holistic framework to support open data and metadata life cycle management pipelines aimed at accessing, curating and publishing High Value Datasets (HVD)
Where: international
Where: international
Challenge
BeOpen challenges include increasing the easy availability, quality and usability of public sector information in compliance with the requirement of the Open Data Directive, in order to boost the re-use and combination of open public data across the EU for the development of information products and services, including AI applications.
Approach
The approach proposed by BeOpen to achieve the objective was to analyze the existing assets, the current open data management process and related shortcomings, the tools and services used in the pilot sites and identify the points of improvement of open datasets. The requirements identified have been harmonized in order to drive the design of generic architecture and tools that can support the most of the needs. A gap analysis was carried out to identify missing capabilities and related additional components as well as the definition of key standards and approaches to be followed in the project, including in particular the Open Data Directive and the HVD Implementing Regulation.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
The solution adopted involves providing open source tools, replicable pipelines and best practices to perform data collection, curation, data and metadata harmonization, improve quality and publish HVDs, particularly related to: statistics, mobility , environmental, earth observation and geo-spatial. The framework will be deployed and evaluated within several pilots from 6 different countries (Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, and Spain). The project consortium is led by Engineering which also leads the task related to the design and integration of the BeOpen technical framework, web platform based on FIWARE technologies and assets developed by the group.
The project has received co-funding from the European Union's DIGITAL Programme (DIGITAL-2022-CLOUD-AI-02)- Contract No.101100807
