The Official European Data Portal provide access to open data from international, EU, national, regional, local and geodata portals.
The portal addresses the entire data value chain, from data publication to data re-use. In addition to the collection of metadata (data on data), The strategic objective of the portal is to improve accessibility and increase the value of open data.
The portal collects metadata of public data made available across Europe. Source data catalogs can contain data sets with errors. The service will evaluate these errors and communicate them to the owners of the catalogs. This will help improve the quality of metadata and data available across Europe. The metadata contains the information made available with the dataset by the initial publisher. Different licenses or no licenses may occur, and re-users are encouraged to check with data owners/publishers what terms and conditions apply to data re-use.
