[euopendata] [ITRE Nov 29th] PSI votes on Open Formats tomorrow at EUparl 10am

Thu Nov 29 18:23:01 UTC 2012

This sounds so awesome - but would someone mind summarizing the situation
for someone not familiar with the EU system/acronyms/nomenclature? Is the
EU now mandating that some bodies publish their parliamentary information
in machine readable formats? Which bodies does this effect? Is it binding?
