[euopendata] [open-government] Commission welcomes Member States' endorsement of EU Open Data rules

Fri Apr 12 15:14:45 UTC 2013

I will take some time to look at this properly next week but a couple of things that are new:
>  
> Formats: open and machine readable formats required where possible and appropriate

We must stress the stuff in the current version is NOT OPEN STANDARDS. It says nothing about royalties, free access to documentation, etc.  
>  
> Exclusive arrangements: Illegal unless needed for a public interest service (unchanged). Arrangements need to be motivated and reviewed every 3 years. For digitization of cultural heritage material it may be 10 years (new).
It appears that exclusive digitisation deals can be perpetual, reviewed after 10 years and every 7 years thereafter. This is a fundamental change.

Puzzling indeed

Is the previously progressive proposal of the commission watered down? I would like to hear what other people find in it.
