Hi Christian,

I blogged 
<http://inferringvalue.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/dados-launch-of-the-brazilian-open-government-data-portal/> 
about the general features all open government catalogues must aim for a 
few months back. Looking at Brazil's open goverment data portal, the 
blog 
<http://inferringvalue.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/dados-launch-of-the-brazilian-open-government-data-portal/> 
mentions that the catalogues must have the following features:

1. Searching datasets
2. Viewing Apps built on those datasets
3. Social Media Integration
4. Look at open data resources (research papers, articles, latest trends 
etc.)
5. General features (share the vision, and gather user feedback)

If not already, I suggest same should be aimed for EU Open Data 
Portal. And looking at the website it looks great and inviting user 
feedback from this email, is already a tick in the box!

Hope this will help.

best wishes,
Ankit

        Hi Timothy,

        Thank you for this feedback, very useful indeed. Would it be
        okay if I include your contact details in the report, thereby
        inviting potential follow-up on their side?

        -Christian

            Just as a clarification, the point of asking the Commission
            about licensing would be to push for open, standardized
            licenses as the way to go. The updated PSI directive
            suggests this, and Kroes made a reference to it in her
            speech promoting Europeana and their use of CC0 (see
            http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/neelie-kroes/open-data-agreement/). So
            if the EC is leaning toward open licenses for others'
            content and data, why not for that material coming directly
            out of the EC? And, there have been other good moves from
            the US gov in recommending standardized open licenses and
            public domain tools (see
            http://project-open-data.github.io/open-licenses/), as well
            as the OGL v2.0 now coming into alignment with the Open
            Definition.

                I'm interested in the IP/licensing piece. We might
                suggest that the Commission conduct an analysis (if they
                haven't already) on the benefits and drawbacks of
                adopting the December 2011 decision on reuse of
                Commission documents [1] as opposed to adopting or
                recommending the use of standardized open licenses and
                public domain legal tools aligned with the Open
                Definition [2]. Would this be useful?

                    Dear All,

                    We are currently *putting together a summary on the
                    EU Open Data Portal (EU ODP)
                    <http://open-data.europa.eu/>* that was launched
                    earlier this year - as a single point of access to a
                    growing range of data from the institutions and
                    other bodies of the European Union.

                    By providing easy and free access to data, the
                    portal aims to promote their innovative use and
                    unleash their economic potential. It also aims to
                    help foster the transparency and the accountability
                    of the institutions and other bodies of the EU.

                    For the summary, which will be presented to the
                    European Commission, we are *inviting feedback from
                    the community*; specifically we would be interested
                    in hearing about:

                    - General opinions on the EU ODP and it's ability to
                    fill the above-mentioned aims
                    - Uses of the data from the EU ODP; existing case
                    stories or planned future uses
                    - The launch; was the portal announced properly and
                    appropriately and in the right channels?

                    Please help us by voicing your opinion, so we can
                    provide good and useful feedback on the portal.

                    -Christian
