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?

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
