*ABOUT THE WEBINAR:*

There is a growing interest in the publication and consumption of data on
the Web. Government and non-governmental organizations already provide a
variety of data on the Web, some open, others with access restrictions,
covering a variety of domains such as education, economics, e-commerce and
scientific data. Developers, journalists, and others manipulate this data
to create visualizations and perform data analysis. Experience in this area
reveals that a number of important issues need to be addressed in order to
meet the requirements of both publishers and data consumers.

In this webinar we will discuss the key challenges faced by publishers and
data consumers when sharing data on the Web. We will also introduce the W3C
Best Practices set (https://www.w3.org/TR/dwbp/)to address these
challenges. Finally, we will discuss the benefits of engaging data
publishers in the use of Best Practices, as well as improving the way data
sets are made available on the Web.
