DATASUPPORT OPEN Belgium: Where’s my Villo Crowd-sourced service monitoring
Where's My Villo? uses real-time data to track the performance of Brussels' bike-sharing scheme, Villo!, a public-private partnership. The site allows users to report on availability of bikes. The site then presents the empirical evidence that leads to improved services. It uses open government data (location of bike stations) and adds crowd-sourcing for quality monitoring and feedback to the city council.

DATASUPPORT OPEN PSI Directive: history and status • Directive 2003/98/EC on the reuse of Public Sector Information. • By 2008, all Member States had reported implementation of the obligations under the Directive in national legislation. https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/implementation-public-sector-information-directive-member-states • Revision of Directive: Proposal COM(2011)877 and public consultation in 2010. • Endorsement and publication of Directive 2013/37/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 amending Directive 2003/98/EC on the reuse of Public Sector Information. • Member States are obliged to implement the new Directive in two years – there will be a gradual adoption of the new obligations. Slide 36
DATASUPPORT OPEN PSI Directive: objectives Revised PSI Directive 2013/37/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 amending Directive 2003/98/EC on the reuse of public sector information. Main objectives: • to stimulate the further development of a European market for services based on Public Sector Information; • to enhance the cross-border use and application of PSI in business processes, including publishing; • to strengthen competition in the internal market; • to address divergence as to reuse rules between Member States. The Directive allows Member States to implement measures going beyond its minimum standards, thus allowing for more extensive reuse. Slide 37
DATASUPPORT OPEN PSI Directive: obligations • Make information re-usable for commercial or non-commercial purposes under non- discriminatory conditions. • Process requests and provide access within 20 days (or 40 if request is complex); justify negative decision and inform about how to appeal. • Charge no more than cost of reproduction, provision and dissemination; publicise charges and indicate calculation basis on request. • Publish licences in digital format. • Facilitate search for information preferably online (e.g. portal). • Unnecessarily restrict reuse. • Grant exclusive rights, unless necessary, subject to review every 3 years.

Public sector bodies do not have
to:
•
Make information available that is
excluded by virtue of access regimes in
the Member States
•
Adapt formats or provide translations.
Note:
While libraries, museums and archives are
included in the revised Directive, they will
be subject to a different regime for reuse
and charging.

OPEN
Opening up Public Sector Information
How does the revised PSI Directive encourage openness?
• Sets minimum rules across the EU for availability of information
produced by public sector and government agencies.
• Specifies rights for people and organisations that want to reuse the
information.
• Recommends distribution by electronic means.
But:
• Does not mandate information to be available free of charge
(marginal cost of reproduction, provision and dissemination may be
charged).
• Allows some public sector organisations to charge in order to cover
cost (e.g. special arrangements for cultural heritage organisations).
Slide 39
DATASUPPORT OPEN Conclusions • Open Government Data can:
- improve government transparency and accountability;
- release social and commercial value;
- enable participatory governance; and
- reduce government costs.
• The revised PSI directive requires: - information to be made openly available at (max) marginal costs as a default rule;
- information and metadata to be made available in machine-readable and interoperable data formats (wherever possible); and
- all legally public documents to be re-usable for commercial or non- commercial purposes.
