The document discusses open data harmonization efforts across Europe. It outlines reasons why building open data services is difficult, including a lack of standardized formats and vocabularies. It then describes several European initiatives and tools that aim to address these challenges by promoting standards like DCAT and DCAT-AP for cataloguing open government data, as well as projects that develop federated open data portals and address legal interoperability issues.

2. WHY OD HARMONISATION?
Open Data
Provide (public) (raw) data in digital standard and open formats for reuse them automatically.
Anyone can use them for free for whatever and whenever
you want (including
commercial purposes)

3. WHY OD HARMONISATION?
The hard reality: BUILDING OPEN DATA SERVICES IS, STILL, A PAIN
REASONS/COMMENTS:
#1: “We need more data opened”.
#2: “Open the Data is expensive”.
#3: “The Law don’t enforce me to open data”.
#4: “The open data quality is so low”.
#5: “Governments open data that we don’t want”.
#6: “We need all data, we don’t want only the ‘cooked’ data”.
#7: “We need to homogenize all open data offer”.
#8: “From close data to open data… but in silos”.
#9: “I don’t know what the hell license is applicable”.
#10: “I have a strong distrust towards the government”
