The document describes the ADEQUATe project, which aims to improve the quality of open data through data monitoring, knowledge management, quality assessment, and community involvement. The project has three partners: Semantic Web Company, Danube University Krems, and University of Economics Vienna. By mid-2018, the project will deliver a final ADEQUATe platform to monitor and assess open data quality, link datasets, and enable community feedback, helping to improve the integration and value of open data. A beta version of the platform was launched in December 2017.

What is ?
ADEQUATe Open Data: Analytics & Data Enrichment to improve
the QUAliTy of Open Data builds on two observations:
An increasing amount of Open Data becomes available as an important resource for emerging businesses and further
on the integration of such open, freely re-usable data sources into organisations’ data warehouse and data management
systems is seen as a key success factor for competitive advantages in a data-driven economy.
The project now identifies crucial issues which have to be tackled to fully exploit the value of open data and the efficient
integration with other data sources:
● the overall quality issues with metadata and the data itself
● the lack of interoperability between data sources
The project's approach is to address this points already in an early stage – when the open data is freshly provided by either
governmental organisations or others.
