The Open Data Directive introduces the concept of ‘high-value datasets’ as datasets holding the potential to (i) generate significant socio-economic or environmental benefits and innovative services, (ii) benefit a high number of users, in particular SMEs, (iii) assist in generating revenues, and (iv) be combined with other datasets. Given this, the Directive requires that such datasets are available free of charge, are provided via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and as a bulk download, where relevant, and are machine-readable. The Directive does not include the specific list of high-value datasets—which is expected in the future—but only their thematic categories, one of which is ’Geospatial’.
