Online Survey on the EU PSI Directive
An online survey heads an Europe wide public consultation process on the policy and legislative framework for the re-use of public sector information and the opening up of government data for re-use.
The European Commission's short announcement on the Europe's Information Society Thematic Portal about the survey comments:
“9 September 2010 - Today the Commission launched a public consultation on the PSI Directive. All interested parties – public sector bodies, re-users, developers, researchers and citizens – are invited to participate in the consultation which includes questions on the PSI re-use context and possible action to consider, substantive issues regulated by the PSI Directive, practical measures, changes that have taken place and barriers that still exist, and other issues. The consultation will feed into the debate on possible policy options that should be considered for the review, and will contribute to the impact assessment that will be carried out subsequently, associated with proposals for possible legislative or other measures.”
The online survey:
- includes questions on 1) the PSI re-use context and possible action to consider, 2) substantive issues regulated by the PSI Directive, 3) practical measures, 4) changes that have taken place and barriers that still exist, and 5) other issues to comment regarding the review of the PSI Directive.
- will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey.
- will close on 30 November 2010.
The replies to the consultation will be published on the Commission's PSI web site http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/policy/psi/index_en.htm.
