Main challenges
Not unified data structures Storing big data Multiple languages Fragmentation in thousands of sources
Technical
Legal
Cultural
Licensing Business model(s) Inexpensive Conflict Resolution
Open data awareness among Authorities
![Page 16: Building a pan-European platform to aggregate public procurement data and deliver commercial services for SMEs powered by open data](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052523/55635462d8b42aed538b4ff6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Our real challenge
Unlocking the data
NOT the right approach
![Page 17: Building a pan-European platform to aggregate public procurement data and deliver commercial services for SMEs powered by open data](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052523/55635462d8b42aed538b4ff6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Euroalert approach to unlocking data
Formal request addressed to data holder
Sometimes presentation of the objectives
License agreement signature
and sometimes complaint placement :(
Data re-use of new source within 10ders IS
Upgrade of current products

Release whatever format is convenient, later on you can improve
Machine readable – RAW DATA – Any format is OK PDF or HTML is not enough
Re-users will invest if there's value
