The real value of what we share: how open data transforms the environment, health, and agriculture
When it comes to open data, it's easy to get lost in technical mazes. Often the debate focuses on file formats, semantic interoperability, licenses of use or metadata optimization.

The value of measuring impact: how to capture and make visible success stories in the reuse of open data
Opening up public data is just the first step on a much more ambitious path. The true success of open data policies is not measured in the number of datasets published or in the volume of gigabytes downloaded, but in the real impact that this data generates on society, the economy and innovation.

What is a DGGS and why does it matter in data governance?
