DESCRIPTION:Published in 2019\, the Open Data Directive (Directive 2019/102
 4) introduced the notion of high-value datasets. These are datasets from E
 U public sector organisations that – thanks to their reuse\, especially 
 from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – hold the potential to g
 enerate significant socioeconomic or environmental benefits as well as inn
 ovative services. As such\, the Directive required that high-value dataset
 s are made available free of charge\, under open licenses (CC BY 4.0 or an
 y equivalent or less restrictive license)\, via Application Programming In
 terfaces (APIs) and\, where relevant\, as a bulk download. \nWhile the Dir
 ective only listed the six categories of high-value datasets (Geospatial\,
  Earth observation and environment\, Meteorological\, Statistics\, Compani
 es and company ownership\, Mobility)\, the subsequent Implementing Regulat
 ion – in force since February 2023 and applicable from June 2024 – pro
 vided the actual list of datasets to be made available by EU Member States
 \, together with the requirements for their publication\, e.g. in terms of
  granularity\, key attributes and metadata. Three out of the six categorie
 s of high-value datasets (Geospatial\, Earth observation and environment\,
  and Mobility) include datasets with a geospatial nature\, which were on p
 urpose defined to match the datasets already in scope of the INSPIRE Direc
 tive (Directive 2007/2/EC). This is the Directive\, in force since 2007 an
 d currently under revision within the GreenData4All initiative\, which est
 ablished a pan-European spatial data infrastructure. INSPIRE was mostly fo
 cused on achieving data discoverability\, accessibility and interoperabili
 ty\, but it did not provide requirements on data licensing. The result is 
 that datasets are made available under several different reuse conditions\
 , including only a portion of open data. Therefore\, the high-value datase
 ts Implementing Regulation is expected to add an open license requirement 
 to INSPIRE data\, thus opening up new opportunities for all stakeholders i
 nterested in reusing EU public sector data.\nThis talk will first describe
  the high-value datasets Regulation and provide an overview of the geospat
 ial datasets in scope and the requirements on their provision. Afterwards\
 , it will present the results of the first reporting exercise from EU Memb
 er States due in February 2025\, compare the results with the indicators m
 easuring the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive\, and reflecting on l
 essons learnt and emerging good practices. Finally\, the talk will zoom on
  specific and significant examples of EU public sector data that have been
  unlocked thanks to the Regulation and hold the potential to drive meaning
 ful impact in various fields.
