PSI update in a nutshell:

  • anything funded by the government should be public domain
  • Right to access, Right to re-usability - combined
  • APIs ok, but also access without APIs
  • same standard for publicly funded educational / research data
  • DB directive is harmful, killing European startups

PSI directive:

Q1 if you consider Germany (25% of EU GDP) PSI directive

if at all, had very limited effect

Q2 it didn't succeed to convince some administrations, like in Germany, that re-usability is wanted, non-reusable-friendly adminstration can avoid providing data

Q3 not relevant, since it doesn't provide the combination of

right to access and re-use in one step
