• Consortium with at least 2 SMEs
• Max. 24 months runtime
• Max. EU funding: 1.500.000€
• At least 30% of the funding to be allocated to SMEs
• Part B max. 20 pages
• One-stage submission process

IP

• Part B max. 50 pages
• Max EU funding: 5 M€

(a) & (c)¶

Open Data Reuse: Large volumes of open data have been made available but the reuse of open data is not keeping pace with publication developments.

Impact

• Hundreds of applications, reusing billions of open data records, used by millions of end users around the EU
• Dozens of data application software components, used by hundreds of developers
• Wider creation of valuable applications by integrating available public data with the users' own data, including contextual information available from mobile devices

(a)¶

Recommendations

• Focus is on incubator role, not on research
• Hands-on support of SMEs: provision of data, integration support, testing environment,...
• The consortium will disburse the majority of the funds to fund mini-proposals submitted by SMEs

(c)¶

Development of software components supporting the whole life cycle of reuse of multilingual open data, particularly from public bodies.

Methodologies and tools for

• data publication
• linking
• assessing data demand
• cross platform development of data applications

with focus on

• usability
• sustainability
• responsiveness

Recommendations

• Point out the need for the envisioned components in the current open data reuse chain
• Develop intuitive tools that simplify the reuse of open data
