The ENGAGE project on Open, Linked Governmental Data for science and society www.engage-project.eu

1. An Infrastructure for Open, Linked Governmental Data Provision towards Research Communities and Citizens Co-funded by the EC under the FP7 – eInfrastructuresProgramme

3. Vast amounts of data

4. A new driver for research on many disciplines, both theoretical and applied

5. Existing Open Data sites and services

6. Non-standardised metadata, difficult to navigate

7. National level only

8. Very few linked data

9. Citizen participation

10. Not encouraging citizen engagement, up to now

12. Create an open service platform, integrating large amounts of public sector data, processing tools and resources, in support of the research communities dealing with governance and policy modelling, complex systems simulation, public administration transformation, government 2.0, information and communication technologies, future internet and social sciences

13. Providing PSI to research communities and citizens in a personalised manner
