Re-use of PSI – the wider picture A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth Action 3: Open up public data resources for re- use
The challenge PSI: a raw material of major importance for new value-added information services Market gap with major partners Barriers remain at European level (formats, cross-border availability, diverging re-use conditions…)
Market gap Economic value of PSI: < 1% EU GDP (G. Vickery 2011) > 7% of US GDP (M. Ricolfi 2012, Pira 2000)
