Objective

The overall objective of the Action is to develop a framework that allows the interoperability, by using technical assets and common ontologies, between national statistical portals and the European Data portal and the deployment of cross-border services that reuse European statistical open datasets from those portals.

More particularly, the Action performs a set of scientific, technical but also legal-related activities to investigate and provides a set of solutions to achieve the following specific objectives:

  • Enable interoperability among different national statistical portals and the European Data Portal through the adoption of standards and tools to automate metadata harmonisation and data publication;
  • Provide standards, methodologies and tools to achieve data harmonisation in the field of (linked) open data statistics among different national statistical institutions,;
  • Provide uniform technical interfaces for a standard and simple re-use of statistical information through the adoption of CEF Context Broker Building Block and the implementation of ETSI NGSI-LD API specification;
  • Provide tools to simplify statistical data visualisation and analysis for non-technical end-users;
  • Validate the technical solutions, provided in the Action, through the deployment and piloting of cross-border end-users services in the domain of Population and Households Census, reusing harmonised statistical data in combination with open dataset (i.e. city- related data) from European Data Portal and other national open data portals.

The intended outcome of the Action is to provide a coherent and holistic framework to enable and foster the deployment of new replicable cross-border services reusing European statistical and valuable open datasets.
