3 Reproduction is authorised provided the source is Value through open DataNovember 2015A study on the Impact of Re-use of Public data Resources4 The European data PortalWithin the context of the launch of the European data Portal , further evidence of the quantitative impact of re-use of open data is measured. The aim of this study is to collect, assess and aggregate economic evidence to forecast the benefits of the re-use of open data for the EU28+. Four key indicators are measured: direct market size, number of jobs created, cost savings, and efficiency gains. Between 2016 and 2020, the market size of open data is expected to increase by , to a Value of bn EUR in 2020. The forecasted number of direct open data jobs in 2016 is 75,000 jobs.

4 From 2016 to 2020, almost 25,000 extra direct open data jobs are cre-ated. The forecasted public sector cost savings for the EU28+ in 2020 are bn EUR. Efficiency gains are measured in a qualitative approach. A combination of insights around efficiency gains of open data , and real-life examples is provided. To measure the success of open data policies, a series of recommendations is put forward to help governments keep track of the direct and indirect benefits of their policies. This is key in further accelerating the publishing of open data and encouraging its Portail europ en de donn esDans le cadre du lancement du Portail europ en de donn es, l impact quantitatif de la r utilisation des donn es ouvertes a t mesur.

5 L objectif de cette tude est de recueillir, analyser et agr ger les preuves conomiques des avantages de la r u-tilisation des donn es publiques au sein de l UE28+. Quatre indicateurs cl s sont mesur s: le volume du march , le nombre d emplois cr s, les conomies de co ts ainsi que les gains d efficacit . Entre 2016 et 2020, la taille du march des donn es ouvertes devrait augmenter de 36,9 %, pour atteindre une valeur de 75,7 milliards d euros en 2020. Selon les pr visions, en 2016, le nombre d emplois li directement la r utilisation des donn es ouvertes est de 75,000 postes. De 2016 2020, ce sont pr s de 25,000 nouveaux emplois qui seront cr s dans ce secteur. D ici 2020, gr ce la r utilisation des donn es ouvertes, le secteur public serait en voie de r a-liser 1,7 milliards d euros d conomie sur l ensemble de l UE des 28+.

6 Une approche plus quantitative est suivie afin de mesurer les gains d efficacit . Ces gains sont abor-d s sous la forme d une tude de cas. Une s rie de recommandations est formul e afin d encourager les Etats mesurer plus en d tail le succ s de leurs politiques d ouverture de donn es et plus particuli rement, les b n fices directs et indirects. Ces aspects sont essentiels afin d acc l rer la publication de jeux de donn es sup-pl mentaires et d en encourager la r utilisation. Abstract5 Creating Value through open DataAbstractExecutive SummaryI If I had to express my views about the digital future that of Europe or indeed, of the whole world - I could do it with one word: data . Andrus Ansip, Vice-President Digital Single Market I7 Executive SummaryExecutive Summary Governments have a large number of basic data which can be of economic and social Value to society as a whole.

7 Along those lines, more and more European countries are developing policies to release this data as open (Government) data . open data refers to information that can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose. It must be available under an open licence and provided in a conveni-ent and modifiable form that is machine readable. Within the European Union, key framework conditions for successful open data policy making have been set up. In doing so, the European Commission aimed at Creating a data Value chain friendly policy environ-ment. The objective is to put in place the systemic prerequisites for effective use and re-use of data through legal and soft law measures.

8 In 2003, the European Union (EU) adopted legislation to foster the re-use of open Government data in Member States via the Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive 2003/98 The main objective was to en-sure equal treatment of all potential re-users where the public sector body had released information for re-use. The PSI Directive was subsequently amended in 2013 by Directive 2013/37 With this amendment, the general principle was introduced that all in-formation accessible under Member State legislation is in principle re-usable. Also, ad-ministrative charges should in principle no longer exceed the marginal costs of making it available for re-use, excluding charging of the re-user for the production of the infor-mation.

9 Re-use of information released for re-use by cultural institutions should also be subject to an obligation of equal treatment of all potential re-users while such institu-tions could continue to charge re-users in a way allowing them to recover the costs of production of the seLes gouvernements disposent d un grand nombre de donn es de base qui peuvent tre d une valeur conomique et sociale. Dans ce sens, un nombre croissant d tats europ ens ont t amen s d velopper des politiques visant publier les donn es publiques plus syst matiquement. Les don-n es ouvertes, ou open data en anglais, renvoient des informations qui peuvent tre librement utilis es, modifi es et parta-g es par toute personne quelque fin que ce soit.

10 Elles se doivent d tre disponibles sous licence ouverte, dans un format facile d utilisation et modifiable. Enfin ces don-n es doivent tre fournies sous une forme lisible par sein de l Union europ enne, des condi-tions-cadres essentielles la r ussite de l laboration de politiques de donn es ou-vertes ont t mises en place. Pour ce faire, la Commission europ enne vise cr er un environnement favorable l ensemble de la cha ne de valeur des donn es. L objectif est de mettre en place les conditions sys-t miques indispensables pour soutenir la publication et la r utilisation des donn es publiques. Ces instruments peuvent tre autant l gislatifs que non 2003, l Union europ enne (UE) a adopt de nouvelles dispositions l gislatives favo-risant la r utilisation de donn es publiques ouvertes dans les tats membres.
