New EU rules make high-value datasets available to fuel artificial intelligence and data-driven innovation

The new rules have the potential to generate important societal and economic benefits by fuelling new innovative products and services such as artificial intelligence applications. 

These so-called “high-value datasets” contain information on six thematic areas laid out in the Open Data Directive: geospatial, earth observation and environment, meteorological, statistics, companies and mobility.

The high-value datasets will be available for free in machine-readable format in the official portal for European data, which includes more than 1.7 million datasets from EU institutions and agencies, as well as from Member States. They will be accessible via an Application Programming Interface (API) and, where relevant, as bulk downloads.
