This year's Sharing & Reuse Conference held in Bucharest brought many insightful presentations on sharing and reuse of IT solutions and open source, as well as the announcement of the Sharing & Reuse Awards 2019 winners. Watch the conference highlights!
To support interoperability principles of openness, transparency and reusability, the National Interoperability Framework Observatory has published the latest edition of the Digital Government factsheets in both linked open data and HTML open formats. This way, it is significantly expanding the reach and impact of the information gathered in the factsheets but also its potential reuse.
Watch the video interview presenting the European Union Public Licence (EUPL) in a nutshell. It is a unique open source licence created by the European Commission and available in 23 EU languages.

The European Commission published the results of the interim evaluation of the ISA² Programme. The outcome adopted on 23 September 2019 has the form of a report to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU.

Among ISA² solutions, the European Union Public Licence (EUPL) is very specific. Its goal is to provide a modern licensing tool to all software licensors in Europe: European institutions, national administrations and even to private developers. Read more about the use of the EUPL in the blog post by legal expert Patrice-Emmanuel Schmitz.
‘Space’ can have various meanings, such as ‘a continuous area or expanse which is free, available, or unoccupied’ or ‘the freedom to live, think, and develop in a way that suits one’. Both definitions can give us an idea on what trans-European data spaces may represent in digital public services. At SEMIC 2019, we would like to explore the link between semantic interoperability and trans-European data spaces.
Watch the video interview with the programme officer Georges Lobo on how interoperability governance contributes to the Digital Single Market. He explains the concepts behind interoperability governance on examples from practice.
The Joint Research Centre will launch a procurement aiming to investigate how Spatial Data Infrastructures can evolve into data ecosystems and support the goals of digital government in Europe. This procurement is organised in the context of the ELISE Action (European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government) of the ISA² Programme.
The aim of the webinar is to share and discuss best practices among EU countries related to the creation of their registry of registries. The organisers will also collect feedback concerning the progress of the second phase of the ISA² action Access to Base Registries.
This event will provide an opportunity to discuss the main policy drivers of the digital transformation and how the EU research and innovation agenda can contribute to them. ISA² co-organises a session on Deployment, best use of digital capacity and interoperability on 20 September (15:00-16:15). You can also visit our stand in the expo area.
Join the last data visualisation webinar! It will be the opportunity to discover visualisation in data analysis, to get to know different data types and visualisations that fit to them, and to learn how to introduce lesser known chart types to readers.
The organisational and governance aspects of interoperability are a crucial element in the development and delivery of European digital public services. Ongoing work is focused on clarifying and providing guidance on the implementation of these concepts. Read more in the blog post.
