The European Commission published the results of the interim evaluation of the ISA² Programme.

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 EUPL is also legally consistent with the copyright law of all EU countries, and compatible with other open source licences.

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.

The use of the EUPL helped the team achieve the objective of having a fully open source-based project. I would highly recommend the use of the EUPL in research projects as it creates a community with a strong philosophy of sharing and compatibility, said Martin Serrano Orozco, Senior Research Fellow / Internet of Things & Stream, National University of Ireland – Insight Centre for Data Analytics.
