Datasets

The portal covers datasets from international, European, national, regional and local public administrations. The portal goes beyond open data so the license should be checked on how the dataset can be used.

In general, all data is available for free and can be used, for example, in developing innovative services and products.

Metadata of datasets

DCAT defines a dataset as 'a collection of data, published or curated by a single agent, and available for access or download in one or more representations.' The portal collects the metadata of public data made available across Europe and beyond. Differences in how this descriptive data is displayed are related to the original metadata provided by the publisher. The portal collects the metadata even when it contains deviations from the common data model. With the scope of improving the quality of the metadata and data, the portal constantly assesses the quality of the metadata errors and communicates them back to the owners of the datasets. Metadata quality evaluation is visible for each dataset and for entire collections as a dashboard. More information is provided in section Analytics on the portal

Special mention is made with regard to formats. The portal collects all datasets from the portals it harvests, without excluding any format. Data is collected and made available in the file format provided by the data provider. The format shown is the one indicated in the metadata of the dataset's distribution.

Also with regards to licences, the portal collects all datasets from the portals it harvests, without excluding datasets under non-commercial licences. Data is collected with the type of licence provided by the source. A dataset licence is an explicit and legally binding statement of recipients' rights, restrictions, and obligations in relation to a specific dataset. Usually, it is expressed through a written contract or through a unilateral statement from the rights holder(s), but it may also be expressed through legislation or other regulatory initiatives.

Who provides the data?

The datasets you can find on the portal come from many European administrations' national open data portals (in keeping with Directive 2003/98/EC and subsequent modifications) and geo-data portals (in keeping with the Inspire directive and subsequent modifications). EU institutions provide datasets of European scope. There are also several non-governmental organisations who publish their datasets on the portal.

Currently, datasets from the following catalogues are published on the portal.

How to export the metadata of the dataset

The metadata of a dataset can be exported via the details page of the requested dataset. The Linked Data tab allows the user to download the metadata in various representations. In particular, RDF/XML, Turtle, Notation3, N-Triples and JSON-LD are exportable. Alternatively, the user can extend the dataset ID in the URL with the intended file extension. In particular and in same order, .rdf, .ttl, .n3, .nt and jsonld.

The metadata of the distribution of a dataset is located under the same hood. The user can export the metadata of a dataset to extract the metadata of a corresponding distribution. Analogously, the user can export the metadata of a catalogue under the catalogue details page. Go to the datasets page and select catalogues. From there select the requested catalogue and export metadata via Catalogues Metadata as Linked Data dropdown.

Provided data formats

Datasets on data.europa.eu are updated on a daily basis and the data they describe is provided in various formats. Hence, a comprehensive list of all available formats would be impractical.
