Data Strategy Briefing — June 9, 2024

Executive briefing: 9 June 2024 marked the deadline for EU Member States to provide the first category of high-value datasets (geospatial, earth observation, environment, meteorological, statistics, and mobility) under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138, requiring machine-readable formats, APIs, and bulk download options.

Key data governance checkpoints

• Inventory updates. Confirm national authorities published mandated datasets in open, machine-readable formats with applicable metadata.
• API readiness. Evaluate API coverage, rate limits, and licensing terms to integrate high-value datasets into analytics programmes.
• Quality monitoring. Track dataset refresh frequencies and quality indicators to ensure compliance with the regulation’s accuracy requirements.

Operational priorities

• Integration pipelines. Automate ingestion of updated high-value datasets into data lakes and modelling workflows.
• Commercial strategy. Assess new products or services that can leverage freely available datasets while respecting attribution and licensing conditions.
• Compliance reviews. Document reuse policies and attribution statements to meet regulatory reuse obligations.

Enablement moves

• Engage with national open-data portals to report API issues or request additional metadata.
• Update internal data catalogues to flag high-value datasets, their refresh cadence, and reuse restrictions.

Sources

• Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/138
• European Commission guidance on high-value datasets

Zeph Tech helps organisations operationalise high-value dataset reuse with ingestion automation, licensing governance, and product experimentation.
