DESCRIPTION
PublicData.eu is striving to become the Pan European one-stop-shop, providing access to open, freely reusable datasets from numerous local, regional and national public bodies across Europe. After the first release of the PublicData.eu website (Alpha release was Jan 2011 & Beta release was June 2011) and it's subsequent upgrades (a significant upgrade was efected March 2012), OKFN worked towards the deployment of various personalization features, meant to improve the user experience on Publicdata.eu and spur more interest and interaction around the official data-sets.

Agenda
We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting openness in all its forms (data + content)
We build:Communities + Tools
The Open Knowledge Foundation
A piece of content or data is open if anyone is free to use, reuse, and redistribute it — subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and share-alike.
