| skos:note | The national open data legislation in EU member states is based on the EU's Directive on open data and the re-use of public sector information (PSI Directive). This directive encourages EU countries to make as much public sector information available for re-use as possible. Each member state has the responsibility to implement this directive into their national law, which may vary in specifics from country to country. |
| skos:definition | Open data legislation in EU member states is a set of national laws and regulations that implement and develop the European Union's regulations on open data. These laws govern the accessibility, reusability, and distribution of various types of data held by public sector bodies. The aim is to promote transparency, innovation, and economic growth by making data freely available to all. |
