Research at the UOC on Public Sector Information on the Internet

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Open University of Catalonia, UOC) has developed research on the regulation of e-government and, in particular, public sector information diffusion on the internet over recent years. This research has led to a series of results.

The 1st Workshop on Public Sector Information on the Internet was organised in 2005, looking at Directive 2003/98/EC, on the re-use of public sector information and the state of the question in cartographic information re-use in Spain. As a result, La reutilización de la información del sector públic was published by Comares.

The 2nd Workshop on Public Sector Information on the Internet was held in 2006 and looked at quality and liability in public sector information on the internet. The main conclusions reached were included in the La qualitat i la responsabilitat per la difusió d'informació pública a Internet research published by the Catalan Public Administration College.

In 2007, a Workshop was organised on the Law on Citizens’ Electronic Access to Public Services, the results of which can be consulted on this link.

About ePSIplus

ePSIplus is a Thematic Network, funded by the eContentplus programme, to support the implementation of the European Directive on Public Sector Information (PSI) Re-use, in the period leading up to its review in 2008.

The ePSIplus portal provides access to a wide range of knowledge emerging in this field, across all EU member states, of key interest to public and private sector stakeholders, together with an opportunity to engage in debate on key issues.

The ePSIplus Network is a community rich in knowledge, experience and motivation. This community includes organisations and individuals who are stakeholders from every European country in PSI re-use, from the public and private sector. This group participates in ePSIplus discussions, receives news and participates in ePSIplus expert meetings.

The Network also involves 25 European national representative organisations and a number of European Associations participating in promoting the Network and offering local insights and knowledge.
