Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive

The Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive is a European law that promotes the sharing and reuse of data held by government and public sector organizations. Its goal is to make information like research, geographic data, and official records more accessible to businesses and the public, fostering innovation and economic growth. The directive encourages governments to release their data in a way that is easy to access, reasonable to use, and financially sustainable, while respecting privacy and intellectual property rights. Overall, it aims to transform publicly funded information into a valuable resource for society.
