Article 32s – Practical arrangements

Member States shall make practical arrangements facilitating the search for data or documents available for re-use, such as asset lists of main data or documents with relevant metadata, accessible where possible and appropriate online and in machine-readable format, and portal sites that are linked to the asset lists. Where possible, Member States shall facilitate the cross-linguistic search for data or documents, in particular by enabling metadata aggregation at Union level. Member States shall also encourage public sector bodies to make practical arrangements facilitating the preservation of data or documents available for re-use.

Member States shall, in cooperation with the Commission, continue efforts to simplify access to datasets, in particular by providing a single point of access and by progressively making available suitable datasets held by public sector bodies with regard to the data or documents to which this Section applies, as well as to data held by Union institutions, in formats that are accessible, readily findable and re-usable by electronic means.
