public bodies have produced or commissioned, and that are open for use, re-use and distribution. By today OGD rationale has been established and general frameworks are being implemented. Remaining challenges are still many and include data analytics, data
interoperability and data fusion, data capability and data literacy, assessment and incentivizing of OGD. These are in turn entangled with related local, national and international policies, historical traditions and IT infrastructures.

for data analytics and knowledge discovery. The perspectives focus in particular on: 1) general approaches and specific algorithms, processes or tools for knowledge discovery; 2) application areas and cases of use, including metrics and decision making in
different contexts; 3) pre-requisites for access to data: data capability and data literacy, data and metadata standards to support data and knowledge discovery (including entity extraction), user interfaces; and, 4) related policies.
