Different actors such as governments, civil society organisations, citizens and companies have begun to asses and monitor the functioning of parliaments as well as their individual members.

This has led to the creation of many websites, tools and services that make use of parliamentary data in order to better explain, analyse, contextualise and visualise how parliaments actually work.

Topic Report 7: PSI re-use in Portugal

published 2011-12-01 11:00

Portugal has implemented both the PSI Directive and the INSPIRE Directive. The Portuguese have set up procedures for obtaining data as well as for redress procedures. Remarkably, Portuguese PSB's have the obligation to distinguish between commercial and non-commercial re-users in their pricing policies. The market for re-use is mostly based on sectoral deals, and the Portuguese Open Data movement is not very strong, when compared to other Member States. The imminent launch of a National Data Portal will likely have a positive effect on PSI re-use in Portugal.
