Session on Benefits and Risks of PSI Re-use

On 17 and 18 November the 6th European Ministerial e-Government conference is taking place in Poznan, Poland.

One of the parallel sessions on the program on 17 November is dedicated to open government data and is titled "Benefits and Risks of Public Sector Information Reuse".
