• Public sector data available as pan-european
harmonised datasets
• Easy to discover, easy to purchase
• Harmonised licence conditions
15. Why is Reference data important?
Users require:
a trustworthy
source & quality
assured data
The ‘on the web’ world
The real world – but you can’t
get everything from Earth
