    The presentation introduces the Open Data Certificate which aims to help reusers, publishers and policy makers by providing a quality badge and measurement framework for open data.

    The goals for reusers are to easily find open data and understand what they can legally do with it and how reliable it is. The goals for publishers are to improve their practices with an interactive self-assessment tool. The goals for policy makers are to set requirements and measure quality and quantity of open data.

    The four aspects assessed are legal (rights and licensing), practical (availability and quality), technical (formats and standards) and social (documentation and support).
