HOMER “Harmonising Open Data in the Mediterranean through Better Access and Reuse of
Public Sector Information” idea has been defined in 2011, when, in MED area:
Open data policies were a frontier policy for the regions; Terminology obscured; Difficulties in defining a suitable network; Governments were not recognising the benefits of making their data open and
reusable; Regione Piemonte adopted its regional law on OD and launched the first OD
portal in Italy (dati.piemonte.it)
HOMER, the Origin
to aggregate and capitalise all the relevant MED Open Data initiatives;
to set up an effective strategy to harmonise Open data policy and portals across the MED area;
to ensure that the Open Data strategy is transferable and re-usable by a large number of public administrat ions in the MED area;
to set up the basis for a transnational digital market in the Mediterranean area, setting up MED PSI Federation thus promoting interoperable and multilingual solutions;

HOMER Contribution and expected IMPACT Harmonise both from a legal point of view and technical aspects the OD
portals in MED;
Federation effect: ease of finding data for final users (citizens or business – not only for geek). HOMER case can be a benefit for Europe;
Stimulate the re-use federated data: more re-use opportunity founded on similar shared data;
Discovering new opportunities to develop useful applications for citizens and government with data and linked data and enhance economic growth and creation of job opportunities;
Create awareness about Open Data policy : as example, initiate harmonising the Montenegrin legislation and licensing with EU policies on PSI Directive;
