Objective
PSINET is a preparatory action supporting the overall aim of the call to explore and demonstrate the commercial potential of Europe's Public Sector Information resources in digital Content products and services through cross-border, public/private partnerships.
Among the key issues to be addressed are the metadata and new forms of public/private partnerships and exploitation models. PSINET will cover and involve the ten associated states of Central and Eastern Europe (C&EE) as well as all EU member states, on an equal footing.
The Commission's Green Paper on « Public Sector Information in the Information Society » and subsequent debate have defined the basic terrain in which progress is required on access to and exploitation of public sector information. However, further preparatory, identification and definition work is required to set the scene for and stimulate actions which are precisely targeted to meet the key needs.
The aim of PSINET is to provide a baseline for this programme of work and to prepare the ground for a PSI Network of Excellence to come into being.
