EU High‑Value Datasets (HVD) with ArcGIS INSPIRE Open Data

Europe’s data policy is shifting from compliance‑driven publication toward reuse‑ready open data. The EU Open Data Directive and the High‑Value Datasets (HVD) Implementing Act emphasize discoverability, access through APIs, and cross‑border reuse—treating public sector data as shared digital infrastructure. ArcGIS INSPIRE Open Data supports this shift by helping public authorities publish, manage, and reuse EU Open Data and High‑Value Datasets using modern services, open standards, and pragmatic geospatial good practices. This story shows how INSPIRE Open Data can be used as a foundation for EU Open Data delivery, with High‑Value Datasets at the center.
