Identifying recommended standards and best practices for open data

This Open North study examines open data standards practices to determine where they produce barriers to accessibility in terms of discovering, accessing and using data. It recommends standards for more global adoption to enable information sharing. The findings were presented at the International Open Data Conference (IODC) in 2015 for which Open North served as the conference reporting anchor for the standards stream.
