The document summarizes a presentation given at the UK Intellectual Property Office NESTA on measuring the benefits of public sector intangible assets. It discusses studies that have estimated the economic potential of reusing public sector information in Europe. It also describes the methodology and key results of the 2008 EU study on assessing the reuse of geographical, meteorological, and legal public sector information. Specifically, it found that legal and administrative information holders reported noticeable changes in their data policies and growing markets since 2002.

Identification of key indicators for analysing the re-use of PSI in each specific field. Measurement of the re-use of PSI in each specific field.

Meteorologocal information Synoptic observations Radar images Weather predictions 3. Legal and administrative information Primary and secondary legislation Legislation, regulations and official notices Decisions of national and regional courts PSI Holders: Supply Web portals Customers Data policy Standard product PSI Reuser: Procurement Information about company Data policy Substitution Web portals Customers Information types Indicators

PSI Holders - Questionnaire Supply indicators: income number of requests volume of data transfers Web portals Customers Data policy: price and licenses Benchmark for a standard product PSI Re-user - Questionnaire Procurement indicators: expenditure frequency of the requests data volume Use of PSI Substitution with private data Information about company Modified questionnaire Methodology – Data acquisition Phase 2: Telephone interviews Phase 1: Online questionnaire
- 8. Results – Legal and administrative information The majority of PSI holders indicated that they have made noticeable changes in their data policy since 2002, nearly 50% of them confirmed that the changes were brought about by legislation. (79%) of the PSI holders interviewed offer legislative and administrative information free of charge via the internet. The market for legal and administrative information is growing: since 2002 an average increase level of 40% has been reported by PSI holders (exceptional growth rates with re-users who add value to PSI is evident in specific market segments (e.g. property services market in UK)).
