Introduction“Methodology for the review
of the Directive” • it is essential to measure and
understand the effects of the Directive– in terms of its impact – and what further actions are
required
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
Please note ….• Mepsir is at an early stage,
where the development of the methodology is at a more complete testing stage
• Therefore definitions, subdomains, variables, indicators are subject to some change
• This workshop therefore welcomes constructive input to this process

mepsir objectives - 1• develop an appropriate repeatable
methodology to measure PSI re-use including
• definition of performance indicators of a quantitative nature (usually based on qualitative responses)
• which will allow for further periodical benchmarking of the evolving PSI framework environment against the Directive stated objectives
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
mepsir objectives - 2• conduct a first, baseline
measurement of PSI reuse in the EU Member States, the Accession Countries, and Norway using this methodology
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
mepsir objectives - 3• analyse the findings by monitoring
the evolution of PSI re-use over time • putting that into context with certain
key framework conditions such as– Accessibility– Transparency– Non-discrimination– Market conditions– Accountability
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
mepsir objectives - 4• compare and contrast the
results obtained for Europe with the situation in the United States, and draw lessons for Europe from this analysis.

Defining the boundaries• mepsir will define a number of
subdomains per domain, to develop a taxonomy covering the spectrum of information within the domain
• This series of taxonomies will be agreed at an early stage so that all stakeholders are aware of and are working to the same definitions
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
Coverage of DomainsWe cover all important PSI domains at a macro level
• Geographic information• Legal information • Transport information• Weather information• Business information• Statistical information
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
Coverage of Domains 2• elaborate on meso (web survey)
with data fed from micro level (interviews)
• Some in-depth case studies
• overall aim of the project is to evaluate the impact of the PSI directive over time
• So total coverage is not crucial so long as the possibility to replicate the measurements is shown
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
Indicators• Analysis based on indicators and
sub-indicators• Some are simple, binary• Others more complex, qualitative• We will derive quantitative,
statistically viable and comparable indicators
• For which data can be captured in a repeatable way
mepsir Athens 14th January 2005
The mepsir network• The mepsir core team will be
assisted by country teams of researchers in all 27 countries (the 25 countries of the enlarged EU plus the US and Norway)
• Researchers will be trained in methodology and tools before being asked to gather prescribed data for their countries

mepsir tools• Public website• Collaborative online working
environment• Structured questionnaires &
protocols• Analysis templates• Survey hosting site• Online survey linked to
database
