ABSTRACT
Public sector information (PSI) reuse and especially open data is a sector which the European Union is putting a lot of emphasis on, as it is seen as an opportunity to boost economic growth. The first results of the European Union's Open Public Data policies are already visible in Greece, however much more need still to be done. In this paper we briefly review the content of the Greek Open Government Data Portal and we present a preliminary survey that investigates the attitude of web and mobile applications developers towards open public data.
