New website

The (EDP) beta version was launched on November 2015. Since then, a new version of the website has been released several times a year with the latest being on 2 May 2019, when the EDP launched version 2.3 of the website.

Previous enhancements and extensions of the EDP website included:

• the development of an API for editorial content (e.g. the EDP use cases, news items and events),
• harvesting of additional catalogues from geo- and non-geo sources,
• a focus on linked metadata (interlinking metadata sets),
• enhancing graphical data visualisations and the geo-spatial visualisation services such as city level base maps that are provided by Eurostat, and
• enhancements of the MQA with the use of W3C Data Quality Vocabulary (DQV), introducing a scoring metric and enhancing catalogue reports.

The EDP version 2.3 includes several new features - features that are visible and hidden from end-users. The new features for version 2.3 include:
