Intro to LAPSI from Federico http://www.lapsi-project.eu (work in progress...) See also: http://www.lapsi-project.eu/wiki

About LAPSI Information generated and collected by public sector entities represents a veritable minefield; it might make a much greater contribution to EU economies and societies, if current legal barriers to access and re-use were removed. TheLAPSI (Legal Aspects of Public Sector Information) project intends to build anetwork apt to become the main European point of reference for high-level policy discussions and strategic action on all legal issues related to the access and the re-use of the PSI namely in the digital environment.
