It attributes the lack of impact to shortcomings regarding data access (must be efficient) and data usefulness (must be effective). To address these shortcomings, seven key activities that add value to data are identified and are combined into the 7R Data Value Framework, which is an applied methodology for linked data to systematically address both technical and social shortcomings. The 7R Data Value Framework is then applied to the international Fusepool project that develops a set of integrated software components to ease the publishing of open data based on linked data and associated best practices. Real-life applications for the Dutch Parliament and the Libraries of Free University of Berlin are presented, followed by a concluding discussion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi6030556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,8]],"date-time":"2014-09-08T03:35:44Z","timestamp":1410147344000},"page":"556-583","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["7R Data Value Framework for Open Data in Practice: Fusepool"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Michael","family":"Kaschesky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Swissdat, Landoltstrasse 62, 3007 Bern, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Selmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bern University of Applied Sciences, E-Government Unit, Postfach 305, 3014 Bern, Switzerland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Australian Bureau of Statistics A Guide for Using Statistics for Evidence Based Policy.
