Civic Data As A Public Good.
Civic participation data treated as a public good, not a corporate asset. The EU has 14 sectoral Data Spaces - but none for democracy. Donate your data for democracy.
A Public Data Layer for Europe.
A secure, federated infrastructure - on a European cloud - for storing, sharing, and donating data. Supervised under EDPS standards, it treats data as a public good, not a corporate asset.
The EU has 14 sectoral Data Spaces - Health, Mobility and more - but none for democracy. Democracy Data Commons fills that gap: a Democracy Data Space built on citizens' donations, interoperable with the existing ones.
What We're Fighting For.
Civic-participation data as a high-value dataset
Recognise civic-participation data as a “high-value dataset” under EU open data rules.
A donation-based Democracy Data Space
Citizen data altruism: opt-in donations for the public good, under the banner #MyDataForDemocracy - data as a collective civic asset.
Interoperable with EU Data Spaces
A European cloud, supervised under EDPS standards, interoperable with the existing sectoral Data Spaces (Health, Mobility…).
Fourteen Data Spaces. None for Democracy.
14 sectoral EU Data Spaces
Health, mobility, energy and more - democracy is still missing from the list.
Open letter on Democracy Data Commons
Eumans asks the EU institutions to open the fifteenth Data Space: the one for democracy.
Put to Europe's Institutions.
We've put these demands to the European Commission and the European Data Protection Supervisor.
Co-sign the open letter.
Add your name to the citizens, institutions and organisations calling for civic data to be treated as a public good.
