Editorial
Since 2003, the European Union has indicated its willingness to permit the re-use of public sector information for an economic exploitation of those resources and therefore adopted the directive 2003/98/EC to permit the re-use of public sector information. This is a crucial issue for the emergence of an Information Society. This willingness was reinforced by a recent modification of the existing regulatory framework. The European legislator substantially amended the Directive 2003/98 on the re-use of public sector information in particular to require Member States to allow the re-use of existing documents held by their public sector bodies at marginal cost. This right is dedicated to any person or legal entity that follows a commercial or non-commercial purposes.
Directive 2003/98 and its amendment in 2013 are part of the European Commission's objective to make open data the rule in Member States. This objective is an important part of the Union's Digital Agenda as complemented more recently by the Digital Single Market Strategy.
In this context, CRIDS has conducted a project sponsored by the Computer Center for the Brussels Region (CIRB) which is an integral part of the mission to qualify Brussels as a smart city. The aim of the Open Data project is to analyze, compare and select an open data system for the Brussels-Capital region. The study clarifies the legal framework applicable to public data. The legal analysis focused on the intellectual property rights of the public sector bodies and their management in accordance with the directive 2003/98/EC as amended by the directive 2013/37/UE. The scrutiny by the CRIDS of both international licenses such as Creative Commons, Open Data Commons and the national licenses used by various Belgian public entities is a real benefit. The intervention of the CRIDS permits to clarify the complexity and the intellectual property matters of the most common open licenses by the detailed analysis of every clause and their compatibility with each other.
Our intervention occurred at the time of the transposition of the directive into national law and the adoption of a set of licenses for public sector by the political sector. Based on this study, the Center was able to provide a series of recommendations on the choice of licenses, taking into account the needs of the Region and the regulatory framework for the re-use of public sector information, the protection of personal data and intellectual property rights.

PROMISE II
Considering the fact that some data and documents are now only available online, web archiving has become of utmost importance. Furthermore, the limited lifespan of online information creates issues for the safeguard of digital heritage and information. The web archiving is decisive from a cultural and historical point of view. The objective of PROMISE II is to study and analyze the legal framework for preserving online information and enabling the web archiving in Belgium.
WAL-E-CITIES
Wal-e-Cities is a research project aiming at the development of Smart Cities in Wallonia in a specific context. Wallonia consists of medium-size cities in a rural and urban small territory, with 5 main attractive and innovative poles, meaning that the Smart City concept has to be considered at a Smart Region level.
