In line with this commitment, the DPGA Secretariat recently proposed a significant enhancement to the criteria needed for open data sets and open content collections to be recognised as DPGs.This proposal, which was open for public comment and underwent the DPG Standard’s governance procedures, is now being implemented as a new requirement under the DPG Standard and will be effective as of Sept 1st, 2024.
