Also there are two different kinds of Open Data, one is Open Government Data (OGD) and another is data generated from scientific and research projects funded through governments grants. Connecting this two different kind of Open Data is possible by using rich metadata i.e by using CERIF (Common European research Information Format). CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) is a model format to manage Research Information. CERIF was developed with the support of the EC (European Commission) in two major phases: 1987-1990 and 1997-1999.
