The Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age

The Hague Declaration recognises the huge potential for knowledge discovery in an area of digital information whilst also acknowledging that steps need to be taken to remove obstacles and ensure that everyone can benefit from this potential. The principles outlined in the Declaration are designed to ensure that citizens, researchers, and businesses will all have equal opportunities to access data, and to develop and use digital tools for knowledge discovery.

The development of the Hague Declaration was led by LIBER and it was officially published on May 6th, 2015 in Brussels. By 2018, over 900 organisations and people have signed up to support it.
