The SharePSI workshop last week in Brussels discussed barriers to PSI reuse and a pan European market for reuse. Over the course of the session some 100 barriers were mentioned and some 160 ways or pointers to overcome those barriers.

All the remarks on barriers and ways to overcome them have been collected from the notes and slides, and listed. This was the basis for the discussion summary, which is now open for your input and comments. At the same time the mentioned barriers have been turned into a map, giving an overview. (A map of all mentioned solutions is forthcoming)

Below, in the first image, is the overview of the map. Each cluster has a more detailed version. Within each cluster hexagons are the mentioned barriers. Hexagons of the same color in a cluster are of a similar type. A square box in that color is the label for that group. Click on the overview image to go to a clickable map with links to all the more detailed versions, or browse through the images in this posting.

For each cluster there is a more detailed version (click for larger scale/original format)
