Abstract: Abstract The paper presents a proposal for a framework for the identification, assessment and selection of open data sources based on certain quality criteria, such as accessibility, relevance, accuracy & reliability, clarity, timeliness & punctuality, and coherence & comparability. The framework concerns mainly open data sources and focuses on their quality. The open data are used to enhance existing internal data and to fuse them with data from other sources. The framework consists of few steps starting from definition of quality criteria based on review of relevant literature and user requirements, then identification of potential sources, sources assessment and selection, and finally data retrieval process. For each step, a specific approach is described, how it may be conducted in practice. The proposed framework is evaluated using a real use case scenario from the maritime domain. The main approach utilized in this use-case is the Delphi method with some characteristics of Analytic Hierarchy Process.
