On the other hand, only two countries offer the possibility of consulting their
OGD in a language other than the official one; this is the case for Spain and
Finland (see Figure 1.2). Although some sites do enable other languages for brows-

Belgium, there is more than one official language.
Of the formats used to present the data, the most widely used is CSV, which
is found in 13 portals, followed by XML and XLS (see Figure 1.12). At the other
extreme, the least used formats are those that are least editable, such as image types
(GIF and JPEG). Austria provides the largest number of formats for users, followed
by Italy, Spain, and France (see Figure 1.2).
