A1;"Uses an automatic process to expose data stored in legacy databases;";"Yes;The platform pulls data (virtually in real time) from legacy DBs, with standard connectors available (for most DBs);";"Automatable, using  ‘Publish’ APIs made available to data holders;";"Automatable, using  ‘Publish’ APIs made available to data holders;";"Automatable, using ‘Publish’ APIs made available to data holders;"
A2;"Uses APIs at the data level (such as transformations);";"Yes (such as CSV to JSON), and data filtering;";"Yes (such as CSV to JSON);";"No;";"No;"

A5;"Allows to perform a data quality check (and related data refinement);";"Not directly;";"Not directly, but it enables quality check, such as  identifying data types for values;";"Not as embedded functionality, but a OpenRefine extension is available for CKAN; ";"Not as embedded functionality, but ENGAGE provides a strong integration with OpenRefine); Besides, data curation by the community is encouraged;"
A6;"Is designed to be integrated with (or includes) a front-end / open data portal;";"Yes, it is planned to integrate Open-DAI as a back-end of the Open Data portal of the Piedmont Region;";"Yes, but poorly customizable;Ongoing attempts by third parties, such as an integration point with Drupal is being developed , still in Alpha mode;";"Yes; On top of the standard front-end, there are well experimented modules for Drupal and Wordpress;";"Yes; A full-fledged front-end is included;"
A7;"Releases APIs to reuse data;";"Yes, RESTful APIs;";"Yes, RESTful APIs;";"No;";"No; RESTful APIs are implemented only at metadata level;"

B2;"Designed to publish dynamic data;";"Yes;";"Yes;";"No, only static files;";"Yes;"
B3;"Designed to expose geo-referenceable data;";"Yes;";"Yes;";"No, but allows to expose georeferenced metadata;";"Yes;"
B4;"Designed to expose Linked Open Data (meaning at least RDF triple store+SPARQL endpoint+other features, such as ontology mapping);";"Yes;";"No;The ‘Community edition’ allows data exposure as RDF, but with no triple store, nor SPARQL endpoint;";"No, just linked metadata;";"Yes;"
B5;"Presents prototypes of data reuse;";"Yes, for instance Open-DAI pilot services;";"Yes;";"Yes, such as tabular previews;";"Yes, derived datasets;"
C1;"Released as open-source software;";"Yes;";"Not the standard edition (Yes, in case of the ‘Community Edition’);";"Yes;";"Not yet, however the consortium is inclined to release the basic engine under the MIT License;"

C3;"Available “on premise” by the data holder (as a DB independent from the provider’s API);";"Yes;";"No;";"Yes (but has a ‘hosted’ option);";"Yes;"
D1;"Allows to gather feedback on data (also in terms of ‘forked’ datasets);";"Yes, in the case of service pilots that enable data flow in both directions;";"Yes, users can manipulate files and save their edits;";"Yes (through the ‘datahub;io’ portal);";"Yes, derived datasets are welcome and are tracked by the system;"
D2;"Encompasses a ticketing system;";"No;";"No;";"No;";"Yes, the issue tracking system covers bug, license issues and general questions/suggestions; Moreover, users may place a new request for data not available on the portal;"
