Recital 52
(52) Tools that help potential re-users to find documents available for re-use and the conditions for re-use can facilitate considerably the cross-border use of public sector documents. Member States should therefore ensure that practical arrangements are in place that help re-users in their search for documents available for re-use. Assets lists, accessible preferably online, of main documents (documents that are extensively re-used or that have the potential to be extensively re-used), and portal sites that are linked to decentralised assets lists are examples of such practical arrangements. Measures to facilitate the authentication of public documents also offer important guarantees to users.

They should also be published via Application Programming Interfaces, whenever the dataset in question contains dynamic data. As with other public sector information, they should be accompanied with authentication tools which give users confidence.
