The health data access bodies should provide information about the available datasets and their characteristics so that health data users can be informed of elementary facts about the dataset and assess the possible relevance of those facts to those users. For this reason, each dataset should include, at least, information concerning the source and nature of the data and the conditions for making the data available. The health data holder should, at least every year, check that its dataset description in the national dataset catalogue is accurate and up to date. Therefore, an EU dataset catalogue should be established to: facilitate the discoverability of datasets available in the EHDS; help health data holders to publish their datasets; provide all stakeholders, including the general public, taking into account the specific needs of people with disabilities, with information about datasets placed on the EHDS, such as quality and utility labels and dataset information sheets; and provide health data users with up-to-date data quality and utility information about datasets.
