Open Data Australia survey 2017 pilot

Brief description

This collection contains data used in the 2017 pilot of an Australia-wide Open Data survey conducted by the Environmental Informatics group in CSIRO L&W. It contains list of open data collections and records (government and research), and files with lists of web endpoints queried for its size, format and date. The data is then able to be used with a companion software package which performs the analytics and visualisation for the pilot survey.

The majority of open data collections and records used in this survey comes from sources listed in the Credit field, which were indexed in the CSIRO Knowledge Network (http://kn.csiro.au). Data from THREDDS data service sources (NCI, TPAC, AODN, CSIRO TDS) were not indexed by the CSIRO Knowledge Network but is included as part of this pilot survey representing significant parts of the open research data sector.

Files contained in this repository summarise various perspectives of the survey and uses Tab-separated values (TSV) format and JSON format. These formats were chosen for ease of use in the software package for analysis and visualisation. The software used will be published as a separate entry (DOI to be added soon).
