Category 3: Public Sector Information (PSI) Data Catalogues (by Civil Society Initiatives)

Updated: 9 July 2010

What is included in this listing?

  • This listing includes European ‘Civil Society’ initiated portals, as well as those from non European countries at a central government level or by an international organisation.
  • Civil Society initiated portals means those catalogues put online NOT by governments but rather by individuals, digital activists or non-governmental organisations.

The inclusion criteria are that the civil society initiated portal:

  • Provides access to government data (from any level of government) or links to where government data can be accessed (in any format)
  • Some of these portals provide descriptive information about the data available

How is the listing organised?

  • There two main headings in this listing. One is European Union (EU) and the other is non EU. Under each of these headings, entries are in alphabetical order by country name or listed under international.
