Hi everyone, Does anyone know about any open data projects out there? What I'm looking for is something like a gigantic data back-end that apps can plug into via an API, and whose data the world has free access to. One really trivial use-case would be pricing data at grocery stores (something I've been passively collecting for years via GnuCash, and something that would be really fascinating to see nation- or world-wide), but a more applicable example would be something like census data (which is usually publicly viewable, but not usually part of a comprehensive data ecosystem).
I'm wondering this because I'm going to be issuing some questionnaires in an attempt to determine the current state of development of collaboration among nonprofits (part of my "Open Source Social Sector" project, if anyone wants to help me!) and I'd love to be able to share my data, or -- perhaps better yet -- combine my data set with one that already exists. Thanks, Kael _______________________________________________ Osdc-list mailing list | This is a place for our readers, writers, moderators and artists to discuss matters concerning Opensource.com and otherwise do the work that makes this a community practicing the open source way.
