About Social Data

I managed to retrieve two exceptional maps (the one is currently under open construction) where all the worldwide open data initiatives are depicted:

• CTIC Open Data Map A finished dynamic map constantly updated containing supra/sub and national open data sources
• Open Data Census (by Tim MacNamara): An attempt to depict all the open data sources (under construction)

A new open initiative came to light today. It concerns the city of Stockholm, Sweden which launched its open data platform.

The site is only found in Swedish hence it might be a bit difficult for a non swedish speaker to navigate. However, the site administrators have clarified that soon the portal will be fully translated to English so as to address the foreign audience.

The City of Stockholm Open Data initiative can be accessed from here

The table below containing sources of open city data has been copied by European Public Sector Information (PSI) Platform

These are a list of cities with data catalogues as retrieved on  DataGovLoop:

Local and Regional Data from England and Scotland:

• Neighborhood Statistics: Just select the area of interest (by name or postcode) and all the relevant data will appear (England)
• Scottish Neighborhood Statistics: Similar to its English broth but with Scottish data
