Public Sector Datasets Catalogues
Asturias, Spain: 9 October 2009
Open Data @ CTIC is the Blog and information site of the Fundación CTIC. The site publishes comprehensive, current and stimulating discussions and information about pubic data access and re-use topics.
Open Data @ CTIC comments that: the discussion is no longer about whether to create a data.gov but rather the question is ‘how to create it’.
Recently, Open Data @ CTIC has published a list of Public Sector Data Catalogues. The list is extensive with 20 links to public data catalogues. This is a list which will continue to grow. It includes datasets made public by international organisations such as the World Bank and the United Nations. The datasets are from countries across continents including Europe at national and municipal levels.

“Every day, public administrations and agencies around the world are producing vast amounts of information in carrying out their public functions.
