Anyone interested in addressing the topic of open data in greater detail on behalf of their organization generally needs more than just suitable infrastructure. That’s why, in addition to being a metadata portal, the data atlas is also a gateway to support services, such as:
- A data help desk
- Introductory workshops on open data
- Intensive courses for data stewards at civil society organizations
Data are not only an economic resource, they are also a public good. There are many ways open data benefit society as a whole: They increase transparency, objectify the discourse and help create an open information culture. Yet data can only offer added value if they are used. This requires easy access without substantial barriers. That is precisely what the Data Atlas for Civil Society does: It provides straightforward access to open data from community groups, foundations and other civil society organizations.
Now you can use the Data Atlas for Civil Society, to make open data from your organization visible and findable – while discovering open data from other organizations that can assist you in your work.
