Indexation
Database ; Databases, Factual ; Open Data ; statistics and numerical data [Subheading] ; Statistics [PT]Abstract: The purpose of Data.gov is to increase public access to high value, machine readable datasets generated by the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. Contents note: "Raw" Data Catalog: Data.gov features a catalog with instant view/download of platform-independent, machine readable data (e.g., XML, CSV, KMZ/KML, or shape file formats), as well as a link to a metadata page specific to the respective dataset. The metadata page will have additional links to authoritative source information from the sponsoring agency's website including any pertinent agency technical documentation regarding the dataset.
Tools Catalog: Data.gov features a tool catalog to provide the public with simple, application-driven access to Federal data with hyperlinks. This catalog features widgets, data mining and extraction tools, applications, and other services.
Widgets: are interactive virtual tools that provide single-purpose services such as showing the user the latest news, the current weather, the time, a calendar, a dictionary, a map program, a calculator, desktop notes, photo viewers, or even a language translator, among other things.
Data Mining and Extraction Tools: offer applications that allow users to either produce maps, tables, or charts of the subset of data that are specific to the user's interests or to build their own dataset extracted from a data source. Note that many of these sites also offer downloadable data.The data mining tools that provide access to data that are not available for the raw data catalog are of particular interest.
RSS Feeds: RSS (also known as Really Simple Syndication) is a format of data feed some agencies use to provide frequently updated content. When an agency feed is syndicated it means an individual can subscribe to it and get automatically updated content from the aggregator of the particular feed.
Geodata Catalog: Data.gov features a geodata catalog that includes trusted, authoritative, Federal geospatial. This catalog includes links to download the datasets and a metadata page with details on the datasets, as well as links to more detailed Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata information.Link for e-copy: http://www.data.gov/ Format of e-copy: Webpage Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=1937
